Piers Morgan branded “pathetic” as he reignites feud with Lord Sugar

The long-time rivals are at it again

Piers Morgan has become embroiled in another war of words with arch nemesis, Lord Alan Sugar.

The Good Morning Britain host stoked the fire when he posted an old billboard pic of his US show, Piers Morgan Tonight, and he manged to take a swipe at Lord Sugar in the process.

Reminiscing, 54-year-old Piers wrote: “#tbt When it comes to billboards, size is everything. This monster was in Times Square, NYC for weeks. I used to walk down and stand below it, chuckling to myself and hoping people would tweet it to Lord Sugar.”

The 72-year-old Apprentice boss soon took the bait.

He retaliated by branding Piers “pathetic” for reminiscing about his axed show.

Lord Sugar even likened the outspoken broadcaster to a washed up actor!

He replied to Piers with: “You are like an old Hollywood movie star reflecting back on his past. Pathetic.”

One wrote: “@lord_sugar cracking banter between you pair…😆👍,” while a second added: “@lord_sugar throwing the heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥💃💃.”

A third added: “@lord_sugar 😂😂😂😂 brilliant👏👏👏.”
