This Morning star Dr Michael Mosley missing on Greek island

Dr Michael Mosley has gone missing on a Greek island, his agent has confirmed.

Known for appearing on television programmes like This Morning and The One Show, he is said to have failed to return from a hiking excursion.

In a local Facebook group, an appeal read: “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 6 hours since they last saw him.

“His name is Dr Mike Mosley and he is a familiar face for many British people.”

The post has shared an image of Dr Mosley wearing a blue cap, blue shirt and a pair of shorts and added that a search and rescue team from Athens were in attendance.

The 67-year-old is credited for the rising popularity of the 5:2 diet for losing weight, which involves two days of fasting each week and he also hosts the Just One thing podcast for the BBC.

One user on a local forum said Dr Mosley “left his phone at his accommodation”.

“These days it should be pretty difficult to get lost on Symi as so many of the paths have been surfaced and there is a lot more activity even in the most remote areas,” they added.
