GMB’s Alex Beresford returns to present the weather for the first time since his marriage split and brings his dog

GOOD Morning Britain’s Alex Beresford returned to present the weather for the first time since his marriage split - and brought his dog along with him.

The 39-year-old meteorologist is single after secretly splitting from his wife Natalia earlier this year.

On telly this morning, Alex said his cavapoo Peaches had been a "comfort" after admitting he felt "really lonely" after his break up.

In an interview for the Britain Get Talking podcast, Alex admitted that he "never imagined" he'd be single as he approached 40 years old.

But he put on a brave face today as he got back to work after explaining his single status.

He introduced viewers to his pet after Ranvir Singh revealed her family are picking up a cockapoo puppy tomorrow morning.

The GMB favourite said on the podcast about his break up: "It's been a massive learning curve, I didn't think at the age of 20 that when I was approaching 40, I would be in this situation.

"The age of 40, you'll be married, you'll be a grown up, you'll have a kid or two, your life is going to be set. I'm not old, I don't feel old, it's a bit daunting.

"But we've been in lockdown, so even if I wanted to go on a date, I couldn't go on a date.

"I don't want to grow old on my own, life is for sharing and it'd be great to meet someone in the future but they have to be right for me, right for Cruz."

Alex and Natalia share a 10-year-old son called Cruz.
