Dad Kevin is co-ordinating the search from the family’s Balby home while wife Glenys and daughter Charlotte are in London looking for Andrew.

He said: “The sightings are very reassuring news - at least we now know he’s alive and has been looking after himself and we know that people are aware he’s missing and are keeping a look out for him.

“Of course, what we really want is to hear from Andrew himself and get him back home.”

His mum and sister have been distributing posters around London to help trace him.
