Jeremy Clarkson asks Piers Morgan for help 21 years after punching him
Jeremy Clarkson turns to Piers Morgan for advice when buying The Farmer's Dog pub on Clarkson's Farm, despite their previous feud. The farmer calls the ex-Good Morning Britain host his "dear friend for decades" when he comes to him for tips on being a pub landlord in episode five of the Prime Video series, released on Friday. Their disagreements have played out very publicly in the spotlight. It was headline news in 2004 when Clarkson punched Morgan at the British Press Awards. A decade later, Clarkson recalled the incident saying Morgan had written "unpleasant stories" about him and thought it was a "joke" which fuelled him to punch him three times. He wrote in The Times in 2014: "'Why's your f****** wife looking at me like that?' he [Morgan] thundered. So I punched him. And then I punched him again. And then I thought: 'You know what? I don't think this would ever get boring.' So I punched him again. And, annoyingly, broke my finger." In another incident on the very last flight of Concorde into London where Clarkson poured water over Morgan's crotch and then told journalists on the steps: " idiot's wet himself" Fast forward to now, they have made up and Clarkson asks Morgan for his help. The surprising scene plays out on the Prime Video series. The presenter explains he was reaching out to "various mates" to make sure he wasn't making a "big mistake" with the pub. In the voiceover, Clarkson says: "I started with a chap who has been a dear friend for decades." So it may surprise Clarkson's Farm viewers to find out this person is in fact Morgan. They video call one morning to catch up before Clarkson signs on the dotted line for The Farmer's Dog which at the time was known as The Windmill. "Morning is that you?" He says in episode five. "Have you got any advice?" And it turns out Morgan does have some good advice, having previously bought pub Hansom Cab on Earl's Court Road, Kensington, West London in 2010. Watch Clarkson's Farm season four trailer below The TV personality has a brutal warning for Clarkson about theft that happens at pubs. He tells him: "People steal stuff from pubs. Every publican will tell you. They'll nick the salt and pepper pots. They'll nick knives and forks. They might even nick plates. They'll nick any art they can rip off the walls." The journalist's words prove to be true as Clarkson has since spoken about the theft he has experienced at The Farmer's Dog. He revealed 104 glasses were stolen on one Sunday last year. In the new year, Clarkson unveiled a plan to tackle the thefts at The Farmer's Dog. Morgan isn't the only celebrity friend who gives Clarkson advice ahead of The Farmer's Dog opening in August last year. Singer James Blunt, who owns The Fox & Pheasant pub in London's Chelsea, had some words of warning too. He tells Clarkson in new scenes: "Obviously drink driving is an issue. In the countryside. That's why you want it in a central hub somewhere so there's a mass of people so they can walk home or people can easily get taxis home." Clarkson replies: "It's near no building of any sort. The nearest village is five miles away." Blunt makes light of the bad situation saying: "Maybe if you're lucky they'll relax the drink driving laws!" He also points out that there can be issues with staffing. Blunt adds: "Staffing is so tricky nowadays because people just don't want to work those kind of hours. It's hard work. Normally they're overseas labourers. So again, as long as Brexit doesn't go through you'll be fine as well." Film director Guy Ritchie, who owns pubs Lore of the Land in Fitzrovia and The Punchbowl in Mayfair, calls Clarkson to share some words of wisdom. He says: "You'll look at it. It looks like you're making £50k a week and then it transpires that you are losing £10k a week." And of course, Clarkson's long-time friend and former The Grand Tour co-host James May makes an appearance. May has had the pub The Royal Oak in the Wiltshire countryside for some time. His warning was all about the hidden costs. May says: "Energy costs. Staff costs. Ingredients costs. Building maintenance costs. Insurance costs. Accountancy costs. Lawn keeping costs. Re-thatching costs in my case. Gravelling costs. Mending the car park costs. Staff costs if I haven't said that already." Off-screen, May spoke about this moment to Yahoo UK in October 2024. "He did ask me [for advice] and I said 'don't do it if you're thinking of it as a business venture because you don't make any money,'" May told Yahoo UK. "I haven't talked to him about it recently but I got the impression that he was having quite a bit of trouble and losing quite a bit of money, which is how it tends to go, certainly to begin with. "But, I mean, he does have an advantage. He's got a big pub and a big car park, we're very strangled on our car park, and obviously he's a very popular bloke and people are very interested to go and try his pub, so if he can't make it work he's a bit of a f***wit really." Clarkson's Farm season four episodes five and six are now available to stream on Prime Video from Friday.

