Nicola Bulley’s neighbour has appeared on GB News and said the disappearance of the Inskip mum has devastated the community.

Nicola, a 45-year-old mortgage adviser, disappeared while walking her dog in St Michael’s on Wyre on January 27.

Neighbour Charlotte Drake told GB News it is “heartbreaking” to see what the family is going through.

She said:  “She would do anything for anybody. We’re only a street of five houses and if you need anything, if you need any advice, if you need anything for the children, she's there.

“So I think that's why it's touched so many people's hearts because she is exactly how people are painting the picture to be.

“It's just an impossible situation to put yourself in, and to see what they're going through every single day, trying to remain positive, trying to wait for news with evidence, wait for just anything that they can discuss with the children.

“It's really heartbreaking to see what the whole family is going through on a daily basis and it's just a constant cycle that the whole community's feeling for them every single day.”

In an interview during Breakfast with Eamonn Holmes and Saira Khan, she said the case has “unnerved” women in the community.

She said: “We’ve all done that walk, we all walk that river, we're all mums, we all do the drop off.

“We all don't think that we will go and do a walk like that and not come back.

“It's really hit all mums, all women, because we've all done [that walk] and we've all managed to not fall in, we know the terrain.

“It's really unnerved people, especially with the lack of evidence. The thing that's eaten away at all of us on the street is it just doesn't feel right.

“It doesn't feel right that she would be in the water… obviously there's no evidence for any of the avenues of questioning.

“How can you just vanish into thin air? It seems impossible and yet here we are.”

Charlotte said she is in contact with Nicola’s husband, Paul Ansell, and her two children, nine-year-old Harriet and six-year-old Sophia.

She said: “We're in regular contact with Paul next door. We're helping with the girls.

“We're just trying to support as much as we can because we are a small row of houses and we see each other every day.

“There has to be someone who knows something.”

The search for Nicola is still ongoing and police have been looking for the missing mum for more than two weeks.

Police believe that Nicola may have fallen into the River Wyre river and underwater experts have since scoured the river and sea.
