Jay, an apprentice bricklayer from Lancashire, flew out to the holiday island with two friends for the NRG festival.

He went to the closing night Sunday with his pals Lucy and Brad, but left with two men he met that day to continue the evening at their accommodation.

Jay then made a frantic phone call on Monday to friend Lucy Law and told her he was stranded in the "middle of nowhere".

The Brit teen has not been heard from or seen since, with search crews desperately hunting through the mountainous region of northern Tenerife.

Rescue crews on Friday focused their efforts around the 2,000ft Masca ravine close to Jay's last known location - the desolate Teno Nature Reserve.

The bombshell new image - which shows Jay wading through a packed dance floor - comes after footage of him from the same night.

Video showed him walking through the club with sunglasses propped on his head as music blared out.

It comes as the search for Jay enters its sixth day on the north of the island.

Rescue efforts have turned their focus to an area known locally as "the badlands", scouring a 2,000ft ravine in a remote park.

Pictures from the scene show cops, firefighters, volunteers and sniffer dogs scanning the desolate Teno Nature Reserve, Jay's last known location.

Locals and experts have warned of the treacherous conditions in the area - where the air is "thin", temperatures change rapidly and the mountains drop sharply to the water below.

Jay's mum Debbie today slammed the investigation into her son's disappearance for not allowing British cops to contribute.

On Friday Lancashire Constabulary offered to help Spain's Guardia Civil in their efforts to find the teenager.

But local police rejected the bid and insisted they have the "resources" required to find him.

The mum also told The Guardian she spent eight hours in a police station as they revealed plans for ramping up the rescue effort.
