A body has been found in the search for TV and radio presenter Michael Mosley on the Greek island of Symi, a rescue worker has told the BBC.

The 67-year-old, known for his TV programmes and BBC Radio 4’s Just One Thing podcast, vanished on Wednesday while on holiday.

Authorities have been searching for Dr Mosley in a remote mountainous area.

He went missing on Wednesday after leaving his wife on Agios Nikolaos beach to set off on a walk about 13:30 local time (11:30 BST).

His wife later reported Dr Mosley, who was without his phone, missing.

The body – which has yet to be formally identified – was found at a small cliff on a rocky hill north-east of the village of Pedi, near Agia Marina beach.

A police source told BBC News the deceased had been dead “for a number of days”.

Symi’s mayor said the body was found as teams were approaching a cave next to the beach with coastline cameras.
