Piers Morgan is renewing his long-running feud with former Good Morning Britain weatherman Alex Beresford, five years after an on-air confrontation that led Beresford to leave the ITV show. Across reports, Morgan is described as referencing the earlier fallout and saying he would “cross continents” to avoid Beresford. The renewed comments revive attention on a 2021 incident during a broadcast, when Beresford accused Morgan of “trashing” Meghan Markle. The dispute escalated on air and Beresford is reported to have stormed off set following the exchange.
The outlets agree that the latest remarks come after a period of time since the original clash and are presented as part of a renewed public back-and-forth between the two media figures. The reports also frame Beresford’s GMB exit as closely tied to the 2021 incident, while Morgan’s comments are portrayed as emphasizing personal distance from Beresford rather than introducing new events beyond the resurfacing of the earlier dispute.
