Dr Alex George: Cutting out alcohol has 'made a huge difference' to my life after a really honest conversation

Dr Alex George rose to fame on the hit reality television show Love Island, before returning to his day job as an A&E doctor in London.

He said he ditched the booze to "see life with clarity and colour" again.
