Love Island<\/a> star Dr Alex George<\/a> has shared an update after revealing he was hospitalised and finding himself \u2018hardly\u2019 able to swallow.<\/p>\n

The TV star, 33, who first rose to fame in 2018 on the fourth series of the ITV<\/a> dating show, shared an update on social media<\/a> with a snap of himself on a hospital bed after being rushed to A&E on Tuesday, and has since shared an update saying he\u2019s returned.<\/p>\n

Dr Alex wrote today: \u2018Spirit feels a bit broken writing this but sadly I had to come back to A&E this morning, throat was swelling up and getting worse.<\/p>\n

\u2018Breathing is ok but thats always the big worry. Really want to be positive but I haven\u2019t slept in a week, hardly eaten with pain and fevers.<\/p>\n

\u2018I know there are so many worse off than me and I am doing my best to be grateful and positive but yeh, can\u2019t always be I guess.\u2019<\/p>\n

He concluded: \u2018The doctors and nurses have been so kind and caring, thank you. Just got to roll with punches now and I will be better soon.<\/p>\n

\u2018Thank you so much for the love and support, Alex x.\u2019<\/p>\n

The mental health ambassador had previously said this week, announcing he had been admitted to hospital: \u2018So Easter didn\u2019t go so well. I was hoping to do a March photo dump today but here we are. Last few days I have had tonsillitis with fevers, but yesterday the swelling around my tonsil went crazy and the pain was very bad.<\/p>\n

\u2018I was hoping it wouldn\u2019t get worse but at midnight last night, it was too much and could hardly swallow so I went to St Thomas A&E.\u2019<\/p>\n

He went on: \u2018Kind of weird for me coming back to St Thomas Hospital, as a few years ago I nearly died of sepsis<\/a>. If it were not for the incredible care of the doctors and nurses I wouldn\u2019t be here.<\/p>\n

\u2018There is a deep humbling that happens when you feel so unwell that you need to ask someone, \u201cplease can you help me?\u201d. In asking that question you are submitting yourself and allowing others to intervene and help you, when you can\u2019t help yourself further.<\/p>\n

\u2018I had this same feeling, probably to a greater extent, when I had sepsis. A realization of, what would I do if you weren\u2019t here to help me right now? Like really, what would I do?\u2019<\/p>\n

Dr Alex went on to thank the team in A&E who looked after him at St Thomas, before he was transferred to Guys Hospital.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u2018I had medications and a procedure overnight, and felt some relief. I have had another procedure this morning and feel on the mend. I cannot emphasize, reiterate, or say this enough, I am so grateful to everyone that has looked after me.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m lying in the hospital bed right now, feeling slightly high from the steroids, but really thinking how much I value my health, being able to move and exercise, being able to feel well. Never take it for granted! No day is promised, lets live as much as we can,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

\u2018All going well, I hope to be reunited with Rolo Polo later this evening or tomorrow, who has also been poorly. What a pair! Thanks for all the kind messages, I appreciate you SO much.\u2019<\/p>\n
