Love Island’s Dr Alex reveals plan for career change on This Morning

He could be saying goodbye to A&E

He spent a lot of time in the Love Island villa talking about his duties in A&E, but Dr Alex George could be turning his back on the NHS.

Speaking on Tuesday’s This Morning, the star admitted: “I would love to do TV doctor work.”

He added: “I would love to make it accessible to everyone.”

Speaking to presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, Alex, 27, admitted he would rather not go down the usual reality star route of doing club appearances and endorsement deals.

The married hosts revealed their viewer poll agreed with that decision.

In fact, 97% of the 6,000 people who voted said he shouldn’t become a reality star.

Fans watching from home speculated that Alex was angling for a job on that very sofa.

One wrote: “Anyone else think Dr Alex will end up with a regular spot on This Morning? Something like “Ask The Love Doctor”? #LoveIsland”.

Another tweeted: “Watch out Dr Ranj & Dr Chris… they’ll replace you with Dr Alex #ThisMorning”.

Describing their night together in the hideaway, Alexandra, 27, told the female contestants: “He grabbed my hand, opened his shorts and…”

“It all happened very fast but it did happen.”

We think he could make a great TV presenter – but we don’t want to lose Dr Ranj or Dr Chris. Maybe there’s space on the BBC?
