The One Show issues 'sad' message about Dr Michael Mosley after tragic death

The One Show started its week of new shows by addressing the death of former reporter Dr Michael Mosley after he was found dead while on holiday. The TV doctor, known for his appearances on This Morning and BBC Radio 4's Just One Thing, went missing on the island of Symi where he was holidaying with his wife, Dr Clare Bailey.

The 67-year-old vanished after setting off for a walk alone at around 1.30pm after leaving his wife and friends at Agios Nikolaos beach last Wednesday (June 5). Dr Clare Bailey Mosley has since confirmed a body discovered on Sunday morning (June 9) in a rocky area near Agia Marina beach on the Greek island of Symi was that of her husband, describing the loss as "devastating".

His former colleagues on the BBC show addressed the news on Monday's episode (June 10), which was hosted by Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas. Alex issued a statement at the start of the episode, prior to tributes from other former colleagues.
