Piers Morgan and Lord Sugar came face-to-face twice on the Good Morning Britain sofa – and only pretend punches were thrown.
The Apprentice boss, 69, and the Good Morning Britain presenter, 51, have previously sparred on social media.
But they were both well behaved when they came face-to-face on Tuesday, after beginning the interview with a bout of joke punches.
When Piers asked: “Do you ever wonder what would have happened to your career if you’d been blessed with good looks?”, Lord Sugar replied: “Pot and kettle!”
Piers had boasted that Lord Sugar looked “nervous”.
He looks nervous. And has good reason to be.

And Susanna Reid said she might have to referee the interview.

In an interview in December on the ITV show, the pair appeared to make up, with Piers leaning in to hug the business mogul.
