Love Island's Dr. Alex George in self isolation
Love Island 2018 contestant Dr. Alex George is currently living separately from his girlfriend Amelia.
He's doing this in a bid to protect her from infection as he works in A&E amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Alex opened up about his time in self isolation on Instagram Stories admitting it can be, "lonely."
The former reality star told his followers, "A lot of you might have realised I am living by myself during this period going from A&E to home and keeping away from everyone, as I don’t want to give Amelia an illness."
"In the NHS or any other health care system around the world, I know a lot of us like myself are isolating alone and I know that can be not ideal, and lonely even."
"But we’re in it so together and I just wanted to say to anyone that feels that way, you are not alone."
Using his platform for good
Alex has been using his platform to keep his 1.3 million followers updated on the current global pandemic.
In his latest post, he's seen wearing his protective gear, 'Covid-19 WILL NOT win.'
He added, 'The NHS is SO resilient and we can and WILL do this.'
