The couple, who are known for being wellness gurus, had been enjoying a holiday together in India and had be due to return to London.
Alex, who has hosted Fiongal and Jamie at his own retreats, has now spoken of his heartbreak in a message on Instagram.
Tagging in his girlfriend Helen Wood, Alex wrote: “A bit lost for words and feeling a tad emotionally exhausted so I just want to write a short message so as to get the message out.
“Our lovely friends Fiongal & Jamie were very sadly killed yesterday in the plane crash in India.
“There’s a lot more I want to say about them, as they were very close to @Hannah_woood & I’s heart but right now I just wanted to say that if anybody wants to meet up tomorrow if they’re feeling heavy, sad or just wanna hang out with some other humans I’m gonna be organising a little meet up & hug in the park or along the lines (sorry not making loads of sense atm).
“It feels like there’s a lot of sadness and pain at the moment and just wanted to do something as a vigil to our friends but also for everything else going on at the moment.
“So please if you’re feeling down or even just up for hanging out or just saying hey, it’ll be a bunch of us just chatting and chilling in the park.”
The Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner with 242 passengers on board – including 53 Brits – smashed into a doctors’ hostel in Ahmedabad in the west of India yesterday.
The plane was headed to London Gatwick when it crashed just moments after take-off.
Brit man, Ajay Kumar Vishwash, 40, cheated death after jumping off the flaming jet – walking away with minor injuries. He is believed to be the sole survivor of the catastrophe.
Earlier this year, the wellness brand founded by 39-year-old Fiongal and Jamie, 45, was promoted on This Morning.
Fiongal appeared on the ITV daytime show earlier this year.
Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond paid tribute to the couple at the start of Friday’s episode.
Dermot explained that Fiongal “appeared on This Morning twice this year” adding: “We loved his energy that he brought to the studio.
“Fiongal was on board the plane with his husband.”
Dermot then spoke about how the couple shared videos online before they boarded plane.
“Our thoughts and our prayers go to their loved ones and all those affected by this terrible tragedy.”
Former This Morning editor Martin Frizell has also shared a moving tribute.
Sharing a snap of Fiongal posing with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley from the show online, Martin penned: “So so sad to hear that Fiongal Greenlaw Meek and his partner are reported to be among the passengers and crew killed today on board the Air India flight bound for Gatwick.
“I remember his visit to the studio in January, he was passionate about auras and although I’m a sceptical sort his vibrancy and sheer enthusiasm won folk over.”
He continued: “And I know for a fact that he hoped to use his appearance on This Morning to build his Wellness brand, he had a great future ahead of him.
“Thoughts are with his family and friends and those of his partner Jamie.”
