“We are desperate to make sure he is safe and well and I would urge anyone who knows where he might be to please call us.

“Please take a look at the photo of him and if you see him please get in touch.

“I also want Paul to know that we are here to help him and he is not in any trouble. If you do see this appeal, please could you let your family or police know that you are safe? “
