Doctor Alex George has split from girlfriend Ellie Hetch after a year of dating.
The 30-year-old former Love Island star - now a government ambassador for youth mental health - began dating Hetch, a barrister's clerk, in January 2021 and recently they adopted a puppy called Freddie together.
"Alex and Ellie tried everything to make it work but sometimes it's just not meant to be," a friend told The Sun.
"They have now gone their separate ways after a very emotional phone conversation.
"Ellie will be keeping Freddie and has moved her stuff out of Alex's new flat.
"It's heartbreaking for everyone and Alex is determined they stay friends."
George recently fronted a documentary on mental health, Dr Alex: Our Young Mental Health Crisis, for the BBC.
