Dr Alex George has revealed he’s being trolled over his brother’s death on social media.
The Love Island star announced the death of his younger brother Llyr last month, following a battle with his mental health.
On Saturday evening, Alex shared a video of the seaside while he was out for a walk, which prompted a cruel troll to send him a nasty message.
Taking to his Instagram Story, Alex shared a screenshot of the message, which read: “Your brother is dead get off social media.”
Alex responded by writing: “Imagine being this person. I’m holding [on] by a thread and you get people like this.”
In another post, Alex added: “I am honest and open with you all. The good, the bad and the ugly. There is so much that isn’t shared online of course.”
“So many of you are so kind and message me each day with well wishes. I often post to let you know I am still going strong x.”
The news comes after Llyr’s funeral took place on Monday.
After his younger brother was laid to rest, Alex paid tribute to him on Instagram by writing: “Yesterday I said goodbye to my little brother Llŷr. It was the hardest day of my life.”
“Except it wasn’t goodbye. Llŷr, your dream was to become a doctor, you will live that dream. Every patient I see, we will do it together, you and I ❤️.”
“Your favourite passion is cars, every time I am out driving, I know you will be there laughing and smiling with me. I love you so much Llŷr, you are always with me, my boy ❤️”
Llyr sadly passed away just weeks before he was set to start medical school.
Announcing the news of his death last month, Alex told his followers: “I can’t believe I am actually writing this post. I have lost my beautiful little brother to mental health. I love you so much Llŷr. The kindest and most caring soul.”
“I was so proud of you starting medical school next month, you would have been the most incredible doctor. We are hurting so bad. No words can explain. As a family we are devastated. We love you and miss you so much. Please rest in peace x Our boy.”
