He and his wife were on a publicity tour in island of Symi, and Dr Mosley was last seen setting off on a hike along St Nicholas Beach at 1.30pm on Wednesday.

Authorities reported they have found “no trace whatsoever” of the TV medical expert so far.

Representatives for Dr Mosley have expressed their deep concern, and several friends and colleagues including long term pal Jeremy Vine sent thoughts and prayers to the family.

Local expert George Evgenidis has now weighed in on the tragedy with a chilling theory for why Dr Mosley is still yet to be found.

The anchor of Greece's Star TV channel exclusively told Express.co.uk: “There is no official information or update on the course of the search.

“However, according to information a scenario that is being examined is that he fell off a rock and then into the sea.

“This means that the search and rescue operations will be more complex than if he had an accident on the ground.”

A more extensive search for Dr Mosley could be underway soon if this theory is correct, with police already promising "more men" to help with the operation.

Other predictions for his disappearance included Senior Police Spokesman Constantina Dimoglidou’s speculation that he had “slipped, tripped, fallen, even bitten by a snake, remaining injured somewhere”.

While the mayor of Symi, Eleftherios Papakalodoukas, suggested Dr Mosley might have fainted from dehydration as temperatures soared to 35C.

As the TV doctor has still yet to be found on land, authorities may now extend the search for Dr Mosley to the surrounding ocean.

"Fortunately, or unfortunately, this accident happened on a small island and in small places, people talk,” Mr Evgenidis continued.

“However, the scenarios that are discussed among locals most of the times have little relation with the actual circumstances. For example, there is an eyewitness statement that he was seen in a bus stop on the island.

“As far as I understand, the authorities are looking more into the scenario that he fell off the cliff and then into the sea."
