Doctors’ Dex Lee reveals most challenging moments since joining the show
Doctors' star Dex Lee has revealed the most challenging moments since joining the show.
Dex has played Bear Sylvester in the BBC series since November 2019.
Soon after he joined, the Coronavirus pandemic hit and forced TV shows to put stringent health and safety regulations in place to be able to continue filming.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Dex said: "Really quite honestly making that transition from COVID protocols back to normal was hard.
"I started Doctors in the middle of 2019, so I spent more time two metre distancing with a single camera than I have with two cameras.
"So my default now is just to step away [from people] and it's been a challenge to kind of get back to that."
