Piers Morgan has reignited his feud with GMB weatherman Alex Beresford and said he would 'cross continents to avoid him'. The TV presenter had an explosive on-air clash in 2021 with Alex, who accused Piers of 'trashing' Meghan Markle before he stormed off set.
Later that day, Piers quit the ITV breakfast show. Now, five years after the dramatic fallout, the journalist took to his YouTube show Piers Morgan Uncensored, and reflected on quitting his breakfast job. He said: 'You become part of a family. I see all my old - well, nearly all my old - Good Morning Britain colleagues.
' Taking a swipe at Alex, he continued: 'I don't see the weather guy very often. I would cross continents to avoid him.
'But the others, I do still see a lot of. You do become very close, actually.
' Piers Morgan has reignited his feud with GMB weatherman Alex Beresford and said he would 'cross continents to avoid him' (pictured on his YouTube show Piers Morgan Uncensored) The TV presenter had an explosive on-air clash in 2021 with Alex, who accused Piers of 'trashing' Megan Markle before he stormed off set (both pictured in 2021) During the famous GMB clash, Alex responded to Piers' claims that he used to talk to Meghan and she 'dropped him' once she started dating Prince Harry.
He said: 'I understand that you don't like Meghan Markle, you've made it so clear a number of times on this programme, and I understand you've got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle and she cut you off.
' Alex told Piers: 'She's entitled to cut you off if she wants to' - prompting him to then storm off the GMB set. The following day, Piers was asked by Tucker Carlson how he felt after he stormed off set, when his co-host Susanna Reid apologised for his behaviour.
'It seems like you have affection for her,' Tucker said. Piers replied: 'I was disappointed, but she might have done it in the grip of fear, that if she spoke too highly in favour of me, the same thing might happen to her. There would be a huge Twitter pile-on. By an orchestrated mob.
' The former editor of the Daily Mirror also said he doubted that Meghan had been subjected to racist coverage by the British Press. Later that day, Piers quit the ITV breakfast show Morgan set off a social media firestorm after the Oprah interview when he said he 'didn't believe a word' of what Meghan said about experiencing racism within the Royal Family Piers told Tucker: 'Contrary to what many Americans have been led to believe, the press coverage of these two right up to the wedding was completely over-the-top euphoric.
Everyone in Britain was thrilled that finally we were having a non-white bride in the royal family, it hadn't happened.
'We were all very happy about this. I wrote about how wonderful it was on the wedding day.
'This narrative from the start that she was bombarded with horrible, hateful, racist press coverage is another disingenuous load of nonsense fuelled by the Oprah Winfrey show where they flashed up a series of headlines, many of which had been deliberately cut to create a misconstrued impression, and many were actually American tabloids not British. 'But no, this narrative had to be believed, that Meghan Markle was targeted for her skin color by the beastly British tabloids.
'I never saw that, I don't believe that, I'm a former British tabloid editor myself and I would know if there was racist coverage in the British papers and there wasn't. 'There may have been on social media because that's a cesspit, we know that, but I didn't see it in the mainstream British Press.
' In his bombshell interview, Piers accused Meghan and Harry of 'complete hypocrisy' over their interview with Oprah and of the 'most extraordinarily disingenuous smear, hit job' on the royal family. Piers also said he has the backing of the public, telling Tucker: 'Old, young, black, white, it didn't matter. They've been coming up to me in their droves all day every day.
' The former GMB host said people either agree with his comments on Meghan or defended his right to free speech. 'The British people have seen through this,' he told Tucker.
Morgan sat down for his own tell-all with Tucker Carlson just days after his GMB exit, where he vowed to reveal 'MY truth' about the controversy surrounding his criticism of Meghan and Harry that led to his departure from the ITV show Piers said he has had a 'lot' of job offers since leaving Good Morning Britain and explored the circumstances surrounding his departure. He admitted that he should not have walked off the set during his row with Beresford, but said he 'didn't particularly like' Reid's apology for him.
However, Piers went on: 'I honestly think she was in the grip of fear. I think she was fearful that if she went too far in saying nice things about me, the same thing might happen to her, that there would be a huge Twitter pile on
