Dr Alex George has revealed that he sometimes goes home “in tears” while working on the frontline, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Love Island star has been working in the A&E department at Lewisham Hospital in London.
Speaking on ITV’s Lorraine, Alex confessed: “There have been some difficult times.”
“There’s been days where I’ve been coming home very upset and in tears at the things I’ve seen.”

Alex spoke about how his colleagues have helped him during this difficult time.
“I’m quite open to speak to my colleagues at work,” he explained. “We’ve got a wellness room, which actually we can kind of go to if things get a bit difficult.”
“Or speak to a colleague or a friend and go through what you’re experiencing.”
The 30-year-old also paid tribute to his family and his girlfriend Amelia, who he hasn’t seen in five weeks.
“Family is very important too, my girlfriend has been amazing, I’ve spoken to her about certain things as well,” he said.
The pair have been dating ever since they met in a bar back in December 2018.
