The scaffolder was last seen on CCTV trying to kick down a door in his hotel after locking himself out.

Willumsen says she last saw him when she left their room at the Jiva Beach Resort hotel in Fethiye to visit a friend.

The couple were on a five-day break in the Turkish resort.

Deanna flew home to be with their baby son Roanan two days after Troy went missing.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she said: "I'm just hoping and praying he is safe somewhere and will come home soon."

Turkish police have been told of three possible sightings of Troy in the Oludeniz area.

The Mirror reports that he has Deanna's bank card with him but it has not been used.

Deanna told the newspaper: "When I turned up at the airport, I was fully expecting Troy to be there waiting for me."

She added: "When he wasn't there, that's when it hit me that something bad might have happened."
