Dr Clare Bailey, the widow of Dr Michael Mosley, has opened up about her regret a year after his tragic death.
The beloved TV doctor died in June 2024, after he vanished during a walk on the Greek Island of Symi. He was missing for four days before his body was discovered.
Dr Mosley died at age 67, likely due to heatstroke or a “non-identified pathological cause,” an inquest found.
In an emotional new interview, Dr Bailey has revealed she’s still struggling with coming to terms with the loss and her one regret.

“The one thing I really regret was his, was his… what are those shoes called? He wore leather shoes with a kind of high… Hiking boots?” she told The Sunday Times.
“Not quite a hiking boot, but he used to wear the same boots years and years and years. And I threw those away because I kind of thought, you know, I’m on a mission. And I rather regret that.”
She also explained that even a year on she’s still having trouble processing what happened and the reality of his sudden death.
“I don’t think one can make sense of it. The shock is so profound, I don’t know how to,” she said.

They did not stay on the island of Symi, because they felt it was going to be “too much” after the four days they spent searching the island for him.
She explained they did go back to the island on the day and despite not growing up religious they made their way to a monastery and she did find comfort in being there at the time.
Clare revealed one thing that’s also kept her going is focusing on finishing the book they started before his death, titled Eating Together.
