The family of a “vulnerable” 33-year-old missing after last being seen in London nearly three weeks ago say they are growing “increasingly concerned” for him.

Police are urgently searching for Patrick White, who was last sighted in Bishopsgate in the City of London on June 29.

Before that, he had been seen in Deptford Park in south-east London.

Mr White, from Circencester in Gloucestershire, is known for his appearance on Channel 4’s Celebrity First Dates.

He appeared on the show in 2016, when he went on a date with professional rugby league player Keegan Hirst, a year after the athlete became the first in his sport to publicly come out as gay.

Gloucestershire Police say Mr White, who is known as Paddy, “is considered vulnerable and often travels long distances by train”.

The force said he has previously been found in Brighton and London.

Mr White is described as white, 5ft 11ins tall, of slim build, with short, blond, wavy hair.

“Paddy’s family just want to know he is safe,” said a Gloucestershire Constabulary spokesperson. “So if you have any information, please call Gloucestershire Constabulary and quote incident 532 of 8 July.”

You can call 999 if you are with Paddy at the time or think he is in immediate danger, or if have sighted him recently and don’t consider him to be in immediate danger, you can call 101 and ask for Gloucestershire Constabulary. You can also give information through the Missing People charity on 116 000 or you can find out more information through the charity’s website www.missingpeople.org.uk
