Love Island's Dr Alex: 'The lie detector was an inaccurate sham - I am glad it's gone' - Mirror Online

Posted: 27 Jul 2019 07:34 AM PDT

Love Island star Dr Alex George has described the now-scrapped lie detector tests as a sham, claiming that they "simply did not work".

The much-loved medic took part in the 2018 season, and fell foul of the infamous lie detector test leaving viewers stunned.

However, he claims the tests are not accurate, and is glad to see the back of them.

The tests, which are carried out in week 8 of the reality show, have seen even the strongest of couples break down when hooked up to heart monitor and quizzed.

The medic failed almost every question but insists he was telling the truth

Speaking to Racing Post , he said: "It is for the best they are not doing the lie detector test this year because they simply don't work.

"I don't think it was accurate. Some of the things they said were true and false didn't match up with what we felt was happening on the inside.

"I can't remember what it was but I answered a question truthfully and it said it was false.

"The more you protest, the more everyone thinks you're definitely lying."

Viewers were stunned to see him fail intimate questions about his Love Island relationship

The A&E doctor added: "Detectors which measure pulse or respiratory rate aren't that accurate quite frankly."

Dr Alex felt the full wrath of Love Island fans in 2018 when he appeared to fail his lie detector test, with viewers branding him "the biggest liar".

Love Island 2019

His villa girlfriend Alexandra was left in tears after he appeared to be lying when asked if he wanted his parents to meet her.

He also failed when asked if he felt her feelings for him were real and whether he would have coupled up with another girl in the villa.

In this year's Love Island, viewers have already seen the baby challenge and the brutal 'headlines' game, but the controversial lie detector is noticeably missing.

ITV allegedly made the decision to scrap the polygraph test following the deaths of two former Love Island contestants and a Jeremy Kyle participant.

Her hands glided across keyboards, ready to take a sudden phone call for help and relay the emergency to appropriate responders. Jarrell's first shift alone "on the floor" of the Citrus County Sheriff's Office's 911 Communications Center inside the Emergency Operations Center was July 4, 2020.

By adulthood, we are prolific. We lie to our employers, our partners and, most of all, one study has found, to our mothers . The average person hears up to 200 lies a day, according to research by Jerry Jellison, a psychologist at the University of Southern California. The majority of the lies we tell are "white", the inconsequential niceties – "I love your dress!" – that grease the wheels of human interaction. But most people tell one or two "big" lies a day, says Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire. We lie to promote ourselves, protect ourselves and to hurt or avoid hurting others. The mystery is how we keep g...
