Piers Morgan says he had to walk off Good Morning Britain to avoid headbutting “deputy stand-in weather guy” Alex Beresford.
The pair got into a row after Piers questioned Meghan Markle ’s honesty in her Oprah interview.
Speaking at an awards ceremony, he said: “I shouldn’t have walked off when I did... because the deputy stand-in weather guy says something annoying.
“It was either that or give him a Glasgow kiss. I decided that wouldn’t go down very well.”
Piers, 56, hasn’t spoken to Alex, 40, since because “he was annoying enough when I worked with him – why would I bother now?” He also said he rarely watches the ITV show now.
But he added: “I want them to be successful. I put my heart and soul into it for five years. Obviously it’s different without me – they have to try to struggle by somehow.”
Speaking after being named best news presenter at the TV and Radio Industries Club awards, he said news of his next “adventure” was imminent.
Later it was confirmed he will front a prime slot on Talk TV, which launches next year.
