Michael Mosley, the TV doctor and documentary maker known for his appearances on programmes such as The One Show and This Morning<\/a>, has gone missing while on holiday on the Greek island of Symi.<\/p>\n

The news of Mosley\u2019s disappearance was confirmed by Greek police, who told BBC News<\/a> that he had left his wife Clare on the beach to go for a walk to the centre of the island on Wednesday 5th June. His phone was found at the place where he and his wife were staying, and she reported him missing.<\/p>\n

A search has begun, with an appeal being posted on a local Facebook page, reading: \u201cA search and rescue team is coming from Athens with drones and other more sophisticated equipment to extend the search.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you seen this man? He set off to walk back from St Nick\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 67-year-old broadcaster is known for popularising the fasting 5:2 diet, having learnt about it on an episode of the Horizon documentary series called Eat, Fast and Live Longer.<\/p>\n

He won an Emmy for the BBC science documentary The Human Face, and recently he presented two series for Channel 4 \u2013 Secrets of Your Big Shop and Who Made Britain Fat?.<\/p>\n

Mosley also writes a column for the Daily Mail, and before becoming a doctor he worked for two years in the banking sector, having graduated from Oxford with a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. He and his wife have four children together.<\/p>\n

Greek police told The Guardian<\/a> of their search for Mosley: \u201cWe\u2019ve got every service possible out there looking for him. He was officially reported missing this morning and now there are police, firemen and volunteers involved in the search.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working on the assumption that he might have been affected by the heat, that he might have slipped and fallen perhaps from a height. Right now nothing is being ruled out.\u201d<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
