Piers Morgan Recalls Scar from Jeremy Clarkson's Punch in 2004

According to a news article from 2025, journalist Piers Morgan has opened up about a violent clash he had with TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson back in 2004. The incident occurred at the British Press Awards, where the two men were both in attendance.

At the time, Morgan was the editor of the Daily Mirror, and he had published some photos of Clarkson with a woman who was not his wife. Clarkson was reportedly unhappy about this and asked Morgan not to use the pictures, but Morgan went ahead and published them anyway. This led to a physical altercation, with Clarkson allegedly punching Morgan multiple times and leaving a scar on his forehead.

While Morgan acknowledged that Clarkson's actions were "not entirely unjustified," he also noted that Clarkson had a "very weak punch" and ended up breaking his own finger in the process. The two men have since reconciled, with Clarkson reaching out to Morgan and the two meeting up for a drink at a local pub. They have even appeared together on TV shows, including a recent episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" hosted by Clarkson.
