Dr Alex George surprises mum by buying her dream car: ‘I hope you love it mum’

Dr Alex George revealed he has treated his mum to her dream car, a bright red convertible Mini Cooper. 

The former Love Island star, 30, shared the touching moment on Instagram and on his YouTube channel as he gifted her the car as thanks for everything she has done for him over the years. 

He wrote: ‘SURPRISE. Mum has always put my brothers and I first and made so many sacrifices for us over the years. 

‘For as long as I can remember, Mum has been saying that one day she would love a drive in a convertible Mini. 

‘Well Mum, you now have one of your own, which you can drive every single day! I hope you love it Mum, Paddington is certainly excited for a spin with the roof down.’

Dr Alex, who has been working as a frontline medic for the NHS throughout the coronavirus pandemic, made his dad take his mum out for the day while the car was delivered to her driveway in Wales. 

He revealed that she had always said she would get a red convertible Mini once her sons had grown up, but she never managed to get round to treating herself to her dream car. 

Sharing the touching moment on YouTube, Alex’s mother was in complete shock to see her gift waiting for her with a black cover hiding it. 

She exclaimed: ‘Oh my god! That’s my car?’, and tried to embrace Alex, who dodged her as he said: ‘Not allowed to hug!’ and maintained his social distance. 

Alex’s mum broke down in tears as they whipped the car cover off to reveal the Mini she had always dreamed of owning. 

We reckon we can guess who’s won son of the year for 2021.
