He’s made no secret of his dislike of David Walliams and now Piers Morgan has taken his vendetta against him to a whole new level.
The outspoken Good Morning Britain host has launched a campaign to oust David as host of the National Television Awards.
They took place at London’s O2 Arena last night (January 28) and, while Piers didn’t attend, he certainly made his presence felt on Twitter.
Tweeting throughout the show, Piers slammed David’s hosting skills on numerous occasions.

He also launched a campaign to bring back the show’s former host Dermot O’Leary.
He stepped down from presenting the show last year, after 10 years at the helm.
Dermot said at the time: “After 10 years of proudly hosting the National Television Awards, I have decided it’s time to step down as host.”
He added: “It’s been a tough decision because we have had a ball over the last decade, but 10 years feels about right.”
Okay half hour in…. bring back Dermot! Whoever decided Walliams should host needs their head testing.
Dermot added that he was looking forward to “proudly passing on the baton in 2020”.
