Dr Alex George, the This Morning star who rose to fame on Love Island, has announced the end of his podcast Stompcast after more than 200 episodes. In an emotional Instagram video, he said goodbye to the show that he credits with helping him quit drinking, navigate grief, and discover he has ADHD and autism.
Final Episode with Mum
The final episode of Stompcast features Dr Alex’s mother, which he described as fitting. “The last episode is with my mum, which I think is very fitting for the Stompcast,” he said in the video. “I’m very grateful to it, because it has allowed me to discover ADHD and autism, to quit drinking, to get through grief, to improve my life.”
Dr Alex started the podcast to encourage listeners to walk more and connect with nature. Over four years, the community’s combined steps were calculated to have reached the moon and back 13 times after two years. “Imagine how many steps we’ve got in total now,” he added.
Gratitude to Listeners
He thanked listeners, guests, and producers, saying: “I’m very grateful to every single person that’s come on the Stompcast, including my mum. To all the listeners, to all of you that tune in every week, to all the producers and everyone who helps me bring new episodes, I think it’s special, we’re proud.”
He urged fans to “bring the tissues” for the final episode, which he believes will inspire many. In the caption, he hinted at a new project: “So I’m putting down my stomping boots, but something exciting is coming soon. What do you think could be next?”
