Dr Alex George has had an incredible journey since we first saw him slapping on the Factor 50 on Love Island in 2018. Since then, the softly-spoken Welshman, 33, has become one of the country’s best-loved ambassadors for mental health, during the pandemic appearing on TV - while working as an A&E doctor - almost daily, to help update the nation. Here, Alex, who has been the UK's Youth Mental Health Ambassador since 2021, opens up on how his experiences in life have changed him, including the tragic death of his younger brother, Llyr in 2020.
He also reveals how impressed he was when he met the Prince and Princess of Wales - and told OK! all about the secrets behind his stunning lifestyle transformation since quitting booze, which saw him lose almost seven stone… Alex you’re looking great – you transformed yourself in the past year… I gave up alcohol and have lost almost seven stone in weight. It’s a lot! I’ve never been fitter or happier. But I never calorie-counted along the way – my focus was, I wanted to fuel my body, move it more and be kind to my body and mind.
It was a lifestyle change for me – never a ‘diet’. I wanted my next decade to look like health and happiness. I want to live as long and happy a life as I can.
I love my mornings now, I love walking. I still socialise but I don’t need to drink to do it. It’s the people and the laughter that I enjoy – not the liquid.
If anyone doesn’t get that, they’re maybe not your people. You gave up alcohol in 2022, what was the lightbulb moment? It’s been a difficult few years. I worked through the pandemic and saw some unspeakable things.
