Michael Mosley, a prolific presenter of BBC science and lifestyle shows, has reportedly gone missing on the Greek Island of Symi.

The Daily Mail, for whom Mosley works as a columnist, is among the UK publications reporting the doctor’s disappearance after he embarked on a hike on Wednesday.

On the Friends of Symi Facebook group, contributor Adriana Shum wrote that Mosley set off for a walk from St Nicholas Beach at 1.30PM local time yesterday.

In an update on Thursday, Shum said a search and rescue team had been dispatched from Athens equipped with drones and other tools.

Mosley has been presenting shows for the BBC for more than 16 years, often putting his own body on the line for on-screen experiments. He famously helped pioneer the intermittent fasting diet in Eat, Fast And Live Longer.

Mosley hosts the Just One Thing podcast for the BBC and has presented shows for Channel 4, including Michael Mosley: Secrets of Your Big Shop.
