Jeremy Clarkson recalls hitting Piers Morgan at awards ceremony as he weighs in on Will Smith Oscars slap

hot takes and opinions on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars last Sunday show no sign of stopping, Jeremy Clarkson has used the scene to take a trip down memory lane into his past feud with Piers Morgan.Writing in his latest Sunday Times column, the former Top Gear star argued that if you ‘boiled the incident down to its nub, a man abused another man’s wife and got a slap’.The actor had faced criticism for storming the stage and hitting the comedian after he compared Will’s wife Jada to GI Jane, apparently not knowing that her shaved hairstyle was due to the medical condition alopecia, which causes hair loss.Reasoning that you would see ‘much the same sort of thing in any pub and any club in any town on any night in the entire world’, he then revealed that ‘awards ceremonies seem to make it much more likely’, before adding: ‘Trust me. I know.’The 61-year-old then harked back to a media awards event 18 years ago, where he recalled hitting old rival Piers Morgan for a very similar reason.‘At the 2004 British Press Awards I ran into Piers Morgan, who said something unkind about my wife,’ he wrote.

Good Morning Britain guest host Rob Rinder has spoken out about replacing the show's former presenter, Piers Morgan, after he left the show last year.Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the Judge Rinder star, 43, insisted that he wasn't trying to fill Piers' shoes, before drawing comparisons between himself and the host of TalkTV's new show, Uncensored.Speaking about whether he had any concerns about filling Piers' shoes as a host on GMB, Rob addressed the star's straightforward nature.Rob said: "Not really, I mean, lots of people have opinions on Piers, but people who actually know him will tell you," he said before cutting himself off.He continued: "The reason he continues to survive in this business that's full of sharks is because he's - there's a lovely Yiddish word - he's a Mensch."He's the type of friend and person that you absolutely want in your corner."The term is defined as "a person of integrity and honour".The legal expert went on: "You will really struggle privately to find somebody who's got anything unkind to say about Piers, who really knows him."It says a great deal, actually, you know, he says it and calls it like he says it," he added.Speaking about his presenting responsibilities on GMB, Rob told how he had his own hosting style.He said: "I'm not consciously thinking about trying to be a Piers, I'm trying to sort of consciously determine how we can be our authentic selves with each other in our way."If I went on trying to be Piers, it wouldn't go well!" he exclaimed.Rob went on: "Or if he came on Judge Rinder trying to be me, you know, we have different approaches, but the same kind of fundamental principles, which is holding power to account."And often Piers and I will agree, sometimes we'll

'Virtue-signalling insanity' Piers Morgan on ruling over transgender cyclist Emily Bridges

Piers Morgan, who has been campaigning against transgender people competing in women's sport for years, took to Twitter in celebration."Finally, a ray of common sense shines up from the virtue-signalling insanity," he wrote jubilantly in view of almost eight million followers.If she had taken part, 21-year-old Emily would have been up against some formidable competition, including five-times Olympic champion Laura Kenny.However it is believed that those who were assigned male at birth face physical advantages against those who were born female, including levels of the hormone testosterone.Although the hormone is present in both males and females, it is men who have significantly higher amounts of it - and the substance, which promotes the building of muscle, is one of the factors in men having an athletic advantage.The Union Cycliste Internationale requires their contestants to have had testosterone levels that are below five nanomoles per litre for at least a year prior to competing.However the association has confirmed that Emily does not meet the criteria and British Cycling subsequently issued a statement to say so.It read: "We have now been informed by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) that under their current guidelines Emily is not eligible to participate in this event."Piers had earlier hit out over the victory of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in the 500-yard freestyle swimming contest in the USA's NCAA Championships, deeming it "unfair".World Athletics President Lord Sebastian Coe has taken the same stance as Piers, arguing in his professional capacity that decisions to allow transgender athletes and sportspeople to compete is placing the "integrity" of women's sport under threat.He has insisted that

'Called a racist bully and lost my job' Piers Morgan reacts to claim he's playing 'victim'

Piers Morgan landed himself in hot water after declaring he refused to believe Meghan Markle's claim that life in the Royal Family had left her suicidal - and he's dubbed her "Princess Pinocchio" ever since. However he took exception to a damning article he read which called him out for allegedly portraying himself as a victim of racism - and he was quick to let his 7.9 million Twitter followers know how he felt.The article, by Vanity Fair journalist Emily Kirkpatrick, blasted his claim he was "the real victim of 'racist bullying" after his criticism of Meghan Markle.The piece referenced a tweet Piers had posted, raging: "Can all the Meghan/Harry fans currently abusing me with stuff like ‘shut the f*** up white man’ please stop trying to silence my voice with racist bullying?"However Piers hit back, reposting it with a personal response to the writer."Oh, I wasn’t a victim," he told Emily adamantly."I was just called a racist bully - and lost my job - for refusing to believe a proven liar bullying the Royal Family with fake racism smears."He added: "You seem to be trying the same tactic, which is a shame because I’m told you’re a talented writer."As the article stated, Piers had previously had an on-air debate with activist Dr.
