Piers Morgan is ‘set to appear on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? with former nemesis Jeremy Clarkson’… as pair put their longstanding feud to rest
They famously had a punch up at a London awards ceremony in 2004.
And it seems Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson are set to put their longstanding feud to rest as the former will allegedly appear on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? for the show’s Christmas special.
According to a report from The Sun on Monday, the Good Morning Britain presenter, 55, has already asked his co-host Susanna Reid to be his phone-a-friend lifeline, as she is well-versed in history.

Filming is said to take place next month, and it was claimed Jeremy told Piers that if he didn’t reach £32,000 then he’d ‘never live it down’.
A source speaking to the publication claimed: ‘Morgan and Clarkson squaring off on prime-time will be telly platinum.
‘Piers relying on Jeremy for an answer with Ask The Host will be hilarious viewing.
‘Piers has asked Susanna, a history buff, and Joan Collins, who has a wealth of general knowledge, to be Phone A Friends. But execs hope Donald [Trump] might also get a call.’

MailOnline has contacted Piers and Jeremy’s representatives for comment.
The pair have been at each other’s throats over the years, using any excuse to tear each other down on social media.
When Morgan was the editor of a tabloid newspaper he published pictures of Clarkson, 53, getting friendly with a female work colleague – after Clarkson had denied any wrongdoing.
Four years later, Clarkson punched Morgan three times in the head at British Press Awards in London, leaving the former with a broken finger and Piers with a scar on his forehead.

Jeremy famously teased Piers on Twitter and in a newspaper after his CNN show Piers Morgan Live was axed.
Recalling the insults thrown at him, Piers chuckled: ‘He called me a “ghastly little weasel”, a “friendless broken shell”, “genuinely awful”, and generously concluded: “Everyone hates him”.
However, the pair decided to lay their feud to rest over a drink at their local pub in Kensington, west London in 2014.

Describing their tense meet-up, Piers wrote in the Mail On Sunday: ‘For the first half an hour, it was excruciatingly awkward.
‘When you’ve spent a decade publicly abusing, denigrating and brawling with someone, it’s quite hard to hit the STOP button and pretend like nothing’s happened.’
But the pair managed to salvage something of a friendship.
‘We’re never going to be best friends, obviously. Too much blood, literally, has been spilled’, Morgan concluded.
