Why do Piers and Jeremy hate each other?

Piers and Jeremy famously fell out and had a decade-long feud.

It resulted in Jeremy punching Piers in the head at the 2004 British Press Awards.

In his newspaper column, Piers said that Jeremy introduced him by saying: “Please welcome our first guest… who is a truly awful human being!”

Suffice it to say, our subsequent ‘banter’ lived up, or down, to every expectation.

Piers went on to say: “Suffice it to say, our subsequent ‘banter’ lived up, or down, to every expectation of what might happen when two ego-crazed, rutting human stags, with a relationship laced in physical violence, finally clash on national television.”
