Former Good Morning Britain presenter Morgan, 57, and Clarkson had a very public feud. Jeremy Clarkson has recalled the night he punched Piers Morgan admitting it was in defense of his wife’s honor.
The 61-year-old former Top Gear presenter was commenting on Will Smith’s physical attack on Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars ceremony for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia.
Are Jeremy Clarkson and Piers Morgan friends?
For 10 years, Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson have been sworn enemies, never missing an opportunity to throw shade at each other. Jeremy Clarkson and Piers Morgan’s fallout occurred after Piers, who was a newspaper editor at the time – published photos of Clarkson with a woman who wasn’t his wife in 2002.
Despite Clarkson’s pleas not to run the story, Piers did, and as a result, his wife and children were left upset by the fallout. In 2003, during Concorde’s last ever commercial flight, Jeremy and Piers sat next to each other, and the then-Top Gear host made his feelings known by pouring water over him.
