Good Morning Britain's weather presenter Alex Beresford has revealed he's NOT counting on the support of his colleague Piers Morgan when he begins Dancing On Ice.

Alex, 37, has revealed that he doesn't want Piers Morgan to back him when he begins the competition, due to air on Sunday 7 January at 6pm.

The TV hunk made the statement at the Dancing On Ice launch yesterday, held at the beautiful Ice Rink at the Natural History Museum.

After skating around a huge Christmas tree with his partner Brianne Delcourt, the pair almost took a tumble before Alex revealed his gameplan to Phillip Schofield.

Phillip Schofield said: "Can you rely on Piers Morgan for his support, or will he be voting for someone else?"

Alex cheekily said: "The thing with Piers is, if he supports you - no-one supports you.

"So what I really need is for him to continue hating me, then everyone will support me. That’s my plan of action!"
