Good Morning Britain: Alex Beresford's dad lives 'his absolute best life' at Glastonbury

Weather presenter Alex Beresford has shared a sweet image of his dad enjoying his time at Glastonbury Festival over the weekend. The Good Morning Britain star took to Twitter yesterday (June 28) to share the photo with fans, which showed his dad singing at the front of a crowd, with his arms up.

41-year-old Alex, who grew up in Eastville, wrote on Twitter: "When your dad is at the front @glastonbury living his absolute best life. Love love love my Dad."

Alex's dad can be seen having a whale of a time in a moment which was broadcast as part of the Somerset festival's BBC coverage. It is unknown which set Alex's dad was watching, but plenty of the Bristolian's fans have taken to the comments to show support for his father's enjoyment.

Quinzi wrote: "That’s so nice to see! We have one life we have to make the most of it! Enjoy!"

"Ah I love this." Sue Z said. "Young people forget we all had "our music" from whatever decade.

"Mine was late70s/early 80s soul/jazz funk. I get so many odd looks at weddings etc when I jump up to dance to something. But that's MY music, it doesn't belong to the youngsters!"

Chris Morton said: "Didn’t you fancy going with him ? Hes definitely living his best life"

Back in April, Alex announced that he was engaged to his partner, Imogen McKay, after dating for nearly two years. The pair started going out in August 2020, with Alex popping the question to Imogen on New Year's Day 2022 on a beach in Majorca.

Alex and Imogen started dating after being introduced by a mutual friend. The Bristolian told HELLO! Magazine: "I’d been on my own for a while and was ready for a new relationship.

"But I was adamant I didn’t want to try a dating website. I’m of an age where before social media, you met a girl, took her phone number and called to invite her out."

Reflecting on the early days of their relationship in 2020, Alex said: "We hit it off from the start.

"We talked every day about our shared values and goals, and our love for our families. We’ve always been on the same page."

McKay, 29, grew up in Australia and works in e-commerce operations for a top London restaurant. She revealed that she had never seen Beresford on television before meeting him and refrained from looking him up beforehand as she wanted to find out for herself what he was like.

Before their engagement, Alex and Imogen endured a long distance relationship between Bristol and London. It was on a beach in Majorca that Alex decided to ask Imogen to marry him.

He said: "The weather was sunny and warm, and the sea was crystal clear. ‘This is it,’ I thought. Imogen’s not one for taking photos, but as I persuaded her to pose for a picture overlooking the sea, I kneeled down to take the engagement ring I’d hidden inside my rucksack.

“When she turned around, I was on one knee, and asked her the biggest question of my life – and she said yes. It was an amazing moment."

Alex and Imogen are planning on returning to Majorca in September to tie the knot in the presence of 100 family members and friends. Beresford’s 12-year-old son Cruz, from his previous marriage with Natalia Natkaniec, will act as ring bearer and best man.
