Good Morning Britain's Alex Beresford left his wife Imogen "upset" after snubbing her from his new show.
The meteorologist swapped the TV studio for travel as he appeared in the latest series of Celebrity Race Across the World. The show follows celebs leaving their mobile phones and credit cards behind to travel thousands of miles in an effort to win £20,000.
However, instead of taking Imogen along for the ride, he chose to take his dad Noel instead. He explained that he thought it was an opportunity to spend more time with his dad but admitted that his wife wasn't too pleased with him.
Explaining why he didn't choose his wife to join him, Alex told Radio Times: "You don’t get to spend this sort of time with your parents as an adult. Imogen was upset, as she loves travelling and she’s a fan of the show. But, as much as I love her and spending time with her, I’m not sure this was the honeymoon she’d want! With hindsight, I think I made the right decision."
Alex invited his dad on the trip (BBC/Studio Lambert Ltd/Pete Dadds)Alex admitted his dad wasn't impressed with the choice of accommodation while filming the show. He said: "I was surprised when Dad kicked off about some sub-par accommodation, as normally I’d be the one to complain. But I was just thinking of the budget!"

While on the show Alex said he didn't enjoy the fact he wasn't able to get in instant contact with his wife and son, after this phone was taken away from him at Gatwick airport. He said there was a "fine line between panic and excitement". Celebrity Race Across the World will see four pairs of celebrities take a journey across 24 countries from Morocco to Norway.
Alex shares a son named Cruz with his first wife Natalia Beresford, but the pair split in 2019. He then got married for a second time to Imogen in 2022 in a romantic clifftop temple in Majorca.
The pair first began dating back in August 2020 after a mutual friend set them up on a blind date. They got engaged on New Year's Day in 2021 as Alex got down on one knee on a beach in Deia, Mallorca.
