Brave Love Island star shares eating disorder hell after being fat-shamed at work

Dr Alex George has opened up, revealing he suffered from an eating disorder after two women fat-shamed him in the workplace.

The emergency department doctor who appeared on Love Island back in 2018 took to his Instagram page as the UK marked the end of eating disorder awareness week to share his story.

Alex, 32, says he had never planned to share what happened to him several years ago but recalls the women laughing at him as they "squeezed his tummy" in the hospital canteen.
