Who is Michael Mosley?
Michael is no stranger to the limelight. He is a British television journalist, producer, and presenter, as well as a former doctor.
He was born in India and attended boarding school in England from the age of seven. He then went on to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics at New College, Oxford.
He worked as a banker in London before deciding to make a career change, and study medicine, with the intention of becoming a psychiatrist. But after becoming disillusioned with the profession he decided to get into television.
Michael has worked for the BBC since 1985. He perhaps became best known for his appearances on the One Show, as well as programmes on biology and medicine.
What is the star's net worth?
Net worth is the value of the assets a person or owns, minus the liabilities they owe. This includes things like houses, cars, and savings.
A number of figures have been floated for the star's worth. According to numerous sources, Michael is worth between $3 and $5 million - which is around £2.3 million to £3.9 million.
Is he a real doctor?
Michael was a trained medical professional and possesses the qualifications needed to comment on medical topics. He studied medicine at the Royal Free Hospital Medical School, which is now part of UCL Medical School.
However, he is no longer a registered doctor. All doctors in the UK must have registration with a licence to practise medicine.
