Former 'Love Island' star Dr Alex George almost died of sceptic shock when he contracted sepsis in 2017. The 30-year-old medical professional - who has been working on the NHS frontline on the A&E; ward at Lewisham Hospital, south east London, amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic - has opened up about his own terrifying brush with death three years ago. In a video clip on Instagram, Alex - who found fame on the 2018 series of the reality dating show - shared how he was cycling to work one day and suddenly felt extremely poorly and admitted himself to the hospital, where it was found he had a high temperature. He recalled: "It was very scary, but I was rushed through into a cubicle where I was seen immediately by one of the senior doctors there. "I think what really scared me at the time was A, I was alone, B, how quickly it happened and also the fact that it took me a long while to respond."
