His co-presenter Dr Saleyha Ahsan described him as a "national treasure" and a "hugely talented" man.
Body found in search for missing TV doctor Michael Mosley who vanished on Greek holiday islandShe said Dr Mosley immediately put her "at ease" when she auditioned for the BBC series.
Dr Ahsan said: "I can now appreciate that he's a one-off — not everyone is able to make other people feel so at ease with lights and cameras in front of them.
"But then to forget about all of that and just to focus on the science, on the story, on the message that we're trying to get out . . . such a talented man, hugely talented.
"Michael's a national treasure and so personable." Dr Ahsan also praised Dr Mosley's ability and "passion for explaining science to a wider audience".
MY VIEW
Early yesterday we headed to Agia Marina with British journalists to view the area known as the Abyss caves following fears Dr Michael Mosley may have fallen in there.
What we found was much worse than anything I could have ever imagined.
He had endured more than a two-hour walk in searing temperatures to get to this point.
Sun photographer Simon Jones and I wanted to film a piece explaining the latest development.
But we were interrupted by the bar's manager who was indicating he had seen something on the other side of the barbed wire fence.
I peered over and saw the body of Dr Mosley, with a dropped umbrella nearby.
I froze. It was horrifying and incredibly overwhelming. I was hit by an intense shock and sadness. I felt sick and at several points I was on the verge of tears.
It is among the saddest stories I have worked on.
Immediately I dashed back to the restaurant area where everyone else was to help raise the alarm.
"There's a body over there," I said, as the bar manager got his colleague to phone the police.
It then became chaotic. I was still trying to process what I had just seen.
Staff were running around and trying to keep people away as tourists were coming up trying to see what was going on.
I was here to report on the search for Dr Michael Mosley.
The tragedy of this is that he was just yards from the beach resort where he could have sat and had water.
Search parties were looking so close to this area in the previous days without noticing his exposed body, and even a low-flying helicopter had scoured the terrain. But he was never found.
By Ed Southgate, in Symi
Professor Alice Roberts, who worked with Dr Mosley on several TV projects, posted pictures on X/Twitter of them together.
"She said: "The fragility of life is so shocking. I've known Michael Mosley for many years — as a TV producer specialising in science and medicine. He was the executive producer of my 2009 series Human Journey.
"When he started presenting as well as producing, we made several science programmes together.
"And we met up at Hay Festival just two weeks ago. I can't believe he's gone.
"My thoughts are with his bereaved family."
Doctor-turned-comedian Adam Kay, who wrote the book This Is Going To Hurt, which was later made into a BBC comedy-drama series, said it was "desperately sad" to hear the news.
He said on X: "My thoughts with his family — may his memory be a blessing."
Dr Adam Rutherford, a TV colleague of Dr Mosley's, said: "I am so sad to hear of the death of Michael Mosley.
Lots of people will feel they lost a helpful friend
Nerina Pallot"We worked on various BBC science projects together. He will be missed, and my thoughts go to his family. Life is fragile."
Ultravox singer Midge Ure wrote online: "So sad about Michael Mosley.
"It's amazing how one 'cog in the machine', one life in a world of billions can have an impact on others. I never met him, but we all knew him."
Dr Mosley's dad Bill died aged 74 from diabetes-related complications and Michael himself was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2012.
But he cured himself through intermittent fasting and became a huge advocate of the 5:2 diet.
He wrote several books on dieting.
British singer Nerina Pallot said on X: "Unbearably sad news about Michael Mosley. You may never have met him, but if you lost weight because of one of his books, there will be some part of you that felt indebted to him.
"A lot of people will feel like they lost a helpful friend. Thanks for everything, Dr Mosley."

Health champ of the masses
By Grant Rollings
HE changed the approach to weight loss all over the world with the revolutionary 5:2 diet.
Michael Mosley helped transform the health of millions with his intermittent fasting plan through his groundbreaking shows and books.
Fame, though, had not been Michael's plan.
Born in Calcutta, India, Michael studied philosophy, politics and economics at New College, Oxford, and worked as an investment banker.
