BBC's Just One Thing in major overhaul after Dr Michael Mosley's death

The BBC has made a major change to Just One Thing after Dr Michael Mosley's death. The medic, who went missing in June last year and was found dead days later in a rocky area of Agia Marina at the age of 67, was the face of the podcast-turned-TV series prior to his death, but it is now being brought back.

However, viewers will now tune in to find three famous faces hosting the programme, which initially saw Mosley discuss various health notions and give out lifestyle tips.

Now at the helm of the programme are Roman Kemp, who regularly fronts The One Show for the broadcaster, alongside Zoe Ball, who famously left her Radio 2 show towards the end last year. They will be joined by newsreader Clive Myrie, who has been at the BBC for a number of years and took over from John Humphrys as the host of Mastermind, as well as its celebrity spin-off, in 2021.

But viewers can expect the new run of episodes to 'build on the legacy' of the TV favourite, who made regular appearances on shows like Lorraine, and Loose Women over the course of his career, and also fronted Trust Me, I'm A Doctorfrom 2013 until 2020.

Lindsay Bradbury, commissioner for BBC Daytime said: “This new series of Just One Thing builds on the legacy of the brilliance of Michael. It will offer very surprising takeaway tips on how we can try and improve our lives with minimum input for maximum rewards.”

In the programme, Dr Mosley explored the theory was that making one simple life change can be of great benefit to overall wellbeing, and each episode explored a different tip. One episode was based on the idea that volunteering could lower cholesterol, whilst another analysed the notion that eating more slowly could lower blood sugars.

For Dr Mosley, the whole tragedy of his death unfolded when he was on holiday with his wife, Clare. The acclaimed TV doctor went on a walk alone in unforgiving terrain before he disappeared. For four days and nights, search parties scoured the island before his body was found.

Michael had slipped and fallen on a rocky path within two hours of leaving his wife on the beach, and died of suspected heatstroke. It's something that his wife Clare - who was married to Michael for 37 years - is still struggling to come to terms with. And on top of the loss of her beloved husband, she has also been faced with three other family tragedies since that fateful day.

Since flying home from Greece last June, Clare has lost her father as well as her uncle, and she has also lost her stepsister, who was only in her early forties.

"[It was] a terrible year that started with the dog dying," she told The Sunday Times. "I don't think one can make sense of it. The shock is so profound, I don't know how to."

She further explained that the fact that no one is to blame for Michael's death is a great blessing. "It was so random. There was nothing to be angry about. And how lucky is that? Isn't that incredible? If somebody was to blame, it would have been very different," she said.

"The worst has happened, but there are so many permutations in which it could have been so much worse. He could not have been found. Or one of the boys could have found him, and that would have been devastating".

Clare shared that she and her four children - Alex, 35, Jack, 33, Dan, 31, and Kate, 26 - returned to Greece to mark the first anniversary of Michael's death, though the family decided not to stay on Symi.
