The BBC's health series Just One Thing is set to return with three presenters replacing the late Dr. Michael Mosley, according to a report in The Sun. The newspaper said newsreader Clive Myrie, The One Show host Roman Kemp and broadcaster Zoe Ball will each front four episodes of the programme, which will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Just One Thing began as a Radio 4 podcast in which Mosley encouraged listeners to adopt simple, evidence-based changes to improve physical and mental wellbeing. The show, which Mosley recorded from a wardrobe during COVID-19 lockdowns, became one of his most widely heard projects. Only two television episodes of the new format were completed before Mosley’s death in June.
According to the report, the new series will again focus on small, practical changes — from how laughter may support brain health to the possible stamina benefits of beetroot and the effects of gardening on gut health. Each presenter is said to travel across the United Kingdom to meet people and communities testing those approaches.
The BBC has not issued a formal comment on the reported presenting line-up. All episodes of the original podcast remain available on BBC Sounds, and the television episodes are scheduled for broadcast on BBC One and streaming on BBC iPlayer, the report said.
Mosley, a physician, television presenter and newspaper columnist, was found dead on the Greek island of Symi in June. He was 67. A coroner later concluded his death was most likely the result of heatstroke. Authorities said Mosley had walked from a beach area alone without a mobile phone and with a single bottle of water; his body was discovered near a fence at a resort.
His widow, Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley, and the couple’s four children have spoken publicly about their grief. Clare Mosley returned to the Greek island with their children on the anniversary of his death, telling The Sunday Times that the visit had offered a surprising measure of comfort amid continuing bereavement.
Mosley built a substantial public profile through television programmes and newspaper columns that often promoted dietary approaches, including the 5:2 diet, and through accessible science communication about sleep, fasting and exercise. Just One Thing, launched as a podcast during the pandemic, emphasized short, manageable habits — a formula producers said resonated with a broad audience.
Production teams for short-form, lifestyle and health series often use multiple presenters to cover regional stories and a variety of subjects; the reported arrangement for Just One Thing would have each presenter leading a block of episodes. The Sun’s account suggests the BBC plans to preserve the series’ premise of testing single practical interventions while expanding its presenting team.
Further details about broadcast dates, episode topics and official BBC confirmation of the presenting lineup were not available at the time of publication.
