Reports on social media last night suggesting that Finnegan had been found appear, unfortunately, to be premature.

Finnegan, who originally hails from Dublin but has been in living in London, where he works as a community coach for London Irish, has been missing since Wednesday since disappearing from his home in Greenwich.

Mick appeared in the Sky TV series, School of Hard Knocks, in 2012.

Police in Kent have been looking for Finnegan since receiving a call from a member of the public in the early hours of Thursday morning, November 27, the same day he posted a series of chilling and disturbing messages from his Twitter account.

Reports on social media last night appeared to suggest that Finnegan had been found, but Kent Police confirmed that the search is ongoing and issued further appeals for help last night.

A campaign has also been launched to help find Mick on Twitter with the hashtag #FindMickFinn.
