Love Island's Dr Alex says Spurs should be 'ashamed' for furloughing staff while players are on huge wages

Love Island's Dr Alex has hit out at football club Tottenham Hotspur for furloughing backroom staff.

Staff, including cleaners and office workers, will receive 80 per cent of their wages from the Government, while executives  and players have yet to declare a cut in pay.

The former reality TV star, full name Alex George, is an A&E doctor and he thinks the club should be 'ashamed' of its actions.

He said: " @SpursOfficial should be ashamed of themselves. How can you have a billionaire paying execs millions in bonuses, players on massive wages and have the cheek to furlough their hard working staff. All to take advantage of a scheme set up to help those in need.

"Sorry if you're a Spurs fan, you have a good club but this is bad."
