Concern is growing for This Morning expert Michael Mosley, who has gone missing while hiking on a Greek island during a holiday with his wife, Dr Claire Bailey.
A local Facebook group shared a photo of Michael asking for help and assistance, with the post reading: “Have you seen this man? He set off to walk back from St Nick’s at about 13.30 and failed to make it home. His friends are concerned as it is six hours since they last saw him. His name is Dr Mike Mosley and he is a familiar face for many British people.”
The post included several updates, including news that the search and rescue team was coming from Athen with drones and sophisticated equipment. It added: “Thank you for your good wishes. I will let you know when he has been found.”
The post included a photo of the Doctor wearing a blue shirt and shorts with a blue cap. Via the post, locals were quick to share advice, with one writing: “It’s hot, he might have fainted on the way – has someone checked the cliffs where they meet the sea?”
The author replied: “His wife and friend had a look this evening but it is difficult to see without a boat.” His agent has since confirmed that a search is currently underway for Dr Mosley.
Michael is a columnist for the Daily Mail and a well-known television personality. He has appeared in several documentaries about diet, such as “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor” and “Michael Mosley: Who Made Britain Fat?” He has also shared his expertise on shows like “The One Show” and “This Morning.”
His fans shared their concern, with one writing: “Hope he’s OK, he is such a good presenter making complicated things easy to understand for the average person.” Another person added: “I do hope he’s found,” while another shared their concern, writing: “Oh my gosh I hope nothing serious has happened here.”
