Jay Slater's heartbreaking last words to his mother before the teenager fell to his death down a 300ft ravine in Tenerife have been revealed.
The 19-year-old apprentice bricklayer told Debbie Duncan 'I love you mother' for one final time before he went on a night out, she said.
Jay went missing after he attended the NRG Festival rave at Papagayo, in Playa de las Americas, on June 17.
The teenager got separated from his friends and went back to an AirBnB holiday cottage in the remote village of Masca with two British men he met.
He was last seen trying to walk the 10-hour journey home from a night out after missing a bus back.
It sparked a month-long hunt which garnered world-wide attention bu it met a tragic end in the mountainous area of north-west of the island when his body was discovered down a deep and treacherous ravine.
Jay is believed to have lost his footing and fallen while desperately trying to climb through the ravine to try and return to his hotel.
An autopsy later found he suffered broken bones but died of traumatic head injuries, consistent with a fall from height, and his death would have been instantaneous.
Speaking to The Sun, Ms Duncan, 56, from Oswaldtwistle in Lancashire, said she told him 'I love you my boy' before he went on a night out, adding: 'That was the last thing that we said to each other, thank God.'
'I'm just glad that we spoke to each other that night.'

But Ms Duncan later received a devastating call from Jay's pal Lucy Mae Law telling her he was missing the next day on June 17.
Footage of the inhospitable terrain in Tenerife which Jay clambered over shows a series of ridges and rocky outcrops with sheer drops of up to 300ft either side.
The volcanic landscape is considered to be almost inaccessible by people on foot apart from by experienced mountaineers with ropes and climbing equipment.
Some of the gaps between the cliffs are only a few feet wide and hidden in shadows, possibly explaining how the 19-year-old's body was missed by earlier aerial searches.
Ms Duncan had paid for his room at the Paloma Beach apartments in Los Cristianos, where he and friend Bradley Hargreaves planned to stay for four days.
She said he called her and said they were 'chilling' at their rooms and he's burnt his shoulder, so she said to apply Aloe Vera she's given him for the trip.
Speaking about the night out, he told her he wasn't going 'mad' and only planned to have a 'few drinks', his mother said.

She slammed the cruel trolls who posted comments and conspiracy theories on social media when she was searching for her son.
The grieving mother also revealed she was sent thousands of messages, pictures and videos including mock-ups of Jay being tortured - blasting them as 'sick'.
She was sent two sick videos of people, meant to be Jay, being beaten up and one clip was labelled: 'We have your son'.
His funeral was even targeted by online scammers who wrongly claimed people could pay to watch it streaming live.
She reported some messages to the police and vowed to campaign for tougher laws on trolling which 'terrorised' her family.
The Slater family received a torrent of abuse online when they were searching for Jay as well as in the weeks after his tragic death.
Trolls accused them of stealing money from a GoFundMe page they didn't even set up. Jay's friend Lucy-Mae Law started the fundraiser on behalf of the family.
Ms Duncan said even though trolls attacked her about the fundraiser, she had no clue what it was and barely used any of the money, save for some accommodation costs, a search dog team and Jay's repatriation.

She also confirmed she had been speaking to a liaison officer at GoFundMe 'virtually everyday' who knows the 'money has not been misused'.
Ms Duncan and Jay's older brother Zak, 24, said he 'deserved every bit' of the tributes given as hundreds attended his funeral on August 10.
Her 'smiling' boy had a 'good job' and was about to take his driving test upon his return home.
Hundreds of mourners braved the drizzle at Accrington Crematorium Chapel in Lancashire to attend the teenager's funeral.
The farewell was a sea of blue, as this was Jay's favourite colour. People were seen carrying blue flowers, wearing blue wristbands and ribbons, even blue smoke bombs were let off outside.
Jay's body was brought to the chapel by horse-drawn carriage in a blue coffin, with 'JAY' embossed on the side.
His mother and father Warren Slater, 58, both wiped away tears as they led a procession of mourners.
The Slater family has endured conspiracy theories and vitriolic comments online since the teenager went missing - including hoax hostage videos.
Slamming the trolls, Jay's grieving mother said: 'The people saying stuff about him didn't know Jay and they don't know us.
'He hasn't been here to defend himself against all these horrible stories that were going on around the world about him.'
