Alan Sugar has added more fuel to his long-running feud with Piers Morgan after he accused the GMB host of being on drugs.
Following a week-long break from the ITV show, the 58-year-old was back on the programme alongside co-host Susanna Reid, and furiously laid into Dominic Cummings over his 260 mile trip to Durham during the height of lockdown.
The Prime Minister’s senior aide has come under public scrutiny and pressure from within the Conservative party after he failed to apologise for his actions, and refused to step down from his position.
During Monday’s episode, the acid-tongued presenter blasted Mr Cummings for “destroying lockdown” after he was allowed to keep his job.

Following Piers’ passionate monologue, his rival, Alan Sugar, claimed the father-of-four was “on drugs” because he was acting “hyper”.
He tweeted: “I have just watched the start of GMB. Morgan did not stop ranting for 10 minutes and did not come up for air.
“He must be on drugs he is so hyper. Susanna Reid just hmming every 2 mins.”

Daily Star Online has contact Piers Morgan’s spokesman for comment.
In an hour-long press conference, held in the rose garden of No10 in May, Mr Cummings discussed his trip up North, and revealed he drove 30miles to beauty spot Barnard Castle to “test his eyesight” after the coronavirus symptoms left him with dodgy vision.
But after Prime Minister Boris Johnson publicly supported Dominic Cummings – and no further action taken, Piers said his refusal to “admit he was wrong” has both “destroyed the lockdown and trust in the government”.
“What Dominic Cummings has almost single-handedly done is he’s destroyed the lockdown,” he fumed.
“By doing what he did, by refusing to even apologise, for refusing to admit that anything he did was wrong, even though none of us could do what he did at the time that he did it, by doing that, he has destroyed the lockdown, and trust in the government.”
He added: “Boris Johnson still stands by him, inexplicably – God knows what Cummings has on Boris Johnson, it must be bad.”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am.
