DR ALEX GEORGE – LOVE ISLAND

Signing up to Love Island in 2018, Dr Alex George was hoping to find love; but instead, he won the heart of the nation. His down-to-earth and personable nature made him a fan favourite and gave him the platform he needed to improve people’s lives.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, he documented his frontline duties in his local hospital, taking to social media to highlight the negative effects of lockdown on young people struggling with their mental health. One of Alex’s biggest goals is to change the perception around mental health, comparing it to physical health. He believes that, just as physical health is taken seriously and steps are made to improve it, mental health is often thought about in a negative manner.

DR ALEX GEORGE – TV WORK

His popularity has seen him appear on a number of top-rated TV programmes including Lorraine (2018-2021), Celebrity Masterchef (2019), This Morning (2019), Loose Women (2018), The One Show (2020-2021) and Sky News (2021); he has also worked as the Health Editor for Good Morning Britain (2018-2020).

In 2021, he produced his first documentary for BBC One and Children in Need, Dr Alex: Our Young Mental Health Crisis. In the programme, he followed the journeys of a number of young British people who are living with mental health problems. He explored the difficulties they were having and looked into how local projects – some funded by Children in Need – are making a difference.

DR ALEX GEORGE – HEALTH AMBASSADOR

As well as his work for the UK government, Alex has worked alongside a number of charities such as Mind, YoungMinds and the Anna Freud Centre to ensure mental health is included in the national curriculum alongside Maths, English and Science.
