Love Island’s Dr Alex George revealed he sobbed over NHS thank you picture from a little girl

Dr Alex George has revealed that he ‘sobbed’ over an adorable NHS thank you card given to him by a little girl.

The former Love Island star, 30, shared a snap of a sweet drawing of him in uniform as he revealed the kind gesture left him emotional. 

Alex also told that he’s now self-isolating away from girlfriend Amelia Bath in a bid to protect her as he continues to work in A&E amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday, alongside an image of the drawing, Alex penned: ‘This was made by a lovely little girl who wanted to say thank you to NHS staff for their fight against the coronavirus.

‘Needless to say I have been sobbing away at how cute this is. We are in this together. Lets do this. Thank you little Emma this has made my day x’

The medical professional had earlier taken to his Instagram stories where he told that he’s living alone in a bid to protect his loved ones, with Amelia returning to Dorset to stay with her parents. 

Speaking to the camera as he cooked a meal for one, he said: ‘A lot of you might have realised I am living by myself during this period going from A&E to home and keeping away from everyone, as I don’t want to give Amelia an illness.’

He continued: ‘In the NHS or any other health care system around the world, I know a lot of us like myself are isolating alone and I know that can be not ideal, and lonely even.

‘But we’re in it so together and I just wanted to say to anyone that feels that way, you are not alone.’

Days ago Amelia publicly praised her boyfriend for the work he’s been doing during the pandemic.

Alongside a picture of their two shadows, she penned: ‘This afternoon I painted a mirror in the sunshine whilst drinking wine and listening to the Beach Boys. Meanwhile, Alex ran around Lewisham hospital treating Covid-19 patients. 

‘I’m so proud of him and I’m endlessly grateful for all the NHS staff and key workers who are working tirelessly during such uncertain times.’

It comes days after Alex urged the NHS to provide complimentary car parking to all staff during the global coronavirus pandemic.

With over 20,000 extra employees being called to help the fight against COVID-19, Alex has called for ‘hospital car parks to be free’, as a worker’s vehicle was clamped after they were forced to park at their local leisure centre.

The media personality, who returned to his career as an A&E doctor in November 2018, wrote on Twitter on Sunday evening: ‘Controversial but maybe this is a good time for hospital car parks to be free for NHS staff? Retweet if you agree.’

Alex admitted he was left emotional when he received a message which agreed with his statement: ‘Should be free anyway. Bournemouth hospital staff parked at the local leisure centre, which is CLOSED, came out to find themselves clamped!!’ [sic]

Earlier in the day, he thanked McDonald’s for announcing its closure until further notice from Monday.

Alongside the company’s statement, the TV star shared: ‘I know this will disappoint many but the right decision has been made [clapping hands sign].’
