Speight, 42, went missing on Monday, six days after the inquest into the death of his fiancee, Natasha Collins in January.

The Speight and Collins families said in a statement: “Because of his fragile state of mind, both Mark’s family and Natasha’s family, as well as all his friends, are deeply worried.

“We notified police because of our concerns and we just want to know he is safe. We would urge Mark, if he hears this appeal, to get in touch.”

Family spokeswoman Amanda Stocks read the statement outside the home of Miss Collins’ 57-year-old mother, Carmen Collins.

Speight had been living with her since her daughter’s death.

Ms Stocks said Speight was reported missing after he failed to meet Mrs Collins for coffee in Covent Garden, central London, on Monday.

He found his 31-year-old fiancee with hot water burns in the bath of the London flat they shared after both took cocaine and sleeping tablets.
