ITV Good Morning Britain's Alex Beresford marries in stunning Majorca ceremony two years after blind date

Good Morning Britian star Alex Beresford has tied the knot with fiancee Imogen McKay in a stunning ceremony. The ITV news show's weatherman and his new wife were introduced on a blind date in August 2020 after being set up by a mutual friend.

Alex, 41, revealed he had proposed to Imogen, 29, in April, explaining he popped the question on New Year’s Day while the couple were walking along the beach in Majorca.

Alex's 12-year-old son Cruz, from a former relationship, acted as ring bearer and “mini best man” while the presenter’s brother and cousin were ushers, and his best friends – both called Leon – were the best men. Imogen's sisters – Helena and Georgia – were bridesmaids and led the bridal procession down the aisle to the foot of a white marble temple where the ceremony was held.

Speaking to Hello! magazine about the wedding, which involved a clifftop ceremony at the Son Marroig estate, Beresford said: "I was blown away by the beauty of it all. One of my cousins said it was like being in a movie and it really was. It was incredible from start to finish. But most importantly, it was where I was marrying the woman I love."

Imogen, who grew up in Australia and works in e-commerce operations for a London restaurant, said: "I couldn’t wait to marry Alex,” she said. "Seeing him and all our loved ones in that incredible setting made me feel so emotional."

Alex added: "When I turned to watch Imogen walking towards me, my heart skipped a beat. She looked amazing. So classically beautiful and exactly as I’d imagined.”

The wedding day coincided with the Queen’s funeral on September 19, and Alex said he paid his respects to the late monarch that morning. "I woke up super early and watched the start of it (the funeral) on TV in a cafe in the village," Alex explained. "It was my way of paying tribute to Her Majesty."

Alex was now famously involved in the on-air row with former GMB co-star Piers Morgan over the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey that lead to Morgan storming off set and quitting the daytime ITV show in 2021.

The full interview with Alex Beresford is available in Hello! magazine, out now.
