Rising to fame in 2018 for his dating escapades on Love Island, Dr Alex George has since taken the media world by storm, becoming a TV doctor, writer and now Youth Mental Health Ambassador to the government, improving the support that young people receive regarding their mental health. He has also since published two Sunday Times Number 1 Bestsellers as well as bringing out his newest book, The Mind Manual.


From his years as an A&E doctor Alex has become a well known and respected figure, bringing the nation accessible and reassuring advice directly from the frontline throughout the pandemic.
