Dr Alex's love life finally flatlines as Ellie ditches him just a few days after Love Island re-coupling

The pair ended up having a fiery showdown 
Jennifer Ruby25 June 2018

It looks like it’s back to the drawing board for poor old Dr Alex as his one shot at romance in the Love Island villa seems to have evaporated before his eyes.

After appearing to finally get his happy ending with new girl Ellie, it seems that she’s suddenly completely gone off him, leading to a fiery showdown on Monday’s episode.

Despite telling her fellow Islanders that she was keen on the unlucky-in-love doctor before last Friday’s recoupling, Ellie has had a rather significant change of heart.

Speaking to the girls, she said: “I’ll tell you totally how I feel. I came into this villa really wanting to get to know Alex, because I was like ‘do you know what, he will treat me so nice. He’s such a sweetheart.’

“And no offence I was looking at you thinking ‘why does nobody like him?’ I couldn’t get it. And then I’ve come into the villa, and I was like ‘I kind of get it.'"

Opening up about her lack of sexual attraction to Alex, Ellie later said in the beach hut that she didn’t want to “force” anything.

“I’m frustrated because I really did want to feel it, but I just can’t force something that’s not there,” she said.

“If you don’t have a sexual attraction and romance with someone then you just don’t have it. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, it doesn’t mean they’re a bad person.”

Clearly aware of her waning feelings, Alex told his friends that he was “f***** off” that Ellie hadn’t spoken to him since the re-coupling.

“I think she’s being rude at the moment. She’s very rude, very rude,” he told Jack and Dani.

Pulling Alex to one side to finally tell him how she feels, Ellie said: “I don’t think there’s any sexual chemistry between us. I’m sitting here now ending something with somebody who I know has got a kind heart, I know is genuine and it hasn’t been an easy thing for me to do, so yeah…”

Not taking it lying down, Alex asked why she had said that he was the guy for her just a few days previously.

Ellie replied: “You're saying s*** Alex, I never said that. It was bulls*** because I never said that.”

We think your chances at finding love may have just flatlined, Alex.
