The final television interview that Dr Michael Mosley gave prior to his tragic death last week is set to air tonight.

The doctor and on-screen regular - who frequently gave his professional advice on the likes of The One Show and This Morning - was found dead in a remote area of the Greek island of Symi last Sunday.

Michael, 67, had been holidaying with his wife Dr Clare Mosley at the time, leaving her at the beach the previous Wednesday to take a walk along the coast.

After he failed to return that evening - having left his phone behind - Clare contacted the authorities, after which a search mission was launched.

After three days of police, firefighters with drones, Greek Red Cross workers, divers, a search dog and a helicopter working together to locate him, his deceased body was found on Sunday morning.

CCTV recovered the day prior showed the father-of-three walking past a beach bar at the Agia Marina, making his way down a rocky slope close to a fence before he falls out of view.

His body was subsequently found beneath the same fence that runs around a bar on the same coastal area the following morning.

Michael's wife later confirmed the identity body, describing her loss as 'devastating', while thanking the authorities in a heartbreaking statement.

"Michael was an adventurous man, it’s part of what made him so special," she told PA News.

It was initially believed that the TV doctor had made an 'incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldn’t be easily seen' by emergency search teams.

Police on the island reportedly believe that Michael died of heat exhaustion after losing consciousness whilst walking in 40+ degree temperatures.

According to The Telegraph, an initial examination of the doctor's body, combined with CCTV footage and forensic evidence from the scene all contribute to the idea that he'd died of natural causes.

In turn, the outlet alleges that police have ruled out foul play or criminality.

Tonight, following the mass of tributes released since news broke of his death, Michael Mosley's final ever television interviews will air in the form of two BBC specials. it was recorded just two days before his passing.

In honour of his lifetime achievements, the broadcaster will initially release a radio show titled There's Only One Michael Mosley, which will air on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds at 11am on Friday.

The Just One Thing special edition - in which Michael will be heard discussing with Professor Paul Bloom the ways in which you can improve your health - was recorded at the Hay Festival on 25 May.

His close friend and fellow doctor Chris van Tulleken will introduce the radio show.
