Good Morning Britain star announces baby news and says it's the 'greatest gift'
Good Morning Britain host Alex Beresford has announced he's expecting a baby with his wife Imogen McKay and posted a gorgeous photo showing him cradling her bump. Alongside the snap he wrote: "The greatest gift. In awe of my beautiful wife growing Baby B. We can’t wait to meet you. x"
The baby will be Alex's second child as he's already dad to son Cruz, from his first marriage. Some of his GMB colleagues - including Susanna Reid and Charlotte Hawkins - were the first to comment on the post and congratulate the weatherman. Susanna wrote: "The best news - huge congratulations to you all" and it was quickly followed up by Charlotte, who commented: "Ahh massive congratulations!!!".
Other celebrity friends of the pair, who met on a blind date in 2020, were also quick to congratulate them, with Loose Women's Charlene White writing: "So excited for you both!!!", and GMB doctor, Dr Amir Khan, describing it as "wonderful news".

Alex met Imogen in August 2020 after his first marriage to Natalia Natkaniec broke down in 2019 - and the pair started living separately in 2020 just before the first Covid began. After dating for just over two years, Imogen and Alex, who is celebrating 10 years on GMB this year, tied the knot in a beautiful clifftop ceremony at the Son Marroig estate on the island of Majorca in September 19, 2022.
The ITV star, who took part in last year's series of Celebrity Race Across the World with his dad Noel, invited son Cruz, then aged 12, to be the couple's ring bearer and his "mini best man".
Last year viewers saw Alex tackle the journey from Marrakesh in Morocco to Tromso in Norway with dad Noel on Race Across the World, against the likes of Harry Judd and Melanie Blatt. At the time, he revealed he originally wanted to take restaurant manager Imogen with him, but was worried they might "snap at each other" when things got tense.
Speaking ahead of the series, he revealed: "My wife Imogen really wanted to come, but we’d only been married for four or five weeks,” he said. “I thought that would be a lot of pressure to put our relationship under – we might snap at each other more.
"Whereas with my dad, I knew there was going to be that level of respect. There's only so far you can push it before he gives me a clip around the ear!"
The 43-year-old TV star took off on the trek just weeks after marrying Imogen, and later said it was difficult leaving his newleywed bubble so soon after saying 'I Do'. ""The biggest challenge was not having phones. I wasn't able to talk to my wife or my son and I was constantly wondering where they were and what they were doing,
"That was the hardest thing because I'd never been away and I'd only just gotten married as well. To get married and then go, 'Bye!' - it was tough on both sides."
