Local police have said “nothing is ruled out” as the search for missing teenager Jay Slater continues a week after his disappearance.
The 19-year-old from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, disappeared in Tenerife following an attempt to walk back to his accommodation after missing a bus.
He had attended the NRG music festival on the island with two friends before his disappearance.
New footage has now emerged which shows the teen dancing in a nightclub hours before he went missing.
Mr Slater was seen in Papagayo club in Playa de las Américas in the early hours of Monday, according to an eyewitness.
The man, 20, said he was filming people dancing as he wanted to “remember the moment” of everyone having a good time.
Speaking about Mr Slater, he said he “saw a lad staggering around in front of me”.
“You could see him get up off the ground, everyone turned there to look. They looked a bit concerned,” he told The Telegraph, adding the teen looked “worse for wear”.

‘I can’t give up on him’
The mother of Jay Slater has said she has “not slept” since the 19-year-old disappeared on the Canary Island of Tenerife.
Asked how the family was coping with the situation, Debbie Duncan, 55, said: “We’re not. I’m not coping very well at all.
“I’ve not slept, I’m exhausted. It’s been awful.”
“I can’t give up on him, I just can’t.”
She also said she did not know whether the Spanish authorities turning down an offer of help from the UK was because they viewed it as “an insult”.
