The body was discovered by dog walkers around a mile from where mum-of-two Nicola Bulley went missing just over three weeks ago.

Nicola Bulley’s partner says he and her family are in “agony” as they await identification of a body found three weeks after the mum-of-two’s disappearance. The body was discovered by dog walkers in the River Wyre on Sunday (February 19) before being recovered from the water by Lancashire Police.

The force said formal identification had not yet been carried out and it was currently “unable to say” if it was Ms Bulley, who went missing as she walked her dog by the river on January 27. It added that the death was being treated as “unexplained” and that Ms Bulley’s family had been “made aware of developments”.

Speaking to Sky News, Ms Bulley’s partner Paul Ansell said he had “no words right now, just agony”. He added “we’re all together, we have to be strong”.
