THE tormented wife of a Scots tourist who fell from a cruise ship has shared her agony amid a frantic search for him.
Liam Jones, 23, is presumed dead after the horror incident in the North Sea during a dream holiday.
He vanished on the MSC Euribia as it sailed from Southampton to Amsterdam, Netherlands, on a seven-day trip for his mum’s birthday.
The social work student, from Dundee, was last seen on deck by his sister on March 16 after texting wife Sophia Mcphee back home complaining he was feeling seasick.
MSC have confirmed a passenger disappeared on the cruise and officers from Hampshire Constabulary boarded the vessel today when it arrived back in the UK to investigate.

Devastated Sophia, 20, says she has been left in the dark since the tragedy.
She told the Daily Record: "I feel so lost. He's just...gone.
"I'm never going to see him again. I'm devastated.
"I have so many questions, and I'm not getting any answers to what's happened."
Sophia last saw Liam on Thursday, March 14, when he travelled from their home in Dundee to Glasgow to meet his family.
They boarded the cruise ship in Southampton the following day.
The Euribia was going to Hamburg, France, Belgium, and Amsterdam before heading back to Southampton on March 22.
Liam's final text message to Sophia was that he was feeling seasick.
She then received a message from his sister to say there had been an accident on board.
Sophia continued: "I was first contacted by his sister on Sunday.
