The "next phase" for Spanish police is to "get a DNA test," according to GB News reporter Charlie Peters after human remains were found in the area where Jay Slater disappeared.

A spokesman for the Civil Guard confirmed that "the lifeless body of the young man" was discovered in Rural de Teno National Park.

Jay Slater disappeared over a month ago, after attending a music festival.

He was last heard of when he called his friend to say that he was lost, his phone was on one per cent charge and he was thirsty.

The Civil Guard said in a statement that he may have died due to an accidental fall.

Speaking on GB News, host Emily Carver said: "We don't know 100 per cent whether these human remains belong to Jay Slater, the missing teenager.

"The police are saying all indications point to the fact that it is. But we await that confirmation. Presumably, they'll have to do a DNA test."

Peters explained: "Yeah, that will be the next stage to determine the identity of the remains they found.

"Referring to that fall, or the potential of an accident taking place, leading to the recovery of these remains.

"In the statement, they do refer to an inaccessible area. And that points back to the terrain. So many of the operations that we saw at the start of the search were with drones, not with people, because a lot of the terrain they were seeking to cover, the ground they wanted to investigate was inaccessible by foot. And it is a rocky area."

The apprentice bricklayer's phone was last traced to the Masca ravine in a remote, mountainous national park.

Slater - from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire - travelled to an Airbnb in the village of Masca with people he met at the NRG musical festival on Sunday, June 16.

A missing persons organisation has confirmed: "Although formal identification is yet to be carried out, the body was found with Mr Slater’s possessions and clothes.

"A post mortem and forensic enquiries will follow.
