Dr Alex George has showed off his toned physique in a new video, where he opened up about appearing on Love Island and how it has impacted his life both positively and negatively.

The 32 year old, who found fame on the ITV2 show in 2018, posted a short video on Instagram of him getting ready at his home and talked through his outfit with his followers.

Alex started the video topless, wearing only a pair of Calvin Klein boxer shorts, as he began to get dressed. The physician captioned the clip: "Do I regret going on Love Island? GRWM."

He then told fans: "Fundamentally If I didn't go on Love Island, if you wound back that clock and got rid of that and I'd have said no and stayed in Lewisham Hospital, I wouldn't be able to do the things I do right now which I'm really passionate about.

"That being said, there are obviously negative sides of, you know, being known. Your privacy is different."

Alex went on to detail how sometimes he wishes to be able to disappear from the public eye, but also enjoys the opportunities it has given him.

Since his Love Island stint, Alex has gone on to be appointed as a Young Mental Health Ambassador by ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and uses his clinical expertise and personal experiences to help shape policies on support for young people.

He's also written a book, co-founded a mens mental fitness app and is the host of the Stompcast podcast.

Alex has undergone a huge weight loss transformation over recent months, having revealed he's cut out "toxic people" and alcohol from his life.

He opened up about his body transformation in November, telling fans: “So I've lost a lot of weight within the last year, I'd say a life changing amount of weight. The main reason I was able to make the change was because I didn't think about weight.”

He continued: “So even though the biggest physical thing that's changed about me is I've lost a lot of weight, it was never the goal. If you want to lose weight it's probably because you want to feel happier, healthier, more capable or maybe it's about confidence or your mental health."

Alex previously opened up to OK! on how he “turns to food” when he’s stressed and was trying to find other ways to process his feelings.

Last year, he said: "When I'm stressed out I often eat more, so I'm trying to be aware of my own habits and, instead of turning to comfort food, channel this somewhere else and do exercise or talk to someone or find other ways to unwind and relax."
