Piers Morgan has called it a day on his friendship with Lord Alan Sugar over their very different opinions of using public parks during the coronavirus crisis.
The two became embroiled in a war of words on Twitter, during which the outspoken Good Morning Britain presenter slammed Lord Sugar’s ‘disgraceful’ behaviour.
They came to loggerheads after called the public “morons” for sunbathing in parks over the weekend.
And Lord Sugar replied: ‘I can’t for the life of me understand what @piersmorgan is on about in respect to sunbathing.
“If you are 10ft away from the next person in the open what’s wrong with that?”
An angry Piers responded: “Billionaire hiding safely in his luxury Florida home demands the right for British people to all go out sunbathing, in direct contravention of Govt. instructions, as UK #coronavirus death toll rockets incl more and more NHS staff on the frontline.
“What an utter disgrace.
“I’m done with @Lord_Sugar, trust me.”
“His behaviour over this crisis has been an absolute disgrace, especially for a peer.”
