Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has taken another savage swipe at his telly rival and BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker.
The 55-year-old outspoken star was back up to his old tricks on Monday morning when he returned to the ITV breakfast show after his half-term break.
He didn’t waste any time in getting stuck in at what he does best and he quickly found himself embroiled in a clash with vaccine minister Nadhim Zahawi.
Piers hit out at Mr Zahawi when he failed to speak out against Matt Hancock and refused to admit there had been a shortage of PPE.
The Health Secretary was found to have “acted unlawfully” when giving out PPE contracts in a court ruling last week.

The ITV star pointed out: “It is completely unacceptable that he broke the law on his contracts, and has refused to apologised, and is claiming there was no national shortage.”
After the heated debate came to an end, one viewer rushed to their keyboard to congratulate Piers on Twitter for holding Mr Zahawi to account on the show.
The fan also went on to compare Piers’ frenemy Dan, 43, a “jellyfish”.
The tweet read: “Spot on @piersmorgan Perhaps you could tutor that jellyfish @mrdanwalker of @BBCBreakfast on how to interview hold government ministers to account?”

Former newspaper editor Piers couldn’t help but retweet the post in view of his 7.7 million followers.
He cheekily penned: “Very happy to help him grow a pair.”
Dan is yet to respond to Piers’ jibe but no doubt it won’t be long until he takes his next punch.

Piers and Dan have been embroiled in a ongoing spat for years with the pair often making brutal digs at one another on social media.
In October, Dan was branded a “liar” by Piers as they clashed over ratings.
BBC Breakfast waged war on Piers and GMB last month by initing it was “UK’s most watched breakfast show”.
It come after Piers vowed to overtake the channel’s ratings for the first time in over three decades.
On the day Good Morning Britain celebrated its most watched show in history, BBC Breakfast tweeted: “These @BBCBreakfast figures might make awkward reading for some: 80m live stream requests on @BBCiPlayer (up 56%). Audience share of 42%.
“Average daily reach of 5.7m Thanks for tuning in to the UK’s most watched Breakfast programme….”
Host Dan shared the tweet and added: “Thanks for watching.”

However, Good Morning Britain could soon overtake the flagship BBC morning show for the first time.
GMB’s ratings are at an all-time high with the show’s audience share doubling from 14 to 28 per cent since Piers joined the team back in 2015.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am and BBC Breakfast airs the same time on BBC One
