Alex Beresford hints he'll quit GMB after winning All Star Musicals

Alex Beresford has said that he's eyeing up a career in the West End - hinting that he could quit his job at ITV.

Last night, viewers watched as GMB weather reporter Alex was crowned the winner of All Star Musicals after wowing with his Hamilton performance.

The 41-year-old had impressed the judges with his rendition of My Shot, but was left utterly stunned after winning the show.

Joining presenters Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley and showbiz correspondent Vick Hope on Good Morning Britain, he was quizzed on his potential theatre future .

Vick had asked: "Do you think you'll be swapping you day job on the news..."

He replied: "Well, if Lynn needs me on Broadway I might be there for one shot..."

Later, Richard asked him again whether he would be interested and Alex replied more seriously: "One thing I will say is doing All Star Musicals, I loved so much - it's one night, isn't it? And it left me wanting more. So who knows?"

Speaking after the show last night, Alex was asked how it felt to win and he replied: "It felt absolutely amazing. It was surreal.

"We were all standing there on stage and waiting for them to call a name and when I heard Al.. I was like 'oh my God, it’s me' and it was just the best feeling in the world. I’ve never won anything like that before.

"After my performance when I was listening to the judge's comments, they were saying such lovely things and it just really touched me and my eyes welled up. I was holding my tears back- I didn't want to blub on national television!" he added.

Alex continued: "The whole experience was amazing. Although, I thought we were going to rehearse more. The best thing that I did was I just rehearsed at home all the time. I think that’s the difference.

"When I did Dancing On Ice you can only rehearse on the ice really, whereas this was something that I can do in my own time. I would run through my performance all the time, I even did it in the shower!"

*Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV
