A mum has made a heartbreaking plea for her missing 14-year-old daughter who disappeared after heading to the shops to buy orange juice.
The search for Nikita Thorne has entered its fourth day after the teenager left the house in good spirits.
Worried mum Catherine Robinson told the Manchester Evening News : "The last thing she said to me was 'we need orange juice'.
"So I sent her to the shop and she said 'do you want anything?' I said 'no' and that's it. She left in good spirits."
Nikita was last seen on Thursday afternoon at her home on Leominster Drive in Wythenshawe, Manchester.
The bubbly teenager headed out to the shops on nearby Peel Hall Road at 4.40pm but "never returned."
She was wearing coloured leggings, all white plan Nike Air Jordan trainers, black frilly ankle socks, and a black coat with fur trimmings on the bottom, neck, and cuff.
Speaking yesterday, Catherine added: "She left with a face full of makeup which could be off now, she talks like she's from Manchester and she's loud and bubbly.
"I don't know where she is, she could be anywhere, she's been gone for over 48 hours now. There's been no sight of her, nobody has heard from her, police have been to houses, nothing.
"She took her phone. She's either blocked my number, turned her phone off or put it on do not disturb. I'd just want to say to her to come home, you're not in any trouble, I just want you to come home."
Nikita is described as white, 5ft5, medium build with long brown hair and brown eyes.
Pictures show the teen wearing the outfit she was last seen in, and as she would appear both wearing her make-up and bare faced.
The Mirror Online has contacted Greater Manchester Police for comment.
