BBC Morning Live presenters Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton became emotional as they started off Monday's show with a tribute to Dr Michael Mosley . The broadcasters expressed their shock over the death of the doctor, who appeared on the breakfast show alongside his wife Dr Clare Bailey Mosley on April 29. Mr Mosley was found on the Greek island of Symi on Sunday (June 9).
His body was discovered in a secluded area behind a wall and fence that encloses the Agia Marina resort. It is suspected that he may have strayed from a rocky path and succumbed to the intense heat or suffered a fall on the rough terrain. CCTV footage has captured the moment Dr Mosley appears to stumble near the location where his body was later discovered, with his widow stating he "very nearly made it" to safety.
At the time of his discovery, Mr Mosley still had the purple umbrella he had taken with him. Opening Morning Live on Monday, Gethin said the news "didn't feel real" as he paid tribute to Michael. He said: "We are reacting to the incredibly sad news that presenter Michael Mosley has died aged 67 after going missing whilst on holiday in Greece.
It's just really hard to believe that it was here actually, he was sitting right here on Morning Live not so long ago giving his brilliant advice, as he always does, he was here with his wonderful wife Dr Clare Bailey Mosley too, it just doesn't feel real at all, does it" READ MORE: GMB's Susanna Reid holds back tears as she pays tribute to Dr Michael Mosley .