GMB viewers say they've ‘had enough' after latest Peppa Pig interview
Good Morning Britain viewers have taken to social media to declare they're fed up with all the Peppa Pig news. Their fury comes after Peppa Pig and family took part in a chaotic interview with GMB's entertainment correspondent Richard Arnold about their newest addition to the family, Evie. During the interview, which is the first since the birth of Evie, Daddy Pig got a little emotional as he introduced the world to his daughter. Speaking about George and Peppa's introduction to their baby sister, Mummy Pig said: 'Oh, they could hardly contain themselves. 'But they were so gentle and sweet, too. Evie did a little laugh when she saw them, didn't she? Daddy Pig?' Daddy Pig then said with tears in his eyes: 'How could I forget? Sorry, that's me. Off again.' It seems, however, that not everyone is as moved by the Pig family's newest bundle of joy as Daddy. On X a number of people were quite scathing about the report, with @James Abbott01 writing ' Ofcom phones are ringing right now [to] complain is about Peppa Pig on #GMB… I'm being serious viewers are not happy about Good Morning Britain talking to a cartoon'. @InformeOculto meanwhile added 'More Peppa Pig drivel… Who exactly is this for?' @GreyhoundGeezer was similarly dismissive, posting 'Enough with this Peppa Pig nonsense.' 'How pathetic and puerile to keep harping on about bloody Peppa Pig,' added @Ladyjane223. 'This is not news. Embarrassing.' During the same interview, Daddy Pig said: 'It's been a long, tiring and completely amazing few days. 'Everything went well, and Mummy Pig has been incredible. Peppa and George were so excited to meet their new little sister. We're excited to meet her too.' They also spoke about the origin of their daughter's name, opting to go with something from their family history. 'Peppa had more than a few ideas for a while, she just wanted to call her baby forever. But we've decided to name her after my great aunt Evie,' said Mummy Pig. She added: 'I think right now we're just excited to be home, aren't we?' Daddy Pig added that the family is just looking to spend time together: 'George and Peppa are excited to play with Evie.' Just last week Mummy and Daddy Pig spoke about the labour. 'We were very lucky—everything went smoothly, and in eight, um, 'short' hours of labour, Evie was here,' Mummy Pig said about the birth,' they told Hello! 'Mummy Pig was amazing, and she brought our new baby girl into the world. What a miracle that is!', praised Daddy Pig. According to the first official snap of the happy family, Mummy Pig gave birth at 5:34am on May 20 at the Lindo Wing in London, where Kate Middleton welcomed all three of her children. An hour-long special featuring brand-new episodes based around Evie, titled Peppa Meets the Baby, will screen in cinemas globally on May 30. Got a story?

