An Ibiza Weekender star has been missing for five days after reportedly meeting a ‘secret man with a van’ to travel back to Lithuania.

Her best friend Paul McCabe said friends were getting increasingly concerned because it was out of character for Ms Bukelyte to turn her phone off.

She was wearing a grey coloured jacket and blue jeans but may have changed into different clothes because she had a suitcase with her. 

Mr McCabe said: ‘It is very unusual behaviour and very out of character as she would never be off her phone as it’s her life. The phone hasn’t been on since Thursday which is very concerning for the people who know her.

‘We are at a loss and we do not know what else to do.’

The last contact anyone had with her was a phone message to a friend asking them to call her on an unknown person’s number. 

Mr McCabe said his friend was planning on meeting an unknown man who had a van and had promised to help her travel to Lithuania. 

A possible sighting was reported in Birkenhead, Merseyside, and Merseyside Police have opened an investigation. 

Anyone who has any information is being urged to call police on 101, with reference 457 of February 19 2021 and to give her name ‘Vidmante Bukelyte’.
