Love Island star Dr Alex returns to Wales and finds ‘heaven on Earth’

-

LOVE Island star Dr Alex George has been enjoying spending time back in Wales. The doctor, who shot to fame on the reality TV show Love Island, hails from Carmarthen and has been visiting Pembrokesh­ire.

Dr Alex quickly made a name for himself when he was unlucky in love on the 2018 series of Love Island. Since then Dr Alex has gone on to be a mental health ambassador after his younger brother Llyr took his own life.

Now the star has posted to Instagram to tell his fans he has found “paradise” in Wales. Dr Alex visited Skrinkle Haven beach in Pembrokesh­ire.

In a video posted to his Instagram, Dr Alex showed his fans the route to the bay, hidden in a cave, and the gorgeous stretches of sand on the beach.

He said: “This slice of paradise is found in the stunning

Pembrokesh­ire... it is honestly like a slice of heaven on Earth.”

Dr Alex went on to describe how his dogs and his family love the beach and that he took a dip in the sea.

He added that the beach was “amazing” for his mental health.

Recently Dr Alex came under fire for buying four holiday cottages in Pembrokesh­ire. He said he would be renting one out for free to a Ukrainian refugee family, but many people were not impressed that he was buying second homes in Wales and he claimed he was being subject to “threats of violence”.

In 2021 Dr Alex became the Youth Mental Health Ambassador to the UK Government, appointed to the role by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Since then Dr Alex has spoken openly about his own mental health and his #postyourpi­ll campaign, where he told his followers he took medication for his anxiety.
