Dr Alex George has surprised his mum with her dream car.
The Love Island star documented his mum’s reaction in an emotional YouTube video, which saw her break down in tears after receiving a red Mini convertible.
Taking to Instagram, the A&E doctor wrote: “SURPRISE ❤️ Mum has always put my brothers and I first and made so many sacrifices for us over the years.”
“For as long as I can remember, Mum has been saying that one day she would love a drive in a convertible Mini. Well Mum, you now have one of your own, which you can drive every single day!”

“I hope you love it Mum, Paddington is certainly excited for a spin with the roof down 🐾,” he said, referencing his new puppy.
Fans took to the comment section to praise the 30-year-old for the kind gesture, with one follower writing: “Alex you’re the real definition of ‘influencer’ you’re a top man ❤️”.
A second commented: “The only guy from love island that still has all of my respect !”, while a third penned: “Just watched this video you are the most cutestest, kindest, down to earth person ❤️”.
It’s been a tough year for Alex and his family, after his younger brother Llŷr sadly took his own life in July.
Since his brother’s death, Alex has been actively campaigning for better mental health provision – and was appointed as a mental health ambassador by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in February.
As well as campaigning for mental health, he has been working on the frontline at A&E department in London’s University Hospital Lewisham.
The doctor has been using his platform to share the reality of the coronavirus pandemic, urging his followers to follow government guidelines.
