“PLEASED MAN” As touching tributes pour in for TV doctor Michael Mosley, they show how he changed millions of lives for the better.
Jamie Oliver, a celebrity chef, led tributes to TV doctor Michael Mosley, whose work was praised for making the lives of millions of dieters better.
Yesterday, the body of Dr. Mosley, 67, was found on the Greek island of Symi, four days after his wife Clare said he was missing.
Jamie, 49, who stars on Naked Chef, said the news was “traumatizing” and that he was a “wonderfully sweet, kind, and gentle man.”
Father of four Dr. Mosley was a tireless advocate for health and diet, and he was a regular guest on The One Show and This Morning.
Jamie wrote on Instagram, “His TV shows and research did a lot of good for public health.”
“He was an interesting reporter, producer, and host who often changed the way people talked about public health issues for the better.” We will miss him very much. Sending love and thoughts to Clare and his whole family.
Anthea Turner, 64, who used to host Blue Peter and GMTV, said, “This was the terrible news we all feared.”
“He spent his whole life telling us all to make healthy choices. He did it with such passion and a cheeky smile on his face.”
“Everyone should live a longer, better, and more satisfying life,”
“I’ll miss him and his friends on Symi—his family will be broken.”
Trust Me, I’m A Doctor was one of the TV medic’s shows.
Dr. Saleyha Ahsan, who was his co-host, called him a “national treasure” and a “hugely talented” man.
She said that Dr. Mosley put her “at ease” right away when she tried out for the BBC show.
Dr. Ahsan said, “I can now see that he’s an exception—not everyone can make people feel so comfortable with cameras and lights on them.”
He was so very talented that he could forget about everything else and just focus on the science, the story, and the message we were trying to get across.
“Michael is a national treasure and a great person.” Dr. Ahsan also said nice things about Dr. Mosley’s skills and “passion for explaining science to a wider audience.”
Professor Alice Roberts put up pictures of Dr. Mosley and herself on X/Twitter. The two of them worked together on a number of TV projects.
“”The frailty of life is so shocking,” she said. Since many years ago, Michael Mosley and I worked together as a TV producer for science and medicine shows. He was in charge of producing my show Human Journey in 2009.
“We worked together on a number of science shows after he started hosting as well as producing.”
“And we saw each other at Hay Festival not long ago.” I feel awful that he’s gone.
“My thoughts are with his family during this sad time.”
The book This Is Going To Hurt, which was later turned into a BBC comedy-drama series, was written by doctor-turned-comedian Adam Kay. He said it was “desperately sad” to hear the news.
He said on X, “My thoughts are with his family. May his memory be a blessing.”
Dr. Adam Rutherford, who worked with Dr. Mosley on TV, said, “I am so sad to hear of Michael Mosley’s death.”
“We worked together on a number of BBC science projects.” I’m sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with his family. Life is not stable.
Midge Ure, singer for Ultravox, wrote online, “So sad about Michael Mosley.”
“One “cog in the machine,” or one life in a world of billions, can have an effect on other lives. We all knew him, but I never met him.
Bill Mosley, Dr. Mosley’s dad, died at age 74 from complications related to diabetes. In 2012, Michael Mosley was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
But he got better by fasting every so often, and he became a big supporter of the 5:2 diet.
He wrote a number of books about weight loss.
Nerina Pallot, a British singer, said on X, “Really sad news about Michael Mosley.” One of his books may have helped you lose weight, but you may not have met him. If it did, you will feel grateful to him.
“Many people will feel like they lost a friend who was there for them.” Thanks for everything, Dr. Mosley.
