Piers Morgan Recounts 2004 Jeremy Clarkson Punch In New Book

His account attributes the clash to published photos Clarkson had asked him not to run.

Overview

  • Morgan writes that Clarkson struck him at the British Press Awards after the Daily Mirror published images of Clarkson with a woman who was not his wife.
  • He says he still has a forehead scar and describes the blow as weak, adding that Clarkson broke a finger hitting his head.
  • Clarkson previously detailed the incident in a 2022 Times column, saying he punched Morgan repeatedly and "annoyingly" broke his finger.
  • The two later made peace over drinks, with Morgan saying a daughter of Clarkson and one of his sons acted as informal "peace treaty ratifiers."
  • Despite lingering distance, they have appeared together on screen, including a 2020 Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire special and a recent Clarkson's Farm segment.
