The host quit his job as a result of the confrontation.
On Tuesday afternoon, the British TV channel ITV announced that host Piers Morgan (55) has decided to leave the program «Good Morning Britain». This is due to the fact that he stormed out of the studio the same day in the middle of the broadcast.
The host then left the studio after being confronted with criticism of Duchess Meghan (39) by the TV show’s weather presenter, Alex Beresford (40). The day before, during Monday’s broadcast of the program, Morgan stated, among other things, that he was in doubt whether the Duchess was telling the truth when she told that she had struggled with suicidal thoughts.

– I understand that you have a personal relationship with Meghan Markle – or that you had one, and she cut you off. She has the right to cut you out if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you out? I do not think she has it, but you keep talking shit about her, Alex Bereford whispered.
Piers Morgan chose to respond by storming out of the studio:
Several conflicts with Morgan
In a short time, Alex Beresford was mentioned in the media around the world, and many are now curious about who he is.
The 40-year-old worked for a long time behind the scenes in TV production before he became a weather presenter in 2005. He has had the job in “Good Morning Britain” since starting in 2014, writes Page Six.
He has also previously discussed with Morgan.
In 2019, the host went hard on men who carry their children in slings after seeing a picture of the actor Daniel Craig (53) with his newborn child in a sling.
Beresford could then tell that he too had used a baby carrier with his son, to which the 55-year-old replied the following:
– If these are the men of the future, we are dead.

As a result of the discussion, “Good Morning Britain” ran a poll among its viewers about who was most attractive: Beresford with a baby carrier – or Piers Morgan without.
The 55-year-old himself then thought that “every woman with a brain” would choose him, but he lost superiorly.
In bad weather after date history
However, Alex Bereford himself has also received his dose of criticism through, according to Yahoo News.
In August 2020, he told of a date from 15 years back in time where he became what he himself described as “fat-fished” – a pun on the term “cat-fished”, which means that you are tricked by someone online to believe that you are talking to someone else.
During a broadcast of “Good Morning Britain”, he said, among other things, that the woman he was to meet had only shared a picture of his face, and that “the alarm bells should start ringing” in that the picture she shared did not show anything from the shoulders down .

– So I met up for a date, maybe 15 years ago, and she looked completely different. Much larger than in the profile picture.
Bereford was then confronted with being superficial by a colleague, whereupon he agreed and stated:
– It sounds superficial, but I think it is what you can call “fat-fishing”.
The statements did not go down well with the viewers, and Bereford then went out on Twitter and defended himself.
