Alex Beresford follows back Amy Hart live on air

Alex Beresford followed Amy Hart back on social media live on air as Kate Garraway continues to try to set them up.

The ‘Good Morning Britain’ star had been left flustered on Thursday (20.08.20) when co-host Kate Garraway played matchmaker by announcing live on air that the ‘Love Island’ beauty was waiting for him to return the favour.

After initially promising to check out her profile, the 39-year-old weatherman forgot and Kate was not giving up on the chance for them to find love.

During Friday’s (21.08.20) show, Kate revealed: "It’s lovely when people get in touch online, isn’t it?

"Remember yesterday, Amy Hart, we were talking about how she had a massive crush on our Alex. But she pointed out that Alex hadn’t actually followed her back. She got in touch with you on Instagram, hadn’t she?"

Alex sheepishly replied: "Yeah, I am actually gonna follow her back right now."

Kate squealed: "Oh my god! You didn’t even do it after yesterday. I thought I was really unsubtle in telling you to crack on."

Alex whipped out his phone, saying: "I’m typing it in right now, ok? There she is. I’ve followed back."

However, Amy had already been in touch with Kate after Alex forgot to follow her after Thursday’s edition of the ITV breakfast show, and decided to leave him a little reminder.

In a video clip, she said: "Hi Alex, it’s only Aims. Now I hear through the grapevine that Kate’s trying to set us up.

"I know you’re very busy after becoming a main anchor for the week on the nation’s very television programme. But I’m ready for the follow back whenever it comes, darling. Speak to you soon!"

Following the clip, Kate wondered what Alex thought of the 27-year-old reality star and if he would send her a message later.

She quizzed: "What do you think? Will you maybe have a slide into the DMs later?"

Alex blushed: "What time is it? It’s a bit early to slide in, isn’t it?"

His co-star cheekily replied: "Is it? Amy, don’t worry! I’m working on it for you."
