A body has been found in the search for TV and radio presenter Dr Michael Mosley on the Greek island of Symi.

The 67-year-old went missing on Wednesday after setting off on a walk from Agios Nikolaos beach.

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

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

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

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

    Yer I got the update. Just seams odd to go public until they had identified the body. I mean it wasn’t a long wait.
