Love island’s Dr Alex couples up

Former Love Island star Dr alex George has gone Instagram official with his new girlfriend, barristers’ clerk Ellie Hecht. Sharing a sweet snap of them together at a cider farm, the NHS doctor, 30, wrote alongside, “The apple of my eye.”

A source close to the medic and podcaster revealed the pair have been dating for several months and that things appear to be getting serious between them after a number of romantic breaks.

“They’re currently enjoying some much-earned time away in Cornwall, where they’ve been relaxing and spending time together outdoors,” said the source. “They began their trip at Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, staying in a romantic treehouse. Alex has had a difficult year, with the passing of his brother, and working nonstop on the frontline. His family are so pleased to see him happy in a new relationship.”
