Love Island star and Lewisham doctor Alex George has shared the experience of himself and his colleagues as they fight the winter coronavirus wave.

The 30-year-old A&E doc recorded a vlog for his YouTube channel, guiding viewers through his day at work and speaking to fellow NHS workers.

The 2018 Love Island contestant said he has developed an “addiction” to bath bombs, which he uses up to five times a week to help relax.

He said: "Obviously you guys are seeing the figures on the news of the deaths. When I'm recording this today I believe we are now around 1,600 deaths a day.

"It's awful, it's really sad. To be honest driving to work, I've been feeling emotional today.

"It's only natural and I want to be honest with you guys.

He added: "This time around, everyone is really tired and fatigued. I'd say morale is still OK but some of the nurses and some of the doctors are spending a lot of time in blue resus areas we're seeing a lot of Covid.

“It's hard on them.

"This is something we've never seen before.

“There's a limited number of space, limited number of doctors and nurses that we can't magic out of thin air. We can't take this anymore."

Alex interviewed Dr Rebecca Crawford, an A&E consultant, as well as Emergency Department Sister Amanda.

He revealed that Amanda led him to his bath bomb habit.

“Amanda actually is the reason why I am addicted to bath-bombs,' he said. 'We actually trade bath-bombs in work...we like to treat ourselves, bring ones in.

“We started it because I looked terrible after a shift in the middle of the pandemic and Amanda thought "he needs a bath-bomb," and my addiction started from there.'

The former reality star revealed his relief earlier this month at receiving the Covid vaccine.

Dr George said that he had endured a tough year, and was finally able to see some light at the end of the dark tunnel.

Again taking to Instagram, he said: “Felt quite emotional having the jab, it has been a hard year!

“I am so glad there is light at the end of the tunnel.”

He went on: “Huge thanks to Chris, one of the hospital pharmacists, for giving me the injection and to everyone working so hard to roll this out.

“It was a quick jab then back to work for me!"

He joked: Full disclosure I was given a star sticker for having the vaccine and being a good boy."
