Did anyone watch Alex Lewis earlier?
Tour of Yorkshire Bgins at 11.15 a.m. !
Yes I watched it. What a strong couple they were. I googled them afterwards. His girlfriend was a pastry chef who trained under Marco Pierre White and worked at some prestigious restaurants. Having read a few articles on her, she sounds like a workaholic. She has a lot of businesses. Alex was a stay at home Dad before he was taken ill and he said in one interview that him and his son were inseparable as his girlfriend used to be working a lot and away from home.
I had seen some articles on him before the programme and was confused as he had his right arm and hand but I assumed it was a prosthetic but after reading up on him, they did manage to save his right arm and hand but in 2014, after a night out in London he slept on it oddly and broke it in three places. They then discovered that there was still some Strep A in his bone so didn't want to risk it spreading into his torso so amputated it at his elbow. From reading up on him, there was quite a lot that happened that they didn't mention in the documentary but I believe he wanted it to be positive and he agreed to make it so his son can look back at it when he is older.
I thought he looked a lot younger after his illness than he did beforehand.
