He revealed the news with a slew of posts of him opening up about his recent medical diagnosis.
The former Love Island star captioned the heartfelt post: “Some news that I have been wanting to share with you [ blue heart emoji].”
In the the first post he said: “The tipping point for me to finally see someone was my Stompcast conversation with Toddla T, who gave me the strength to stop burying my head in the sand and look for some answers.”
He then went on to say that over the last few months he has undergoing assessments and has now been diagnosed with ADHD.
He continued: “I hate that name and I particularly hate the word disorder. I’ll tell you why another day. It’s been a weird few weeks coming to terms with this “diagnosis”. I’m not exactly sure why, I’m the same Alex and I shouldn’t feel different.
The star was soon flooded with comments from his adoring fans.
One fan wrote: ” Many of the best people I know have ADHD, displayed in many different ways. Strength over stigma. Thank you for sharing.”
