“They are expected to arrive by about 1pm”.
“Have you seen this man? He set off to walk back from St Nick’s at about 1.30pm and failed to make it home.
“His friends are concerned as it is 6 hours since they last him.
“His name is Dr Michael Mosley and he is a familiar face for many British people”.
Reports say it was his wife who raised the alarm after he disappeared.

One local user on social media has claimed Dr Michael Mosley ‘left his cell phone’ at the place he was staying ahead of when he was reported missing.
However, this has not been reported by authorities.
They claimed: “These days it should be pretty difficult to get lost on Symi as so many of the paths have been surfaced and there is a lot more activity even in the most remote areas”.
The Greek island of Symi, part of the Dodecanese group, is near to Rhodes. It’s accessible via a 70-minute ferry.
