Love Island fans were left feeling sorry for Dr Alex George after he was snubbed for a kiss during the first challenge, later become emotional over “feeling like a leper”.

The A&E medic got off to a rough start in series four after none of the girls stepped forward for him on Monday night and didn't fare much better during Tuesday’s episode as model Hayley Hughes shunned his advances during a challenge.

The first challenge for the Islanders was to kiss the contestant they thought a fact was about but as Alex went in for a snog with Hayley, the 21-year-old ducked away and began to laugh.

Later on in the episode, Alex admitted to new pals Niall Aslam and Adam Collard that he had “had enough” this early on in the competition.

Growing exasperated, he told them: “I'm just sick of it all, to be honest. I'm fed up. I've kind of had enough.

“I feel like I'm a leper, or something. That's what I feel like... You just feel like, ‘What is wrong with me’. Like I've got a black mark on me, or something.

“I hate being like this. I've pretty much had enough. I'm at that point now. I've had enough.”

Earlier in the show, Alex was met with rejection when he stepped forward to kiss Hayley Hughes during a challenge as well as his partner Samira Mighty admitting that she doesn’t want to flirt with him.

Alex told fellow contestant Jack Fincham that he was “growing frustrated” with Samira as he tried to get to know her but she had a “barrier”.

Viewers couldn’t help but feel sorry for Alex all the way through the episode, desperately hoping that fans have voted him to go on a date with one of the two new arrivals.

One wrote: “Poor Alex I feel so sorry for him, he seems so nice #LoveIsland.”

Another commented: “I would honestly love to meet a man like Alex from #LoveIsland he seems so lovely and a gentleman! Poor guy hasn’t been given a chance.”

“After Hayley pied Alex off during that task/game... I seriously dislike her! #muggy #whatamuggle #loveisland,” posted another.

Love Island continues Wednesday at 9pm on ITV2.
