Telly doc Michael Mosley has sparked a wave of concern among his followers after vanishing on a Greek island, prompting a full-scale search and rescue mission.
The brainy telly favourite, known for dishing out health tips on The One Show and This Morning, as well as penning columns for the Daily Mail, has gone AWOL in Symi, part of the scenic Dodecanese Islands. He’s also the brains behind several documentaries focusing on diet and exercise.
Before he disappeared, Michael had been chatting about his Radio 4 programme Just One Thing on social media just the day before. But now, his worried fans are flooding the comments with messages of hope.

And a third fan also shared that they are praying for his welfare. They wrote: “Praying you are found safe and well.”
In what is now his last update on X – the platform that took over from Twitter – Michael was seen replying to a fan’s message about the health benefits of cold showers, mentioning his wife in the conversation. The fan had reached out, sharing: “Hi Michael hope you read this.
“Thank you so much. I decided to take cold showers after listening to your episode about the benefits of it. Now I’ve had a rotator cuff injury for a while and had to take at least 2 ibuprofen daily. A week after the cold showers, I haven’t had to.”

In a Twitter exchange, Michael responded to a fan’s comment saying: “Delighted to hear it.. while reading your tweet (or is it your X) I had a bad moment when I thought you were going to say you got a rotator cuff injury after falling in the shower…”
Another fan then chimed in: “Heard the Dead Ringers parody? I’d see it as an honour! ” To which Michael retorted: “I have… I’m not convinced I really sound like that but my wife Clare says it is spot on.”
It has emerged that Dr Mosley’s wife, Dr Clare Bailey, 62, raised the alarm with emergency services after her husband disappeared during a coastal walk near St Nicholas Beach on Wednesday. Senior Police Spokesman Constantina Dimoglidou revealed that despite extensive searches starting early this morning, there has been no sign of the missing man.

He explained: “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.”
