GMB star confirms future on ITV after major milestone as Kate Garraway 'sorry'

Good Morning Britain's Alex Beresford has proudly affirmed his commitment to ITV as he celebrated a tremendous milestone of 20 years with the network.

The weather presenter, known for the infamous moment when Piers Morgan stomped off the set, leading to his departure from the show, shared that working at ITV has been the "only full-time job" he has ever had. During a heartwarming reflection with hosts Adil Ray and Kate Garraway, Alex reminisced about the early days of his career.

Adil kicked off the tribute by saying: "Now it's a very special day for someone today. You won't believe it, looking at them, that they've been around this long, but Alex is celebrating 20 years at ITV. Unbelievable, incredible."

With a nod to Alex's age-defying appearance, Adil quipped: "He started when he was five years old, everyone."

Kate joined in on the fun, adding: "I think we might have one of his earliest moments on ITV, I'm sorry Alex!", reports the Mirror.

Viewers were treated to footage of a younger Alex in a snazzy pastel pink shirt and tie delivering the forecast, as well as a charming throwback of him wielding a vintage flip phone in a report. However, Alex revealed that not everything went smoothly fashion-wise early on, stating, "Let me tell you, my wardrobe was absolutely terrible when I first started. I didn't have a clue what I was doing."

"In fact it was the very editor of this programme, Neil Thompson, who actually pulled me aside one day when I was about to start presenting the national weather, and he said, 'Alex, we need to talk about your suits'. I needed help and luckily he stepped in and had a little word in my ear. So thank you Neil!" the weatherman revealed.

Adil then turned his attention to Alex's future, asking: "Another 20 years?"

Alex was quick to confirm he has no plans to step down, gushing: "I've got another 20 years in me, yeah, yeah."

He added: "It's the only full-time job I've ever had. My first job."

The meteorologist later took to X, formerly Twitter, to share more comments on his milestone, telling his co-stars: "Thank you. It's been an incredible 2 decades, but let's address that tie and those eyebrows!"

Fans were quick to congratulate him, with one tweeting: "20 years! ! ! Where has the time gone? Alex, have you still got that pink shirt your first wore on ITV West Country? Here's to the next 20+ years on ITV!"

The official ITV account wrote: "Happy ITV-ersary Alex! We loved those suits."

Another fan added: "Congratulations Alex, you don't look a day older."
