Love Island newbies like the look of Alex
NEW Love Island contestants Ellie Brown and Zara McDermott have both hinted they are interested in getting to know Welsh A&E doctor Alex George, below.
Ahead of the pair’s arrival in the villa in tonight’s episode of the ITV2 reality show, business development manager Brown and government adviser McDermott were both asked what they were looking for in a partner.
Brown, 20, said: “I’m in love with Alex! I absolutely love him. I don’t have a type. My two ex-boyfriends are so polar opposite, it’s unreal.
“One was muscly, tall. The other was not much taller than me and a bit older. I’m not looking for anything specific.
“If they make me happy, they’re for me, and if they don’t, they’re not for me.”
McDermott, 21, from Essex, also mentioned the Carmarthen doc when asked the same question, as well as bodybuilder Adam Collard. She said: “I really like Adam, he’s very attractive. In terms of longevity, though, Alex has a lot of potential. But I need to get know him more though. I don’t think we’ve seen how fun he can be. Maybe I can bring that out in him!” Their comments could signal a change in romantic fortunes for the doctor, who is currently in a friendship couple with West End performer Samira Mighty. The pair survived a public vote which saw models Hayley Hughes and Charlie Frederick dumped from the programme on Friday. Dr Alex has also been vying with model Eyal Booker for the affections of glamour model Megan Barton Hanson.
