Ahead of his appearance on Lorraine this morning, Piers revealed in a new interview that he believed Alex was after his “moment of fame” and that their altercation had been rehearsed ahead of time.Piers, 57, dramatically exited the set of Good Morning Britain in March 2021 after Alex, 41, slammed his attitude towards Meghan Markle.The journalist has now claimed that the weatherman had an ulterior motive for calling him out. “Apparently he was heard out the back rehearsing his lines,” Piers said. “Clearly wanted to have his little YouTube moment of fame, and that’s fine. “I know he was planning a Hollywood career,” he continued brazenly. “I’m not quite sure how it’s going; I’ve not heard any updates.”Express.co.uk have contacted Alex’s representatives for comment.Early last year Meghan, 40, claimed that racist treatment she received while working as a senior member of the royal family left her feeling suicidal in a sit down interview with her husband Prince Harry, 37, and TV’s Oprah Winfrey. Questioning the credibility of the Duchess of Sussex’s claims, Piers told 1.9 million GMB viewers at the time: “I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word she said, Meghan Markle.  “I wouldn’t believe it if she read me a weather report.”Alex went on to suggest Piers’ response was due to him having some sort of personal vendetta against Meghan. During the exchange, Alex said: "I understand you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle, or had one, and she cut you off."She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to.
