Dr Alex George takes swipe at fellow Love Islanders as he admits mental burnout

Dr Alex George, a former Love Islander turned mental health campaigner, has taken a swipe at his fellow Love Islanders. While revealing why he left his role as a A&E doctor, Alex spoke about how he only works with brands he believes in.

Dr Alex, who appeared in the 2018 series of Love Island and was unlucky in love, has now left his role as a A&E doctor to focus solely on his mental health campaigns. In February 2021 Dr Alex was made Youth Mental Health Ambassador by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, after the tragic death of his younger brother Llyr who took his own life.

At the time Dr Alex was still working as a A&E doctor in a hospital in London and ended up leaving his role as he became burnt out. Dr Alex explained he could not manage his role as Youth Mental Health Ambassador and being a A&E doctor and "something had to give" leading to him leaving the medical profession.
