Well I actually missed it, but have just been shown the vid of Alex Beresford giving his take on Meghan & Harry, I must say I don’t think it’s done Piers any favours upping and walking off like that

Apparently he has left GMB according to ITV statement at 18.22

Hé stated his ‘decision to leave’, accepted by ITV, not as in resigned, I assume he has a contract. Are their ratings low ?

Piers Morgan leaving ITV
In a short statement, ITV said it had accepted Piers Morgan's decision to leave Good Morning Britain.

The statement said: "Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain.

"ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add."

Imagine doing this because someone wouldnt go to the pub with you again.

Urmstongran Tue 09-Mar-21 18:34:11

Perhaps Alex Beresford will apply for the vacancy?

Good replacement choice. Cool and collected even in the face of white privileged wrath.

He’s Quit
41.000 complaints
?????

Oldwoman70 Tue 09-Mar-21 18:48:33

Did he resign or was he pushed? My guess is that he saw the writing on the wall and resigned before he was sacked, with 41,000 complaints ITV would have had little choice. Perhaps the Daily Mail will also set him adrift now

GrannyGravy13 Tue 09-Mar-21 18:49:52

My money is on him going to the new news channel GB news(?)

Piers Morgan thinks he is above all others. He is an arrogant bigot. I’m not keen on Alex either. As someone else said why is the weather man getting involved with the main presenters and ticking them off. He’s getting above himself too.

Alex is an anti racism campaigner, a close family member was stabbed and died in London last year.

All of the GMB weather reporters are generally involved with items on GMB other than the weather.

I don’t watch GMB because I can’t bear PM or Susanah Reid. I have seen a clip of the performance this morning.
In my opinion Piers Morgan is a nasty egotistical oaf. I think the weatherman came across as a calm, intelligent man.
This is not about race,
PM is an oaf. Alex is a gentleman.

I seem to remember a chap called Sean Fletcher on one of the morning shows. I thought he was lovely. Is he with ITV?

I think he is married to Anjelica Bell who is on with Martin Lewis, he is now a full time teacher.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 09-Mar-21 19:08:04

Sorry posted prematurely, yes he was on ITV Breakfast news several years ago.

LauraNorder Tue 09-Mar-21 19:08:37

Oh thanks GG, shame, he was very pleasant, professional and, dare I say, rather easy on the eye.

jane43 thank you, yes I totally got the wrong person , apologies folks.

Millie22 Tue 09-Mar-21 19:19:49

Never watch that Good Morning drivel and don't really know Alex the weatherman but now I really really like him. PM is just revolting.

Kate1949 Tue 09-Mar-21 19:20:02

I was just about to post that Jane43. I was reading about Michael yesterday.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 09-Mar-21 19:21:22

Obviously my trivia knowledge does not extend to getting peoples names correct.

LauraNorder Tue 09-Mar-21 19:23:02

So does that me that the delectable Sean Fletcher might be available? If so, I might start watching GMB, although that might mean waking up earlier.

LauraNorder Tue 09-Mar-21 19:29:29

Just googled him, he was a sports presenter on ITV some time ago but is mostly BBC.
Come on ITV make Sean Fletcher an offer.
