'Love Island' Fans Turn On Dr Alex George After Uncomfortable Ellie Brown Confrontation

He refused to accept she just doesn't fancy him.

Up until this point, ‘Love Island’ fans had been willing on Dr Alex George in his quest for love after a slow start in the villa, but the tide turned against him during Monday night’s episode.

Viewers saw him involved in an uncomfortable confrontation with Ellie Brown after she attempted to cool things off with him.

As Ellie told him she didn’t believe there was any sexual chemistry between them and she had found it “awkward” sharing a bed, he hit back and claimed she had made no effort to get to know him after they officially recoupled last week.

Calling her “rude”, he refused to accept Ellie’s admission that she had come to the realisation she didn’t fancy him, at which point fans accused him of trying to guilt trip her and playing the victim.

Unpopular opinion #loveisland : Ellie isn't using Alex. Alex forced his relationship on her & so did every1 else. She wasn't able to take things slow with Alex cos he's so desperate to find some1 & only cares about how he feels. He uses his previous rejections as guilt tripping.

Alex is super entitled, I feel like he just goes for every new girl that goes on the show simply because he believes it’s his turn. Ellie doesn’t actually owe him anything, but let’s be clear that girl still played him like a Nintendo DS Lite #LoveIsland

Ellie’s literally done nothing wrong, why is Alex victimising himself just because she doesn’t find him sexually attractive? He’s being more manipulative than Adam. #loveisland

My opinion: Alex is being way too mad about a girl not liking him back, Ellie hasn’t done anything wrong! She just doesn’t like him back which is more than ok if she doesn’t feel it. She doesn’t owe Alex anything #LoveIsland

I’m actually over Alex and his victim mentality. Just accept you have no sauce and go home. The NHS needs you, the girls in the villa do not. #LoveIsland

Ellie doesn’t HAVE to like Alex. If she doesn’t like him she doesn’t like him. No reason for her to be called a snake 🤷🏽♀️ she would be more snakey if she carried on convincing herself she fancies him....when really she’s just being honest 🙏🏽 https://t.co/TO7u7lAvYt

Whether it's a drink, dinner, a few nice dates, a kind word or a recoupling decision, repeat after me... Women. Don't. Owe. You. Anything. https://t.co/4JWK9fCqXy

I’m over Dr Alex and his victim playing. Sometimes girls just change their mind, big woop. It’s been a few days. Ellie thought she was into it, she tried and the spark wasn’t there. It happens #LoveIsIand

I felt sorry for Alex at first but now he just makes me cringe. You can’t force feelings for someone, he needs to stop playing the victim, it’s embarrassing. Maybe all the girls he’s liked haven’t been the problem, maybe the issue is his needy approach to them 🧐 #LoveIsland

Men like Alex who play victim and think they’re entitled #loveisland pic.twitter.com/vAzXm1zVov

Might be an unpopular opinion but I think Alex is manipulative #loveisland

Alex feels entitled to be with someone even if they're not interested.
He's centred everything around himself and his feelings rather than taking a moment to think about Ellie and why she feels the way she does. #LoveIsland

Tell you what, Alex is actually quite a selfish person, always about him and how he feels, feel like he’s playing the victim card now. Bore off now pal #loveisland

I’m so done with Alex. Ellie does not deserve to be the ‘bad guy’ here just because she does not have feelings which he somehow feels entitled to in the villa. It’s clearly not happening and it’s really starting to feel draining on the overall show #LoveIsland https://t.co/RotkEBUvLc

The couple are currently at risk of being dumped from the Island, as at then end of the episode, it was announced the public could vote to save their favourites. And with Caroline Flack currently making her way to Spain, it is only a matter of time before someone leaves in dramatic fashion.

Alex and Ellie are not the only couple to have hit a bump in the road either, as fans saw Megan Barton-Hanson admit she was having doubts about her romance with Eyal Booker, just days after they took things to a physical level.

And in a preview of Tuesday’s instalment, she was seen admitting to Wes Nelson, who is currently coupled up with Laura Anderson, she was drawn to him - what will this mean for Laura and Wes?

‘Love Island’ continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
