“It's hard to say how long he survived there, but he came a very long way. He was close to where he wanted to get to.”

The television doctor left his wife Clare and her friends on the beach in Saint-Nicolas on Wednesday. Her body was discovered about three miles from the beach, a journey that would have taken her about an hour.

It has been reported that Dr Mosley's children – Alex, Jack, Dan and Kate – were unfortunately just 350 feet from where the body was discovered today when they retraced their father's footsteps SATURDAY. They had flown to the island on Saturday to join the vast search for their father.

It is understood the This Morning star went around the perimeter of a beach bar in Agia Marina and headed towards the sea. Her body was found just meters from the shore.

Dr Mosley was last seen on CCTV at 1.30pm on Wednesday afternoon, heading towards the village of Pedi. The last sighting took place in a house at the bottom of Pedi Bay towards Agia Marina. The temperature at the time was around 37°C.
