PIERS Morgan has accused Alex Beresford of a ‘premeditated attack’ during their Meghan Markle clash on Good Morning Britain ahead of his shock exit.
The 56-year-old journalist sensationally quit Good Morning Britain on March 9 in the wake of Meghan and Prince Harry’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Before his exit, he clashed on air with GMB weatherman Alex, 40, and now Piers has claimed his colleagues’ comments were part of a “premeditated attack”.
During his hour-long interview with US television host Tucker Carlson, Piers opened up about what happened between him and Alex.
He said: “He is the stand in weather guy, he’s not a journalist, he’s someone I’ve helped in his career like he has asked me to.
“He sent me a private message in which he expressed some concern about what he felt I wasn’t really understanding about where Meghan Markle was coming from as a bi-racial woman.
“He is himself a bi-racial man so he wanted to explain so I said come on air, let’s have the conversation.
“But the moment he came on air, he came with a pretty premeditated attack on me on a pretty personal level and frankly I just wasn’t going to have it.
“I walked off… I was quite angry in the moment, he claimed that I have a personal vendetta against Meghan Markle, which I don’t.”
During the 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.”
He told Morgan: “She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to.”
This prompted a dramatic exit from Piers, who stormed off the set.
Alex called it “‘pathetic”, and “diabolical behaviour”.
