Whaite also revealed that his sister, Victoria Cunningham, does not have a passport with her.

He wrote that she had been unable to board a flight on Saturday, and that on Monday afternoon she was due to take a flight, but left Faro airport without money or her passport.

"Apparently she headed towards a petrol station in Faro.

"My other sister Jane and friend Chris are flying out now to try and find her.

"She is vulnerable and could pose a risk only to herself.

"If you see her please tell her that her family just want her home safe and sound," he tweeted.
