Stars of This Morning have paid their respects and shared fond memories of working alongside the late TV doctor Michael Mosley.
Tragically, Mosley was confirmed as deceased yesterday (9 June) after his body was found on the Greek Island of Symi.
Mosley, 67, was revered for his knowledge surrounding health and weight and best known to many for his work on This Morning as well as The One Show, among others.

Mosley went missing while on holiday in Greece.
His wife, Dr Clare Bailey, raise the alarm at 7.30pm local time on 5 June regarding her husband's whereabouts when he failed to return after setting off alone for a walk at around 1:30pm.
During the frantic search, CCTV images were released that showed him a mere half an hour after when he was thought to have gone missing.

It is now known that he collapsed during the walk and died.
A beach restaurant close to where Mosley's body was discovered captured footage of him appearing unsteady on his feet for a number of minutes.
He was then seen making his way down a slope close to a perimeter fence before vanishing from view.
Mosley was found beneath a fence that runs around a bar on the Agia Marino yesterday morning.

Following the heartbreaking confirmation that Mosley had lost his life, presenter of This Morning Ben Shephard has spoken out - with others joining in.
Shephard began: "Clearly from all our viewers and their messages as well, he will be sorely missed, we've very fond of the memories we share."
Regular guest Gyles Brandreth added: "He had an impact on millions of people.
"Even when I broke my arm a couple of years ago, he said to me, 'you've reached that age when you're starting to fall over'.

"He told me when I brush my teeth, stand on one leg, and I do it every morning and every night.

She said: "I don't know quite where to begin with this. It's devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband. We had an incredibly lucky life together.
"We loved each other very much and were so happy together. I am incredibly proud of our children, their resilience and support over the past days.
"My family and I have been hugely comforted by the outpouring of love from people from around the world. It's clear that Michael meant a huge amount to so many of you.

"We're taking comfort in the fact that he so very nearly made it. He did an incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldn’t be easily seen by the extensive search team."
Dr Clare Bailey continued: "Michael was an adventurous man, it's part of what made him so special. We are so grateful to the extraordinary people on Symi who have worked tirelessly to help find him. Some of these people on the island, who hadn't even heard of Michael, worked from dawn till dusk unasked. We're also very grateful to the press who have dealt with us with great respect.
"I feel so lucky to have our children and my amazing friends. Most of all, I feel so lucky to have had this life with Michael. Thank you all."
