Dr Alex George admits he’s struggling living apart from Amelia Bath while working on frontline

He’s been working in support of the fight against coronavirus on the NHS frontline.

And Dr Alex George has admitted he’s struggling living apart from his girlfriend Amelia Bath after making the decision to distance himself as he continues to risk his life in a bid to help the nation.

In a clip shared to his YouTube channel on Monday, the Love Island star, 30, confessed he’s ‘tired’ following his ‘busy shift’, and just ‘wants to go home and chat’ to the Ibiza Weekender star, 25, who he credited for helping him ‘relax’.

Leaving University Hospital Lewisham in the early hours, the media personality shared: ‘My shift is now finished and I am just heading home. It’s been again a busy shift – I know I keep saying this but it is the truth. I am feeling alright, I am tired. 

‘One of the challenges is that I am away from my girlfriend, I made the decision that I didn’t want to risk giving it to her or her family, so I am up in London staying on my own – isolating and she is staying elsewhere so I don’t give it to her.

‘That is difficult when you have a busy shift like today you want to go home and sit and chat with someone and just hang out with someone to relax after what happened, it’s hard when you can’t and you are on your own.’

Revealing the pair have been communicating via video message and call services, the healthcare professional added: ‘Technology is good, being able to FaceTime and chat to people. 

‘I try and share as much of my experience as I can because it does help, even doing these videos as well, telling you guys how I feel and what I am doing does help me get through a challenging time.’

The couple, who met in a bar, have been going strong since December 2018, a few months after his stint on ITV2 dating series Love Island.

Reality TV star Amelia has since shared her pride over Alex’s career, writing last week: ‘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.’

Earlier in the week, Alex revealed he’s been forced to move out of his flat and has asked his social media followers for help finding a new place.

In the social media post, the Welshman explained his tenancy period has expired and he now needs a new place to stay near his hospital in south London.  

Alex wrote on his Instagram Stories: ‘I need to move out of where I am staying due to the tenancy period expiring. Does anyone have a place I could rent short term for the next month or so. 

‘Need to be in central/south/southwest London to be close to A&E. Thank you.’
