(Picture: Daniel Hambury)Young and rich, baby! That’s me. Oh wait, no it’s not. But it is Dr Alex, who graduated from being “the sunburnt guy no one fancied on Love Island” to someone doing pretty well for himself. The trappings of post-reality TV fame have included raking in two million Instagram followers, regular appearances on the Good Morning Britain sofa to offer health advice and, um, buying four holiday cottages in Pembrokeshire.
Dr Alex excitedly announced his new renovation project this week, saying he wanted to offer the chance for people to enjoy the beautiful place where he grew up. He also said he would be offering one of the cottages to a Ukrainian family in need. But it didn’t take long for the internet’s laws of gravity to kick in; he was soon inundated by furious comments accusing him of contributing to a second homes crisis in the area, with many locals now unable to find affordable housing.
