Alex Beresford finally responds to Piers Morgan after their feud

The GMB weatherman called out Morgan for "trashing" Meghan Markle, causing him to leave the set and the show.

Alex Beresford has been applauded for speaking out against Piers Morgan after his rant on Megan Markle earlier this week. https://twitter.com/alexberesfordTV/status/1369268366586839041?s=20 Some people have even called for him to replace the former presenter as co-host. Equally, at least 80,000 people have signed a petition to have Piers reinstated, although he wasn't sacked, he quit. Nevertheless, after having responded to Morgan's initial storm off mid-programme, Beresford took to Twitter once again. This time, he chose to issue a fuller, more diplomatic statement. Beresford begins by saying that this "sincerely wasn't the conclusion [he] was hoping for". However, despite their usual "lively, cheeky, on-air relationship [...] both knew how strongly [their] opinions differed". He goes on to say: "I hoped we could reach a place of understanding. It's sad we weren't able to get there, but challenging his opinion wasn't an outrage". He closed his statement by reiterating that he "didn't want him to quit, but [he] did want him to listen". He also thanked him for support and advice over the years, in addition to wishing him well. https://twitter.com/alexberesfordTV/status/1370013150876164100
