She showed her support for her co-host, hinting at his clash with Piers as she talked about “tumultuous times”.Kate told him: “And you’ve had tumultuous times as well Alex, it’s lovely to have you here, it very much is”
Alex replied: “It’s good to be back.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s
Oprah Winfrey interview.
Alex branded Piers “pathetic” and called out his “diabolical behaviour” as he dramatically walked off the show.
After Alex pointed out Piers’ past friendship with Meghan – and the fact she had subsequently “cut him off” – it all proved a bit too much for the host.
Following the heated debate, Alex tweeted: “I wish I had the privilege to sit on the fence. In order for me to do that I would have to strip myself of my identity and that’s not something I can do.
“It’s not any of our places to pick apart claims of
racism in order to make us to feel more comfortable.”
Piers subsequently quit the morning show, which Alex admitted he didn’t want him to do.
Alex said at the time: “I didn’t want him to quit, but I did want him to listen. Personally, Piers has always supported my growth. He’s given me advice on several occasions and for that I am grateful. I wish him well.”
