Jeremy Vine issues heartbreaking plea for Michael Mosley as he fears for wife Clare

Jeremy Vine, the well-known TV personality, is among those anxiously awaiting news about Michael Mosley, as concerns grow for his wife Clare.

The One Show and This Morning star, who has made a name for himself as a health expert, disappeared while on holiday on the Greek island of Symi, part of the Dodecanese island group.

Alarm bells were raised by his spouse on Thursday, June 6, when he failed to return from a walk he had embarked on from St Nikolas Beach the previous afternoon.

A formal search and rescue operation was initiated, leaving fans of the 67-year-old TV doctor on tenterhooks.

Jeremy confessed on X that he was keeping both Clare and Dr Mosley's family, which includes four children, in his thoughts as the agonising wait for news continues.

"I'm praying this lovely man is found and thinking of Clare and the whole Mosley family," the BBC Radio lunchtime host wrote on social media, prompting one follower to reply: "Seems a very genuine bloke. Hope he's OK."

Jeremy Vine wasn't the only celebrity to voice concern over Dr Mosley's disappearance.

Good Morning Britain star Martin Lewis also posted a message on X on Thursday, shortly after learning of the harrowing news.

He confessed he was "disturbed" as he wrote: "Feeling disturbed about the news about Dr Michael Mosley. I hope he's ok."

Many other fans of Dr Mosley echoed his sentiments, all hoping for the best.

One individual expressed their concern, stating: "Oh goodness. My heart hurts with this news. I so love listening to Michael Mosley he brings hope to those who gave up. I'm not a big praying person only in a very private tiny way. Praying for him to return safely to his family."

Alex Jones, the host of The One Show, shared her own heartfelt message on Thursday's episode, telling viewers: "As you'll have heard in the news, lots of us are concerned to hear that our friend Michael Mosley has gone missing whilst on holiday in Greece."

She continued: "Our thoughts are very much with his wife Clare and the rest of his family at this worrying time. We hope for more positive news."

The police, who were reportedly informed about the disappearance on Wednesday, along with firefighters, have been utilising drones in a desperate bid to find Dr Mosley. A helicopter was also dispatched to aid in the search, which resumed this Friday.

The search efforts are concentrated on the Pedi area of Symi island, where a woman reported seeing him. However, the Mayor of Symi, Eleftherios Papakalodoukas, stated that firefighters had told him it was "impossible" Dr Mosley was still there.

"It is a very small, controlled area, full of people. So, if something happened to him there, we would have found him by now", he informed the BBC.