But he quit to study medicine, meeting wife Clare on his first day at the Royal Free Hospital in London in 1982.
Michael later changed careers again.
This time he went into TV, working as a producer and then hitting our screens in the 1990s on Trust Me, I'm a Doctor.
In 2002, he was nominated for an Emmy for BBC science documentary The Human Face.
But it was with the invention of the 5:2 diet — drastically reducing your calorie intake on two days a week — that saw his career really take off.
Michael — who reversed his own Type 2 diabetes — sold 1.4million copies of The Fast Diet, which has also been translated into 40 languages.
It was also his gonzo approach to science that earned Michael a legion of fans.
For BBC doc The Wonderful World Of Blood, he ate black pudding made with his own blood and attached a leech to his arm.
He also injected himself with snake venom — but wife Clare stepped in to stop him "infesting myself with pubic lice".
But Michael Mosley's warm TV persona and ability to make complex science relatable meant he was often stopped in the street by people desperate to share their stories of success.
He once said: "It's a fantastic feeling when people tell you that you've helped to turn their lives around. There is a great power in taking control of your life."

'Funny Pages': A24's Outrageous Comedy About The Confusion Of Youth
(Credits: Far Out / A24)
Wed 12 June 2024 22:30, UK
The company may be known for its consistent production line of prestige drama and hard-hitting genre fare, but A24 is equally adept at acquiring the odd laugh-out-loud comedy or two that isn't afraid to push things in the direction of bad taste.
One of the most notable is writer and director Owen Kline's Funny Pages, which applies a very unique perspective to a universal experience. The coming-of-age tale is one of cinema's most favoured and ubiquitous storytelling methods, which means that it's only going to get harder to tell it in a completely fresh and inventive way.
Teenage rebellion is another well-worn staple, and while Daniel Zolghadri's Robert Bleichner definitely follows that path, he does so in a very unusual way. The high school student and aspiring cartoonist is left devastated when his art teacher and erstwhile mentor is suddenly killed after being hit by a car.
Deciding the best way to process any lingering grief or trauma is to break into Mr. Katano's apartment for anything of sentimental value, Robert gets arrested. When he ends up not only avoiding charges but being allowed to keep the possessions he'd pilfered, he informs his parents that instead of finishing his education, he wants to pursue a career in art. To achieve that end, he moves out of the family home and into a basement apartment in New Jersey, where he encounters Matthew Maher's eccentric Wallace.
While that makes it sound predictable and formulaic, Funny Pages is anything but. For one thing, it's heavily intimated that Mr Katano is either planning to sexually abuse Robert during their final encounter or, at the very least, it's implied that he's some sort of pervert or predator.
Robert's roommates are both significantly older than he is, and while it's not quite designed to set alarm bells ringing in the most obvious sense, there's something inherently uncomfortable about a teenager sharing a cramped living space with two grown men who don't always adhere to the notion of boundaries. Of course, it's supposed to be that way, with the tone veering from uplifting optimism to cringe-inducing hilarity thanks to a world populated with well-rounded, richly-written characters who are all fairly despicable in their own way.
Robert isn't a particularly likeable protagonist, either, but again, that's the point. He lashes out at those around him even when they're trying to help, but it's hard not to root for somebody seeking out such a relatable goal in trying to manifest their dreams through sheer bull-headed force of will and the refusal to let setbacks get in the way.
There are verbal tirades, flagrant disregard for whether or not keepsakes make for suitable masturbatory material, car crashes, pens being embedded in skulls, and cloying attempts to earn approval and validation. There is also an undercurrent of nihilism that threatens to engulf Robert the further away he gets from achieving the goals he set out to accomplish in the first place.
That being said, Funny Pages can be so against the idea of being inspirational that it becomes inspirational by default, an impressive feat from writer and director Kline. It's got an unpredictable, increasingly paranoid, and unstable central double act and willingly takes a sledgehammer to cliché but remains utterly endearing throughout. It's a very tough tightrope to walk, but there's never any danger of the film falling off.
