Dr Alex George has revealed he was hospitalised on Monday night after contracting tonsillitis.
The Love Island star, 33, took to his Instagram on Tuesday to issue a health update from his hospital bed, as he revealed he had needed two procedures and steroid treatment.
He shared a snap from outside the A&E and another of him sitting on a hospital cot, with a cannula visible in his arm.

Alex explained that he had suffered 'crazy' swelling, severe pain and fevers, causing him to rush to the emergency room at midnight.

He said: 'So Easter didn’t 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. 

'I was hoping it wouldn’t get worse but at midnight last night, it was too much and could hardly swallow so I went to St Thomas A&E.'

Returning to the St Thomas brought back some difficult memories for the doctor, as it was same hospital he was treated at when he battled sepsis, which left Alex bed-bound for several days.
