Just that really. Seems that he went for a walk and hasn't returned.
He's ubiquitous on my various feeds. I've done the 5:2 and the 16:8.
Hope hes OK

^so it seems to fit with him believing he could walk in dangerous unknown terrain, in midday heat^

.... and without his phone!

It does seem rather odd.

I’m another one who immediately thought of greatnan.as I expect many of us did.

I remember Greatnan, was that really 10 years ago? GN friends played a big part alerting others and allowed a search to begin, although the outcome wasn’t what anyone wanted.
I hope Michael Mosley is found soon. Just hearing in the radio it was only a 20 minute walk from beach to his accommodation.

Praying for a positive outcome.
This brings back memories of over 10 years ago when one if ‘ours’ from Gransnet went missing. I often think of her and her family 😢

Yes, Marmight - I remember vividly commenting to a mutual friend who had an email address for Greatnan and her daughter and questioning why nobody had heard from her for a day or two as she was generally in regular contact.
That set the ball rolling and a search operation was initiated where she lived and went walking in the Alps.
We all know the outcome but it is possible that without the “Gransnetters” her body might not have been found for weeks or months.

sad I am praying that they find him safe and well x

I feel very upset. He has taught millions of us so much in his quiet pleasant way. Not looking too good after missing for this length of time

As I said before I don’t watch daytime tv so don’t know the man who by this thread seems very popular but having read a brief synopsis he sounds a real risk taker Injecting venom into his body and eating tapeworms to see the outcome and his extreme 800 calories a day all fit with someone who thinks he is superior to all logic so it seems to fit with him believing he could walk in dangerous unknown terrain, in midday heat

I hope they find him for his and his families sake but looking as if this gamble was a step too far

I cannot believe this. He’s so clever. All fingers crossed that he’s found soon.

JenniferEccles Thu 06-Jun-24 22:26:28

Locals have reportedly said they can’t understand why anyone would choose to hike in the 40deg heat, rather than take a boat back to their accommodation.
His poor wife must be beside herself. Let’s hope the morning brings some good news.

farview Thu 06-Jun-24 22:20:47

Please God let him be okay..worried re him leaving his phone on the beach...Why?...forgot it..or on purpose?...

Calipso Thu 06-Jun-24 22:07:45

Nothing. I have a very bad feeling about this. I can't imagine what his family are going through.

Grandmadinosaur Thu 06-Jun-24 22:05:51

No further news online. I’ve been checking for any updates.

RosiesMaw Thu 06-Jun-24 21:46:53

Any more news?

Redhead56 Thu 06-Jun-24 18:31:06

Just heard the upsetting news of all the Drs on tv he is my favourite. I have his books he has always been admired I hope he is found his family must be beside themselves with worry.

JamesandJon33 Thu 06-Jun-24 18:01:52

Same for me Hollyhock1. Saved my life . I hope they find him well.

Hollyhock1 Thu 06-Jun-24 17:58:48

I hope there's a good outcome for him. He's one of my favourite authors/presenters. His Fast 800 diet is incredible - helped me lose significant weight and reverse my T2.

Delila Thu 06-Jun-24 17:46:36

I know that island. It has a very rough, inhospitable interior, and possibilities for walking are quite limited. Fingers crossed for his safety🤞🏼

Glorianny Thu 06-Jun-24 17:41:01

I do hope he is OK. Symi is a lovely island but very rocky with places where he could easily fall.
Can't stand his programme but I love the way his ideas are parodied on Dead Ringers

Urmstongran Thu 06-Jun-24 17:38:33

He did have T2 diabetes 10 years ago but reversed it permanently by adopting his much publicised eating plan.

Allsorts Thu 06-Jun-24 17:31:09

Isn’t he diabetic? It seems an odd thing to do going out walking without his phone in the sun like that. Really hope he is found safe and well.

Urmstongran Thu 06-Jun-24 17:27:30

Apologies. His name is spelt Mosley.

Pantglas2 Thu 06-Jun-24 17:22:54

Strange to go for a walk in the Greek midday sun if that’s true…

foxie48 Thu 06-Jun-24 17:16:53

I feel for his family. It's very hot there ATM with 30% humidity, they do need to find him quickly. It's really quite a small island.

nanaK54 Thu 06-Jun-24 17:14:10

Oh my word - I had no idea, I do hope that he is found safe and well
