'Michael liked his chicken nuggets'

Dr Clare Bailey Mosley.

"I t really happened! I was sitting at the desk where I am now, and I stood up. I was rummaging through the books at the back of the shelves and there was just this loud clunk," says Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, remembering the day she wrote the introduction to her new cookbook, The Fast 800 Favourites.

"It was one of the chocolate bars he'd asked me to hide. It was a message from another world really."

She is talking about her late husband, the celebrated TV presenter, 5:2 diet and fasting pioneer and science writer Michael Mosley, who might have been committed to improving the nation's metabolic health, but also had quite the sweet tooth.
