Alex Beresford makes Good Morning Britain return - ten days after Piers Morgan row

Alex Beresford made his big return to Good Morning Britain, ten days after he was last seen on the show in a fiery row with Piers Morgan that saw Piers storm off.

Weather presenter Alex, 40, had challenged Piers on his "trashing" of Meghan Markle following her interview with Oprah Winfrey alongside husband Prince Harry.

Meghan said she felt suicidal while pregnant with Archie, and Piers said he "didn't believe a word" of what she was saying - with his remarks sparking a record-breaking number of Ofcom complaints.

He marched off the set saying "I am not having this" as Alex - branded him "diabolical" before quitting his role as host that night.

On Friday morning, Alex marked his comeback as he tweeted: "Good morning x" to his 252,000 followers.

One fan replied: "Alex good to see you back mate ..good luck to you...have a good day. Mate".

"Morning have a fantastic day, ignore haters they're just a bit sad," added another.

A third wrote: "Good morning Alex. Good to see you on TV GMB".

Host Kate Garraway told him "lovely to see you Alex," as she greeted him alongside her co host Charlotte Hawkins.

He also impressed his co stars with his secret talent - beatboxing.

Piers is yet to be permanently replaced, and Ben Shephard has been standing in for him temporarily, with Kate also hosting some shows alongside Susanna Reid.

According to reports, Alex has already received multiple lucrative offers from American news shows and major radio opportunities after the clip of him with Piers went viral.

The Sun alleged that there’s even a book deal on the table for the father-of-one, too.

A source told the publication: "He sees this as his chance to be a global star - he was featured on the Wendy Williams show and has featured extensively in the New York Times and LA Times.

"Alex has been so overwhelmed by the support he had to have a few days off work and he’s currently exploring all of his options."
