The enduring rivalry between Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson is a well-known saga in the entertainment industry, culminating in a physical altercation at the Press Awards in 2004. Piers, aged 60, recently shed light on the incident that left him with a lasting scar on his forehead after being punched by Jeremy, aged 65.
The animosity between the two TV hosts spanned a decade, marked by constant jabs and even physical violence. Jeremy reportedly struck Piers at the Press Awards due to published photos showing him in a compromising situation with someone other than his wife, as revealed by Piers.
Following the altercation, Jeremy further humiliated Piers by pouring water on him during the final Concorde flight a year later. Eventually, Piers disclosed how he reconciled with Jeremy, attributing his newfound approach to settling disputes rather than escalating feuds to their encounter.
Despite their tumultuous past, Piers recounted how they came to a truce after years of hostility, acknowledging that they were not destined to be friends but agreed to refrain from physical altercations. The conflict originated when Piers, then editor of the Mirror, published photos of Jeremy with another woman, triggering a series of verbal attacks between the two.
In a public attempt to diminish Jeremy’s actions post their physical scuffle, Piers reportedly quipped, “My three-year-old hits me harder than that.” The saga between the two personalities reached its peak during the Concorde flight incident, where Jeremy candidly admitted to pouring water on Piers as a form of retaliation.
