Dr Michael Mosley: Widow hails ‘outpouring of love’ as she accepts honour on his behalf

Michael Mosley’s widow has thanked fans for an “outpouring of love” as she accepted an honour on his behalf.

The broadcaster and former Daily Mail health guru, 67, died in June in Greece after wandering for two hours in 40C heat.

Dr Clare Bailey Mosley receiving the Hall of Fame Award at the British Podcast Awards on Thursday, said: “I wish more than anything that Michael was here himself to be collecting this.

“Life can be shorter than you imagine, and so if there’s one thing you do today, hug your loved ones, tell them they are loved.

“The outpouring of love to me and my family in the last three months has meant so much to us.”

Married for 37 years after meeting at medical school, the couple have four adult children.

It was one of her first public appearances since her husband’s death as she collected the award for Dr Mosley’s hit BBC podcast Just One Thing.

She said: “Michael knew that Just One Thing had really connected with people. But the last three months have shown us that it wasn’t just the podcast they loved, it was Michael too.”

Other winners at the gala evening in central London included Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall, who picked up the award for current affairs podcast The News Agents.
