The ‘desperate’ search for TV doctor Michael Mosley becomes a ‘race against time’ as his worried family jets off to Greek island.
Rescuers have ramped up their efforts to focus on an “uncharted” mountain path in attempts to locate the health expert who often features on The One Show and This Morning.
The respected 67-year-old doctor had divers, coastguards and fishermen searching for him after he went missing on his walk while away on holiday in Greek Island, Symi.

Search experts are now thinking that the health guru could have taken a wrong turn on his walk back to his friend’s digs after reviewing footage of his last confirmed sightings on Wednesday (5 June).
They believe that it is now less likely that Dr Mosley fell into the water as his last movements suggest he diverted from the coastal path he was walking on.
Efforts are now being focused on the possible ‘wrong turn that leads to a treacherous’ strip of mountain that one rescuer penned as “not easy to follow.”
One rescuer added it would take a generally fit young person at least three hours to get to his destination.
She explained: “The path is not easy to follow, if he took a wrong turn, he would be lost. He could be anywhere. It is a race against time.”
Wife Dr Clare Bailey first raised alarm with emergency services after her husband mysteriously disappeared on his walk near St Nicholas Beach.
Now Dr Mosley’s four children have flown out in hopes they can help find their missing father who was last seen walking past a café less than half an hour after notifying his wife, Dr Clare Bailey, of his plans to stroll back.
He was wearing blue shirt, hat and shorts and was carrying a purple umbrella to shade himself from the sun.
A police official announced that the treacherous mountain possibility is the first “solid lead” that the rescue team have.
They believe that Dr Mosley “lost his way and ended up in this windy, uncharted path that links the two regions of Pedi and [Symi town], winding through a craggy mountain.”
The search was called off at 8pm Greek time as dusk fell and will resume this morning (Saturday, June 8).
