Alex Beresford

Whilst at University Alex Beresford had his first taste of presenting on a programme called Curriculum Bites on BBC2 - a spin-off of BBC Bite Size. The series was aimed at students studying for GCSE's and is currently still used in schools today.

It wasn't long after finishing his degree in English Studies and Performance Art Alex joined ITV as an autocue operator but then the opportunity arose to present the weather on weekends, which he trained for, and it wasn't long before he was appearing on the main news programme as the weather forecast presenter on ITV Bristol every weekday at 6pm.

Soon after, Alex Beresford joined the network team presenting the national forecast on the main channel, ITV. Since taking on the bigger role, Alex has appeared a number of times on ITV's This Morning covering headline stories such as ‘Frozen Britain' to the more light hearted task of reviewing camping tents with TV personality Louie Spence.

Alex can also be seen presenting the early morning weather on ITV's flagship breakfast programme Good Morning Britain, often out and about on location during the summer. He is also the resident weatherman on ITV’s Evening News.

He’s the face of Channel 4’s popular returning series World’s Weirdest Weather and Britain’s Most Extreme Weather. One of Alex’s highlights so far was being flown out to America by Channel 4 straight after an EF5 Tornado hit Oklahoma back in 2013 to make fast turnaround documentary Super Tornado on the devastating after affects that destroyed a city.

Alex has recently started to report and present for ITV’s long-standing current affairs programme Tonight. He also reached the semi-finals of Dancing on Ice on ITV1 in 2018.

Away from the cameras Alex can often be found at a school or college delivering inspirational talks to young people across the country. His natural passion to inspire the next generation landed Alex being awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Philosophy and was also selected as a National Black Role Model in 2008 by the Governments Reach Role Model Programme.

Alex was recently seen in Soccer Aid companion show On Yer Bike!, and alongside his ITV co-host Rea Hebden on ITV travelogue All Around Britain which aired from 2020-2021.

Alex Beresford would say he's a bit of a daredevil and has taken on challenges from jumping out of a hot air balloon at 10,000ft of course with a parachute to doing loop the loops whilst Wing Walking for the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.

Not just limited to presenting the weather Alex has interviewed a number of celebrities from Olly Murs to JLS. He secretly has a passion for music having been part of a group in a former life and still does music in his spare time as part of writing duo GuBerry.
