A body, which has yet to be formally identified, was discovered in the reeds of the Wyre, 22 days after Nicola was reported missing, less than a mile from where she disappeared following a tip-off from walkers.
Nicola’s partner, Paul Ansell, 44, has revealed he and the family are in "agony" as they await word on whether the body is that of Ms Bulley. The family is reportedly "in a lot of pain" and "incredibly heartbroken".
