Piers Morgan, 57, has responded to a damning review of his new show Uncensored, which aired on TalkTV last night.The former Good Morning Britain presenter took to social media to react to the criticism that he resembled a “Jeremy Clarkson tribute act”.

Journalist Piers Morgan returned to our screens last night, marking the occasion with an explosive interview from former US President Donald Trump, 75, and repeatedly slamming the idea of “cancel culture”.

Today Piers informed his fans today that his bold comments had prompted a comparison to be made between himself and Jeremy Clarkson, 62.Jeremy is the star of Amazon Prime show Clarkson’s Farm and previously presented the BBC’s Top Gear for many years, before he was axed from the show after punching producer Oisin Tymon.

Piers took to Twitter this morning to share an unfavourable review of last night’s show with his 7.9 million followers, referring to an incident at the 2004 Press Awards, when Jeremy punched Piers in the head.He wrote: “UPDATE: The Guardian review says I’m a ‘Jeremy Clarkson tribute act’. “Given my long-time respect and admiration for @JeremyClarkson (when he’s not punching me in the head), his fierce intelligence, razor-sharp wit and rakishly handsome looks, I take this as a massive compliment!”The ex-ITV presenter's tweet came as an update from his previous tweet on Sunday ahead of his TalkTV debut.
