GOOD Morning Britain viewers have accused Alex Beresford of ‘shamelessly flirting’ with Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Strause.
The 39-year-old presenter interviewed the reality TV star, also 39, on today’s instalment of the ITV morning stalwart, and couldn’t help but tell her she’s his favourite star on her Netflix series.
He continued to flirt with the American star throughout their chat – offering her a trip to the UK for some tea and even joking about putting a deposit on a house with the real estate agent.
However, Alex’s flirtation reached a rib-tickling crescendo when he asked the Dancing With The Stars contestant if she preferred a man to have a “dad bod” or a six pack.
Although Chrishell discussed feuds with her Selling Sunset co-stars, the possibility of fourth series and addressed her divorce from Justin Hartley, viewers could only focus on Alex’s “shameless flirting”.
Taking to Twitter, a viewer wrote: “@alexberesfordTV shamelessly flirting with the American Doris on #gmb.”
“Alex will be sliding into Chrishell’s DM’s after this…” another joked.
A third remarked: “@alexberesfordTV trying to flirt with @Chrishell7 on #GMB! Just ask her Alex!”
Alex revealed that he had secretly split from his wife Natalia back in June, admitting that he felt “really lonely” after the break-up in an interview for the Britain Get Talking podcast.
And Selling Sunset fans saw Chrishell’s shock and despair as her actor husband Justin filed for divorce, apparently informing her via text message.
Last month, Alex revealed his regrets after being “fatfished” by a woman on a dating app.
The presenters were discussing various forms of catfishing on dating apps – where people pretend to be someone or something else to get dates.
However, Sean Fletcher encouraged his colleague Alex to speak about his dating app experience – and the ITV weatherman said he was “fatfished”.
Alex said he turned up to the date 15 years ago after meeting the woman online, but her pictures were not an accurate representation.
He told Sean and Ranvir Singh: “When their pictures are just from the shoulders up, alarm bells start ringing.”
The star added: “So I turned up for a date – this is about 15 years ago – and she was a lot different, a lot larger than she looked in her profile picture.”
Ranvir told him off, saying: “You sound really shallow now!”
Alex admitted that was the case, continuing: “It does sound shallow, but I guess that is what you call “fatfishing”, but I would rather have known from the get go.”
However, he later regretted his decision, adding: “Anyway to cut a long story short, I saw her on Instagram last week and she looked absolutely amazing!”
Sean then joked: “You missed a trick! Being shallow doesn’t pay!”
