Peter Andre has revealed his devastation over the death of Michael Mosley.
Dr. Mosley, 67, was found dead near a gate at the Agia Marina resort in Crete on Sunday, June 9, just 80 meters from a beach bar and security.
Peter and Dr. Mosley appeared together on ITV show The Junk Food Experiment and the singer said he was ‘shocked’ when he heard of his death.
In his new magazine column, Peter wrote: ‘I was so sad to hear about Dr Mosley’s death – he was such a lovely man. I worked with Michael on The Junk Food Experiment and he couldn’t have been nicer to me.
‘What happened to him is devastating and so shocking. I really feel for his family and can’t imagine how his wife and children feel. My thoughts and love go out to them.’

The Junk Food Experiemnt aired in 2019 and, along with Peter, also featured The Chase’s Shaun Wallace, former MP Nadine Dorries, Made In Chelsea’s Hugo Taylor and Coronation Street star Hayley Tammadon.
The celebrities had to eat only Britain’s three favorite fast food items – pizza, fried chicken and burgers – for three weeks to see what impact this had on them.
The first post-mortem examination of Dr. Mosley, conducted by Rhodes coroner Despina Nethena, showed there was no third party involvement and no ‘criminal’ element involved – but a definitive cause of death has yet to be determined.
Police and the coroner are also examining footage from the restaurant, seen by MailOnline, which shows Dr. Mosley wandered around in a confused state for 20 minutes before collapsing on Wednesday, June 5.
The temperature at the time was 40 degrees Celsius and the excessive heat is believed to have played a role in his death.
In the video, he appears to pause at the perimeter wall, resting a hand on it, before losing his balance and disappearing from view.
MailOnline followed the route and it should have only taken five minutes, but Dr. Mosley appeared to wander for twenty minutes before disappearing from view.
According to the coroner, Dr. died. Mosley around 4pm the day he disappeared.

Dr. Mosley, 67, was found dead through a gate at the Agia Marina resort on Sunday, June 9, just 80 meters from a beach bar and security facilities.
Dr. Mosley was found by an Agia Marina restaurant manager around 10:30 am on June 9.
One employee said: ‘How we missed him is a mystery. He was in distress and suffering from exhaustion, but no one saw him. This is heartbreaking.’
The doctor was captured on CCTV at a beachside restaurant stumbling around for several minutes before the 67-year-old gingerly descended a slope near a fence before falling out of sight.
It is then thought he continued around the fence before falling where his body was found face up, just 80 meters from a holiday resort.
Ilias Tsavaris, 38, said he was alerted by the restaurant’s owners who received a call from the mayor of Symi.
‘The mayor had seen something special from a water taxi and I was told to go there and see it. As I got closer, I saw something glinting in the sun: his watch. As I got closer, I knew it was him. Awful.’
Dr. Michael Mosley died two and a half hours after meeting his wife Dr. Claire had left Bailey (pictured together)
CCTV footage from the restaurant shows a customer, who may have heard a cry for help, walking near where Dr Mosley lay. Sources said Dr Mosley’s wife was not expected to arrive at the scene but was likely to return to Britain from Rhodes, an hour’s boat ride from Symi.
Police sources ruled out foul play but said it was not possible at this stage to determine how he died. A coroner’s spokesman said: ‘It appears it was a fall but we need to establish whether he had a medical episode before that and that will take time.’
Dr.’s wife Mosley paid an emotional tribute to her “amazing, funny, kind and brilliant” husband after his body was found.
Sophie Laurimore, director of The Soho Agency, which represented Dr Michael Mosley, described him as a ‘wise, wonderful and lovely man’.
She said: “It is with such deep sadness that we say goodbye to our dear friend and client, the wise, wonderful and sweet man, Michael Mosley.
“Michael loved what he did and found it a pleasure and privilege to work with his colleagues in TV, radio, publishing and at his company, The Fast 800.
“He was deeply grateful for the public’s receptiveness to the ideas he had the opportunity to share and to the many scientists whose work he had the honor of helping to popularize.
“Our hearts are with Clare and the children. Michael was unique. The work he did was important. We will miss him terribly.’
