Dr. Alex George is having a pretty tough time inside the Love Island villa.
During Monday night’s premiere episode, he failed to impress any of girls in the first coupling – which left him forced into a pair with Samira Mighty.
And in Tuesday night’s episode, Alex didn’t appear to have made any progress with the girls, and expressed his disappointment to fellow Islanders Adam Collard and Niall Aslam.
Looking downcast, he told them, “I’m just sick of it all, to be honest. I’m fed up. I’ve kind of had enough. I feel like I’m a leper, or something.”
“That’s what I feel like… You just feel like, ‘What is wrong with me?’ Like I’ve got a black mark on me, or something.”
After Niall attempted to cheer him up, Alex replied, “I don’t know, I hate being like this. I’ve pretty much had enough. I’m at that point now. I’ve had enough.”
Adam then suggested, “You haven’t clicked with someone, that’s the only thing. It’s just someone in here hasn’t been right for you right now.”
FIRST LOOK: Poor Alex isn’t feeling the love from the ladies… and a naughty first challenge doesn’t help ????

“Mate, you’re a f***ing catch. Confidence, man. Keep it up. Don’t worry about that.”
Earlier in the episode, Alex also revealed that his partner, Samira, wasn’t even making an effort to get to know him.
While the girls in the villa may not be interested in Alex, he’s gained a lot of fans in the outside world – as viewers took to Twitter to support him.

Fair enough if you don’t fancy someone then that can’t be helped, but then avoiding that person, not speaking to them & leaving them out & just making it awkward is a bitchy thing to do, Samira you’re not above Alex, get off your high horse #loveisland

The way these girls, all of the girls, treat Alex is fucking disgusting, it’s not even funny anymore. #LoveIsland

Poor Alex trained 7 years to be a doctor working in hard conditions saving lives to be mugged off by 5 little slags in Spain on national tv #LoveIsland

I really don’t like how Alex is being treated by some of the girls, their actions have made him feel so insecure about himself and it’s only been a couple of days. If this was the other way round, the guys wouldn’t hear the end of it. Men have feelings too. #LoveIsland
