Renowned British TV and radio presenter Michael Mosley has gone missing while on holiday on the Greek island of Symi. Mosley, known for his engaging style in shows that explore diet, exercise, and medicine, has been a fixture on the airwaves for almost two decades.
With popular series like Trust Me I’m a Doctor, The Truth about Exercise, and Lose a Stone in 21 Days, Mosley often puts himself through the regimes he is testing out. He is also famous for popularizing diets like the 5:2 and the Fast 800, which advocate for intermittent fasting and low-carbohydrate meals.
Millions of viewers know Mosley from his appearances on BBC One’s The One Show and ITV’s This Morning. Additionally, his simple and accessible health tips in his BBC Radio 4 series Just One Thing have attracted 25 million listeners worldwide.
Born in India in 1957, Mosley moved to England at a young age and later retrained as a doctor after working as an investment banker. He joined the BBC as an assistant producer in 1985 and worked his way up to become a well-known presenter.
Mosley’s work has not been without controversy, with some of his weight loss series receiving backlash for promoting extreme calorie restriction. Despite this, his diets have attracted attention for their methods and scientific accuracy.
While Mosley is no longer registered as a medical doctor, his influence in the world of health and wellness remains significant. As the search for him continues, fans and colleagues are hoping for his safe return.
