Since 2005 Alex has been part of the weather team and his responsibilities also stretch across ITV Network Weather and Good Morning Britain.

He’s also presented a number of weather documentaries on Channel 4, and can be seen presenting ITV’s Tonight programme.

On Tuesday's GMB, Piers pointed out that he had asked for Alex to be on the show due to a "thoughtful text" he'd received from the star.

However, he took issue with Alex making things "personal" in their row - which Alex strongly denied.

Speaking about why he was sticking up for Prince Harry and Meghan on Tuesday Alex said: "They have had an overwhelming amount of negative press.

"I watched the programme yesterday and yes, they had some great press around the wedding but what press is going to trash someone's special day?

"There was bad press around the engagement, before the engagement, and everything that has followed since has been incredibly damaging, quite clearly to Meghan's mental health and also to Harry."

He continued to Piers: "I understand that you don't like Meghan Markle, you've made it so clear a number of times on this programme.
