A BBC News presenter looked visibly shaken as she announced an update on the news surrounding the disappearance of beloved TV doctor Michael Mosley.

The world was left devastated following news the This Morning star went missing on a Greek Island on Wednesday. His wife shared a statement to police after her husband failed to return home earlier this week after going for a coastal walk.

Now, a body is said to have been found near the area where Mr Mosley was last spotted after a search was launched for the missing star on Thursday. The body was discovered in a rocky area beside Agia Marina on Symi on Sunday after an extensive search operation led by

emergency workers. It is thought to have been there for several days. His disappearance is said to have raised alarm bells after the doctor remained without his phone while trekking a remote part of the island.

Presenter Martine Croxall appeared emotional as she announced the devastating development in the case. Speaking to the camera, she said: “We have reports from the Island of Symi in Greece that a body has been found in the search for the TV and radio presenter Michael Mosley.

The BBC presenter delivered the news on Sunday (June, 9)

“A rescue worker has been talking to the BBC in the last few minutes. The authorities have been searching for Doctor Mosley in a remote mountainous area of the island.

“He’d gone missing on Wednesday after leaving his wife on the beach and set off for a walk around lunchtime. His wife Doctor Claire Bailey has said he had gone without his phone.”

The This Morning doctor is thought to have fallen around 10 metres (32ft) off a cliff into the sea. The body, which has still not been formally identified, was discovered by search teams with cameras. In an update on Sunday morning, Mayor Eleftherios Papakaloudoukas said:

“During our search, and as we were approaching a cave next to the Agia Marina beach, we were shooting along the coastline with cameras. We saw an object next to a fence on the beach and when we zoomed in we realised that it was [a] body. He had probably fallen from a short cliff of about 10 metres.”

Just yesterday, Dr Mosley’s wife Clare spoke out about her husband’s disappearance. In a moving statement, the first released publicly since her husband went missing, Dr Bailey Mosley said: “It has been three days since Michael left the beach to go for a walk. The longest and most

unbearable days for myself and my children. The search is ongoing and our family are so incredibly grateful to the people of Symi, the Greek authorities and the British Consulate who are working tirelessly to help find Michael. We will not lose hope.”
