Good Morning Britain ’s weatherman Alex Beresford made an exciting career move today, presenting the show for the first time.
However, he revealed the hours before his presenting stint were sleepless ones, after spending the evening in a hotel.
The 39-year-old weather expert explained the couple in the room next to him fought all night, leaving him struggling to sleep.
He said: “So I checked into the hotel yesterday, all was fine, and then at about one-o’clock this morning, a couple next door decided to have a row about whose career was more important.
“And I wanted to knock on the door and say, ‘Actually I’ve got a pretty big job tomorrow myself!'”

Alex joined Kate Garraway on the news desk, replacing Ben Shephard after his unexpected exit last week.
Since her GMB return last month, Kate has been joined by pal Ben on Monday and Tuesday mornings, presenting the first two instalments of the week.
However, last week, Ben announced he would be taking a break from the show to focus on his other TV series, Tipping Point.
In the hot seat today, Kate congratulated Alex on his presenting debut, saying: “Everyone’s loving you here at the desk!”

He added: “I’ve got big shoes to fill.”
