Yahoo News Love Island viewers in stitches at unseen Alex moment
It's the weekend and you know what that means – Love Island: The Weekly Hot List.
Tonight's episode (June 23) was packed with exclusive clips, but Alex George's Beach Hut ramblings were the pick of the bunch.
With this year's villa being soundtracked by specific 'lad lingo', the doctor found himself getting to grips with particular sayings and cheeky terminologies.

With terms like 'sort', 'peng', 'chirpsing' and 'crep' doing the rounds on the reality TV show, Alex is doing his level best to keep up. But sorry, Al – a crep is not a pancake.
Fans of the show were in stitches as they posted their love of Alex's musings.
Alex learning words like sort and creps is the cutest thing I’ve seen #LoveIsland

The amusement continued on social media, but some had no idea why it wasn't in one of the nightly episodes broadcast during the week.
Where has THIS Alex been?? Why don't they show these bits on the show wow no wonder the show itself is boring #loveisland

Hear that, ITV? More of this please!
Recently, dumped islander Rosie Williams gave her take on Alex's relationship with new girl Ellie Brown, noting: "I was still trying to suss Ellie and Zara out [when I left]. They were both quite cold to me, the girls, when they first came in, but then told the boys that they felt isolated.
"They are definitely more boy-oriented than the girls in the villa already. But I hope for Alex's sake, [Ellie] has genuine feelings, because he's waited a long time to meet someone for real. But only time will tell in that villa. You can't play games alone."
Love Island airs new episodes Sunday through Friday at 9pm on ITV2, with Caroline Flack hosting The Weekly Hot List recap show on Saturdays at 9pm.