Tommy Fury takes subtle dig at KSI and Jake Paul ahead of comeback
'TNT' is set to return to the ring this week after nearly two years away, but the Brit was eager to take a swipe at two of his long-time rivals ahead of his comeback Tommy Fury has taken a brutal swipe at rivals KSI and Jake Paul as the boxing star prepares to return to action. Last month, Fury confirmed he he will return to the boxing ring in May and is scheduled to take on Kenan Hanjalic this Friday in Budapest. 'TNT's' brother Roman will also feature on the undercard and is due to face 7-5 boxer Josip Pehar. Fury hasn't fought since defeating social media sensation KSI back in October 2023. He was due to take on former UFC title challenger Darren Till earlier this year, but pulled out of the contest after his rival threatened to kick him in the head. While Hanjalic is an unknown figure in the world of boxing, the former Love Island star insists he's in for a tough fight on Friday night. Speaking to Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, Fury quickly discussed his upcoming foe, while also throwing a stinging verbal jab at KSI and Paul. "I've got a proper legitimate fighter in front of me on Friday, there's no not phased by who I am and the name I've got, he's coming to fight," he said. Earlier in the chat, Fury revealed that he's living the best year of his life after struggling with his split from Molly Mae and falling into a "dark place" over a hand injury. "Being in a position where boxing is everything, the fact that I couldn't do that or get out of bed in the morning and did what made me happy, I just thought, 'Sod it all.' You go down that dark route for a few weeks and you end up staying down there for a long time and that has consequences," he said. "Like I said, 2024 was the worst year of my life and this year is going to be the best year of my life. It starts on Friday, I've turned it all around. I'm happy mentally now. I feel like you've got to go through these challenges in life, everyone's got a hard life so it's all about that I've come through this." While many are expecting Fury to come away with the win, Hanjalic has vowed to do whatever it takes to get his hand raised on fight night. The Fury name is one of the most iconic family names in modern day boxing. Tommy's older brother Tyson is seen as the biggest name, having been a two-time world champion in his career - before announcing his retirement from the sport back in January. However, Hanjalic insists 'names don't win fights' - as the Bosnian brawler sent a chilling warning to his upcoming foe ahead of their fight. He told All Out Fighting: "I come from Sarajevo and proudly represent Gladiator Club Sarajevo, with over 100 amateur fights behind me – each one shaping me into the fighter I am today. I'm stepping into the ring on May 9 in Budapest to face Tommy Fury with one mission – to win."

Kanye West storms out of Piers Morgan interview as star slams 'big baby' rapper
Piers Morgan has blasted Kanye West once more after the contentious artist dramatically exited another interview. Taking to Instagram, the ex-Good Morning Britain presenter shared a photo of a discontent Kanye, accompanied by a caption from Piers announcing: "UPDATE: I interviewed Kanye West again today." Piers' caption went on: "As I expected, given what I've said about him recently, it didn't last long or go well. This was him right before he stomped off like a big baby before I could ask him why he's become a vile, Hitler-loving, Nazi-slathering, anti-Semitic prick. Drops on @piersmorganuncensored later... ". Opinions from fans in the comment section were split. Celebrating Piers' approach, journalist Rosanna Lockwood dubbed the caption: "The caption to end all captions," complete with applause emojis. Piers Morgan has taken to social media to share his thoughts on Kanye (Image: TalkTV) Another user contrasted Piers' criticism with his own behaviour, pointing out: "I love this and ur honesty piers but u also stormed off like a big baby.", reports the Mirror . Known for not shying away from tough interviews, Piers experienced an intense back-and-forth with Ye, the artist formerly identified as Kanye West, during a two-hour engagement on TalkTV three years prior. Despite their vigorous exchange, the atmosphere intensified to the point that the Donda chart-topper stormed off the set. It's not the first time Kanye has left an interview with Piers early (Image: TalkTV) At that moment, Piers noted the crew had "quite a struggle to come and get him back", although he stated afterward his relief at the rapper's eventual return. He addressed the cameras, saying: "I'm glad I did because we ended up getting to where I think in his mind he wanted to get to. I think he wanted to atone for what he had done and the damage he had caused. But he was too fired up and too proud to actually go there until we got towards the end." At that moment, Piers criticized Kanye West as racist, 'horribly homophobic', and 'pro-Hitler'. Following those remarks, the rapper continued to spout a series of additional repugnant claims and comments on social media, also reinforcing his previous statements. Kanye previously spoke to Piers on TalkTV three years ago (Image: AFP via Getty Images) Recently, Ye directed another foul-mouthed tirade on social media toward his former spouse Kim Kardashian. The notorious rapper, aged 47, engaged in a livestream where he lambasted his 44 year old ex-wife concerning the management of their children together. This episode represents just one of many public displays from Ye around the ongoing issues with childcare involving his ex-partner Kim. The reality television star sought a divorce from the musician back in 2021. In an incident back in March, Ye posted but then removed some menacing texts aimed at his former partner Kim Kardashian as he expressed his readiness to "go to war" with her.
