Welsh Love Island star Dr Alex George has said he's "hanging on by a thread" after he was targeted by a cruel troll on social media following his younger brother's death.
The A&E doctor, originally from Carmarthen, shared a message from someone on Instagram who questioned why he had been posting on social media.
The message said: "Your brother is dead get off social media."
Alex shared it with his 1.4 million followers and added: "Imagine being this person. I'm holding by a thread and you get people like this."
The 29-year-old said that he often posts to let people know that he is still going strong.
He added: "I am honest and open with you all. The good, the bad and the ugly.
"There is so much that isn't shared online of course. So many of you are so kind and message me each day with well wishes.
"I often post to let you know I am still going strong x."
Dr Alex announced last month that his brother, Llŷr had died.
In a heartfelt tribute, the Love Island star said that Llŷr was due to start medical school, before adding that his family are devastated.
The emotional post read: "I can't believe I am actually writing this post. I have lost my beautiful little brother to mental health.
"I love you so much Llŷr. The kindest and most caring soul.
"I was so proud of you starting medical school next month, you would have been the most incredible doctor. We are hurting so bad. No words can explain.
"As a family we are devastated. We love you and miss you so much. Please rest in peace. Our boy."
