Love Island's Dr. Alex George cheated on his ex girlfriend Ellie Hetch four times before breaking up with her, according to reports.

The former reality star, 30, and barrister clerk Ellie had been together since January 2021 and went public with their relationship last June, but called it quits earlier this month.

Reports indicate Dr. Alex sexted a number of women during their relationship, with the publication claiming to have seen message evidence of these communications.

A friend close to the couple said: "Alex cheated on Ellie very early on in their relationship but she chose to forgive him and move on.

"She has really been his rock during a very difficult time for him and decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.

"Unfortunately, Alex went on to sext a number of other women during their relationship and it all came to a head when someone contacted Ellie and spilled the beans about what he had been up to.

"Alex insisted he hadn't slept with anyone else.

"Ellie is really struggling to believe him though because he was often away on work trips and messages showed him begging to meet girls in hotel rooms."

Ellie is said to have forgiven him again, but Alex called time on their romance earlier this year.

Ellie has now reportedly moved out of his £1.6 million south London flat where she was living with him and is finding somewhere else to stay with the dog, Freddie.

The pair went Instagram official last June when they headed off to Cornwall for a romantic holiday.

A source close to the couple told MailOnline at the time Ellie had been a pillar of support to Alex as he continues to mourn the devastating loss of his brother Llŷr, who tragically took his own life aged 19 in July 2020.
