The TV favourite, 67, was found dead just 90 seconds from the safety of a beach resort bar on the Greek island of Symi on Sunday.

Dr Mosley disappeared after deciding to walk back to his accommodation after visiting St Nikolas beach with his wife and two friends on Wednesday.
His wife Clare Bailey raised the alarm on Wednesday evening after her husband failed to return to Symi town from what should have been a 20-minute walk.
Dr Mosley is understood to have taken a wrong turn – ending up on a rocky, mountainous trek for nearly two hours in unforgiving 37C heat.
After a four-day search, the health guru’s body was found on Sunday morning.
Now new CCTV has been released by police showing the dad-of-four walking past a house holding his umbrella at 2pm on Wednesday – half an hour after he started his journey back.
It is thought Dr Mosley, known for popularising the 5:2 diet and for his appearances on The One Show and This Morning, died just two hours later from heat exhaustion after getting lost.
Tragically, he was just yards from the safety of beach resort Agia Marina.
Meanwhile, The Sun has seen other CCTV which appeared to show Dr Mosley’s last movements shortly before his death – showing him struggling in Symi’s rocky terrain.
Grainy video showed the TV doc making his way down towards the wall between the hills and beach before sinking to the ground in the spot where his body was found four days later.
The way he was positioned suggests he chose to lie down as his body was found with his legs raised on a rock without any sign of external injuries.
There is no indication that he was hit in the head or that he collapsed while walking, police sources said.
The Sun found Dr Mosley lying in a peaceful prone position.
Rhodes coroner Despina Nethena is said to have found that the condition of the body has made it impossible to determine a cause of death so far.
Further testing is underway and the results are needed before an exact cause of death can be found.
It appears that Dr Mosley, who had walked for more than two hours and was found in a shaded spot by the wall having taken off his rucksack, was following routine medical advice used to prevent fainting.

“Everyone wanted to find him alive. It’s been hard, very hard and no one ever thought we’d ever find him where we did, so near to the beach.”
His heartbroken wife said on Sunday: “He so very nearly made it.”
