Officers believed he then walked towards Mousehold Heath - where police have been searching - via Gilman Road.

Mr Hill is 5ft 7in tall (1.70m) of slim build and with short brown hair.

He was last seen wearing brown chino trousers, a black-checked shirt, a green coat and carrying a yellow rucksack.

'Very worried'

Mr Hill previously worked on the deals team for Mr Lewis's Money Saving Expert website.

"It was always a pleasure to have him in the office," Mr Lewis told BBC Radio Norfolk.

He said Mr Hill left the Money Saving Expert team to train to be a teacher.

"Ant is a lovely human being, we are all very fond of him. We want him to be safe and sound and found.

"He has two daughters and they are all very worried."

Lewis thanked everyone who has been searching for Mr Hill and urged people who live in the area to check their CCTV cameras.
