Alex Beresford made a return to Good Morning Britain today, and he found himself in the seat of former GMB Presenter Piers Morgan.

Piers Morgan and Alex Beresford had a heated debate when they were last on air together, and Alex criticised Piers's comments towards Meghan and suggested that he was bitter after she 'cut him off '.These comments led Piers Morgan to storm off set, and he went on to resign from the show later that evening

.In light of Piers' departure, Alex shared a statement to his followers on social media and mentioned that his goal was not for Piers to leave the show."I hoped we could reach a place of understanding. It's sad that we weren't able to get there, but challenging his opinion was not an outrage.

On this occasion, we have to agree to disagree."I didn't want him to quit, but I did want him to listen.This morning, in reference to his own absence from the show, Alex said "It's good to be back".Kate went on to respond by saying: You've had tumultuous times as well Alex, it's lovely to have you here, it very much is".ITV are yet to announce a permanent replacement for Piers. However, Alex Beresford has been speculated by many as one of the candidates for the role.
