POLICE investigating the disappearance of Nicola Bulley have been criticised for revealing personal details about her life.

On Wednesday, Lancashire Police said the 45-year-old had experienced some “significant issues with alcohol” which had been “brought on by ongoing struggles with the menopause.” 

This is why the mother-of-two had been classed by police as “vulnerable” and a “high-risk” missing person after her partner Paul Ansell reported her disappearance, senior officers said at a press conference.
