Piers Morgan and Alan Sugar had a Twitter spat after Piers blasted Lord Alan Sugar for his “reckless stupidity” and said the Apprentice boss had behaved “disgracefully” in his response to guidance over coronavirus.
THE GMB host said Lord Sugar’s opinion would get people killed after the star appeared to encourage people to sunbathe during the countrywide lockdown.

Piers previously tweeted: “I’m done with @Lord_Sugar, trust me.
“His behaviour over this crisis has been an absolute disgrace, especially for a peer.
“But when he actively encourages British people to go out sunbathing, I can’t just sit back and say nothing. His reckless, shameful stupidity will kill people.”
However Lord Sugar has hit back by tweeting: “Spain Covid figures. A glimmer of hope that the lockdown is working.”
