George grew up in
Nantgaredig, a village near
Carmarthen,
Wales. He is the oldest of three children. George studied medicine at the
Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry and graduated in 2015. He went on to work in Emergency Medicine at
University Hospital Lewisham in
London. In 2018, George appeared in the fourth series of the ITV2 reality dating series
Love Island. Following the show, he returned to working part-time at Lewisham whilst also making regular media appearances speaking about mental health on ITV morning shows including
Good Morning Britain,
Lorraine and
Loose Women. In 2019, George launched the podcast The Waiting Room with Dr Alex, in which he interviews healthcare professionals on topical issues related to health and wellbeing. Notable guests have included surgeon and humanitarian
David Nott. In July 2020, George's youngest brother Llŷr died by suicide. In 2021, he joined
OnlyFans to post "videos around mental health, self-care and positivity". In 2022, he purchased four holiday homes in Pembrokeshire to market as holiday lets. After further consideration, he decided to use one of the holiday homes to host a Ukrainian family. After posting this on social media he received criticism, with people saying that he was "tone deaf" for buying the holiday homes amid a shortage of affordable houses for local people in Wales. George later responded, saying that he was planning to rent one of the holiday homes to locals, after the Ukrainian family would no longer need it. He also said that he would be willing to meet local campaigners on the second homes issue. ==Notes==
