The TV doctor has been remembered as a 'national treasure' who was a 'kind and gentle man' after his death while holidaying on a Greek island was confirmed today
Colleagues of Dr Michael Mosley have led tributes, hailing the TV broadcaster, producer and columnist as a "national treasure" and a "kind and gentle man", after his death while holidaying on a Greek island was confirmed. The 67-year-old TV personality was with friends at Agios Nikolaos beach on Symi on Wednesday before going missing during a walk by himself to the centre of the island.
Ms Spencer said she believes the 5:2 intermittent fasting plan and The Fast Diet, which the pair helped popularise, gave Dr Mosley so much joy "because it benefited so many people". Ahsan said: "I can now appreciate that's a one-off, not everyone is able to make other people feel so at ease with lights and cameras in front of them. But then to forget about all of that and just to focus on the science, on the story, on the message that we're trying to get out, is such a talented man, hugely talented."
Dr Mosley recorded a special edition of his BBC R4 podcast, Just One Thing, on May 25 on stage at the festival with Professor Tanya Byron, a consultant clinical psychologist, broadcaster and author. Celebrity chef and healthy eating campaigner Jamie Oliver praised the work Mosley had done for public health with his broadcasting and research.
