The celebrity chef, who has long advocated healthy eating, praised Mosley for his contributions to public health in an Instagram post. Oliver wrote: “What a wonderfully sweet, kind and gentle man he was. He did such a lot of good for public health with his TV shows and research. He was a curious investigator, producer and presenter and often changed the conversation around many public health issues for the better. He will be sadly missed.”
