The 67-year-old has been on television shows like This Morning and The One Show.
A search is underway after Dr. Michael Mosley, best known for his TV appearances, went missing on a Greek island.
An appeal was posted in a local Facebook group after the 67-year-old went missing on Wednesday on Symi, a small island adjoining Rhodes.
Dr. Mosley is well-known for appearing on television shows such as This Morning and the One Show.
In addition, he broadcasts the BBC’s Just One Thing health podcast.
He is also credited with the growing popularity of the 5:2 diet for weight loss, which entails fasting 2 days a week.
The police in the area said the search was “carried out by the fire brigade with the assistance of forces of the Hellenic Police, Civil Protection (a local and regional coordination agency), volunteers and a police dog, while technical means such as drones are also used to locate the missing person.”
6 firefighters, a truck, and a drone crew were dispatched from Rhodes to join the search, arriving at Symi about 2 PM EET.
Dr. Mosley’s agent confirmed his disappearance to the Press Association.
According to reports, his wife sounded the alarm.
Claire Bailey, Dr Michael Mosley’s wife, raised the alarm 6 hours after he failed to return from a walk.
Bailey reported him missing to the Symi police station at 10 AM EET on Thursday morning.
She informed investigators that Mosley had gone out on foot from Agios Nikolaos beach for Pedi and had not been seen since.
Police are considering various possibilities, including if Mosley was involved in an accident, fell, or was bitten by a snake.
The location where the presenter went missing is deemed “difficult, as it is quite rocky,” Symi mayor Lefteris Papakalodoukas told Kathimerini.
Papakalodoukas described the island’s heat on Wednesday as “unbearable, and one could easily faint in such conditions.”
Mosley, according to him, “wanted to walk back from the beach, but that’s a distance of about an hour and a half and there are shortcuts he may have taken.”
The Foreign Office issued the following statement:
“We are supporting the family of a British man who is missing in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities.”
Symi is one of the Dodecanese islands, just a short ferry trip from Rhodes.
Dr. Mosley was a presenter on BBC’s Trust Me, I’m A Doctor.
Dr. Mosley also writes a column for the Daily Mail.
He has lately presented 2 Channel 4 shows, Secrets of Your Big Shop and Who Made Britain Fat?
His shows have received RTS and Emmy awards, and he has previously been nominated “medical journalist of the year” by the British Medical Association.
