What we know as Dr Michael Mosley goes missing on Greek island

TV's Dr Michael Mosley has vanished on Greek island, Symi.

Dr Mosley, 67, is famed for his diet advice including the 5:2 Diet. He has a huge TV presence, having made many appearances on TV shows including This Morning and The One Show.

As one of Britain's most recognisable doctors, he has fronted Channel 4 shows Secrets Of Your Big Shop and Who Made Britain Fat? Previously, he has also presented BBC show Trust Me, I'm A Doctor.

We know that it is the third day of the search to try locate missing Dr Mosley. More men are joining the search on Friday morning, police said, as it was paused overnight. Police and firefighters are working together on the search of the island, including the use of drones and a helicopter deployed on Thursday at 7pm.

The Secrets Of Your Big Shop star set off to head home from St Nicholas Beach on Symi at 1.30pm on Wednesday but he failed to return.

Mayor of Symi Eleftherios Papakalodoukas revealed firefighters believe its "impossible" he is still there. He told the BBC: "It is a very small, controlled area, full of people. So, if something happened to him there, we would have found him by now."

Concerns are growing, sparking an appeal on Facebook which includes a picture of him closing his rucksack while on holiday.

In the photograph shared on the local Facebook group, the TV medic was wearing a blue polo shirt matched with cut-off shorts and a baseball cap. He was seen shutting his rucksack while on the beach on the Greek island.

The UK Foreign Office have shared an update on the diet expert. It read: "We are supporting the family of a British man who is missing in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities."

Jeremy Vine, Martin Lewis and Alex Jones led the stars who have expressed their concerns. MoneySavingExpert.com founder Lewis wrote on X: "Feeling disturbed about the news about Dr Michael Mosley. I hope he's ok."

We don't know where Dr Mosley is after he went on a coastal walk. When he didn't return, his 62-year-old wife Dr Clare Bailey called the police sparking the search. Friends and family are concerned for the missing TV star. An appeal on the local Facebook group has brought this to the attention of the news.

In a local Facebook group, an appeal read: "A search and rescue team is coming from Athens with drones and other more sophisticated equipment to extend the search. They are expected to arrive by about 1 pm."

It added: "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."

It's not known what has happened to the TV doctor. There are concerns that Dr Mosley could have been injured, slipped or been bitten by a snake.

Senior police spokesman Constantina Dimoglidou told MailOnline: "He was at the beach of Ag. Nikolas with another couple when he decided to go back to his home in the area of Pedi of Symi. It was around 1.30pm and he forgot his phone at the beach. Any and every attempt to track him down has not produced any result.

"We have now asked the fire brigade to assist in the operation in the case that he may have slipped, tripped, fallen, even bitten by a snake, remaining injured somewhere.’

"There is just no trace of him. None whatsoever and that means that for us at least, every potential scenario is open and being investigated."

His agent has confirmed his disappearance in conversation with PA Media. Dr Mosley's wife, who is also a GP and columnist for the Daily Mail, has yet to make a public comment on her husband's disappearance.

Yahoo has reached out to Dr Michael Mosley's representatives for further comment.

The couple have four children together: Kate, Alex, Jack and Daniel. They have been happily married since they tied the knot in 1987. The couple fell for each other when they met on the first day of medical school.

Previously, Dr Mosley spoke of his adoration for his wife. He told the Sydney Herald: "I met my wife, Clare, on my first day at medical school at the Royal Free Hospital in London. She was 18 and I was 23. We got married in 1987."

He added in 2019: "In our relationship, I tend to have big ideas and she puts them into practice. She writes the recipes in my books and has long been interested in food and its impact on our health. She is a practising GP and loves her work."
