"We are really grateful for all the help we have received so far, and I want to implore members of the public to please get in touch with us as even the smallest piece of information could prove vital in helping us find Christine.

"Christine has a husband, Glen, a daughter called Lisa, and two siblings in Gary and Gillian - all of whom have been left heartbroken by Christine's disappearance.

"It has now been two weeks since Christine went missing and I want to take this opportunity to urge the public to please get in touch with us if you have any information that could help us find her.

"I also want to speak to Christine directly - if you are reading this, Christine, please reach out to us or your loved ones and let them know you are safe and well.”
