Dr Alex says deadly bug is past its peak in his hospital as he looks forward to Nandos

Love Island 's Dr Alex George has discussed what he thinks life will be like after the coronavirus pandemic has passed.

The professional told Capital Breakfast hosts how people will take a different approach to everyday life post-coronavirus.

Alex also revealed the coronavirus peak is "over" in the Lewisham hospital he works at, after it was revealed last week that London is past the peak.

He also lifted the lid on his hilarious plans for once the lockdown is lifted - and it's not what you'd expect.

Roman Kemp asked the doctor what normal life will look like in the short term, and he revealed: "I was imagining in meeting rooms, are people going to shake hands? I think people will change a lot, people will be more cautious.

"I think it will change the way people behave and how we can realistically do that and social distance."

He added: "We'll make it work but it's going to be different."

Roman's co-star Sian Welby added: "I'm hoping it sorts out that awkward British greeting thing," as the others laughed.

Alex's first plan for once life goes back to normal is to take his weekly trip to chicken restaurant chain Nandos.

He made the hilarious reveal as Roman mentioned he'd noticed the doctor has been cooking up his own Nandos meals at home.

Dr Alex said: "First of all, I wanna say how much I miss Nandos. The normal routine in my life is three Nandos a week - that's honestly true aswell."

He also admitted there's a positive atmosphere in the hospital as NHS staff feel like they're "winning" and aren't going to give up.

The doctor seemed in good spirits as he admitted University Hospital Lewisham has passed the deadly virus' peak.

He said: "We're over the peak now in hospital and noticing a difference. There's less cases and less people coming in.

"We're slowly winning the battle and it's all down to you at home and what you're doing."

Roman asked how important it is to follow government guidelines as PM Boris Johnson is looking at the safest and quickest way to get the UK out of lockdown.

While Alex does not know the plan, he shared: "We want to plan the exit very carefully, we don't want a massive rise.

"It's very important and clear what we're going to do next."
