An emotional Ben Foden has broken his silence about missing friend and The X Factor: Celebrity bandmate Levi Davis. Levi, who was part of the rugby trio Try Star in the 2019 reality series, went missing at the end of October 2022 and his friends and family remain in the dark about his whereabouts.

Speaking exclusively to OK! as the one-year anniversary of Levi's disappearance approaches, rugby pro Ben, 38, said he wanted to remain "optimistic" for a happy outcome.

Along with fellow rugby star Thom Evans, Ben and Levi reached the semi finals of the Simon Cowell-fronted X Factor spinoff, eventually finishing fifth, with Towie's Megan McKenna taking the winning spot.

Ben told us: “Levi really struggled with his mental health, but we try to remain optimistic that he’s out there. We really feel for his parents and entire family." Levi, who was 24 at the time he went missing and playing for Worthing Raiders rugby team, was last seen alone on CCTV footage in The Old Irish Pub in Barcelona, and a £10,000 reward was offered to anyone who could provide information leading to his discovery.
