Love Island's Dr Alex George has gone public with his new girlfriend, Ellie Hecht.

Dr Alex shared a photo of the pair looking smitten with one another on his Instagram, telling his 1.9 million followers she's "The apple of my eye." Cute!

The A&E doctor, 30, went into the villa in search of love during the fourth series of Love Island, the same time as Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham.

Dr Alex didn't have much luck on the show. He was coupled up with Samira Mighty at the start of the series before moving onto Ellie Brown and then cracking on with Grace Wardle for a brief spell in Casa Amor. After things fizzled out there, Alexandra Cane entered the villa and stole the doctor's heart, but that didn't last long either.

Who is Ellie Hecht?

Ellie Hecht is Dr Alex George's new girlfriend. Alex had previously been dating actress and dancer Amelia Bath since December 2018.

How old is Ellie?

There's not a lot of information out there about Alex's new beau, but according to her LinkedIn profile, Ellie attended Titus Salt School in West Yorkshire and left in 2015, which means she was likely born in 1999, making her age 22/23.

Where is she from?

Considering she attended secondary school in Yorkshire and one of her earlier jobs as a poll worker for the EU referendum was in Leeds, we imagine this is where she grew up.

What does she do?

She now works in London as a barrister's clerk for a company called 4SB. She's worked there since 2017.

On her Instagram profile, Ellie has a link to the London Young Professionals Network, which declared Dr Alex a 'mental health champion' following his recent partnership with the government to raise mental health awareness.

Ellie has done voluntary work in mental health herself. She volunteers for a cancer charity called Look Good Feel Better, which provides physical and emotional wellbeing support for people going through cancer treatment in the UK through 'confidence boosting workshops'.

How long have Alex and Ellie been dating?

According to the Mail Online insider, "Alex and Ellie have been dating for six months now, and it's beginning to get serious between them."

"They're currently enjoying some much-earned time away in Cornwall, where they've been relaxing and spending time together outdoors," the source added.

"They began their trip at Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, staying in a romantic treehouse.

"Alex has had a difficult year, with the passing of his brother, and working nonstop on the frontline. His family are so pleased to see him happy in a new relationship."
