Alex Beresford wants to crack America after 'overwhelming' support

Good Morning Britain's weatherman Alex Beresford could be heading to the States, according to reports.

This comes after the Los Angeles Times asked America to "start talking" about the Bristol born TV presenter after he challenged Piers Morgan's views on Meghan Markle.

He's also featured on the Wendy Williams show and in the New York Times.

A source explained to The Sun : "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."

Another source explained to the paper: "Alex has been inundated with messages of support from A-list stars close to Meghan including Beyoncé’s mum Tina who has been messaging him and even Oprah has reached out by following him on Twitter.

"He has since told his agent Jonathan Shalit he wants to crack America, and is adamant he won’t be on breakfast TV or be the weatherman on GMB for the rest of his life.

"He’s had loads of celebs, call to congratulate him, and there have been A-listers who’ve even reached out which is really flattering.

"There’s one in particular who is very friendly with Harry and Meghan who was screaming at him down the phone telling how proud they all were of him."
