Piers Morgan shared all the snaps from his annual Christmas party, celebrating his talk show Uncensored - but ITV weatherman Alex Beresford was nowhere to be seen.
That was in spite of fellow weather presenter Laura Tobin being present, as well as Kate Garraway, Susanna Reid and Charlotte Hawkins, who were all smiles beside Piers at the bash. Piers left GMB back in 2021 after his incendiary comments about disbelieving Meghan Markle divided the nation.
He'd refused to apologise to her, citing an honestly held opinion, and came to blows with an angry Alex Beresford before storming out. Piers subsequently headed to TalkTV and has now transferred his talk show to YouTube, where it continues to bring in millions of followers.
"Can’t beat an Uncensored Christmas pub party.. Thanks to Jess and her wonderful staff @scarsdalew8 for another brilliant night," praised Piers as he took to Instagram for photos from the night. These featured Charlotte Hawkins in a green sequined mini dress, semi-sheer black tights and knee high boots, while Kate Garraway finally managed a smile in an all-red ensemble with a wine-coloured velvet blazer, following months of heartache after husband Derek Draper died.
Piers made mention of everyone in attendance in the caption, writing: "To all my eclectic guests, including veritable titans of telly, media and sport, for providing the sparkle, fuelled by Bolly and Bangers. What fun we had!"

As the post quickly racked up more than 32,000 likes, the comments section started to fill up - and some felt Alex Beresford's absence was glaringly obvious.
One cheekily quipped: "Alex couldn't make it!?", only for Piers to shoot back: "He wasn't.. *checks notes* .. invited!"
A second commenter chimed in: "Yep, that doesn’t go unnoticed. His loss", while a third mischievously added: "Good call."
Then someone swiped that they couldn't be too careful, knowing how "easily offended" Alex is.

Spirits ran high at Piers Morgan's party as the GMB stars reunited (Image: INSTAGRAM)

Other guests made no mention of him, with Charlotte Hawkins merely praising: "What a party!" before exchanging heart emojis with Britain's Got Talent's Bruno Tonioli.
Piers had branded Alex a "treacherous little p***k" in a BBC interview following his GMB departure, making it clear there was no love lost between the pair.
Alex had accused Piers of trying to "trash" Meghan Markle and branded him "diabolical" after he stormed off during a broadcast.
However, Piers explained: "I thought, 'There are two things that are going to happen here. Either I’m going to lose my rag and do something I regret, or I’m going to go and walk off.
"I don’t like to think about what I would have done. I was certainly looking at him thinking, ‘Yeah, I better leave the room.’”
