Dan Walker hit back at “bitter” Piers Morgan, branding him a “numptie”, after the TalkTV presenter accused him of “milking” his recent bike crash. It came after Dan was hit by a car while cycling last week, posting a picture of his bloodied face to social media afterwards.
On Wednesday (March 1), the TV presenter made his first public appearance since the incident at the RTS Television Journalism Awards. At the event, he joked that he was “up to my eyeballs” on painkillers, the Independent reports.
He then poked fun at Morgan, mocking his long-standing rival for his dramatic departure from Good Morning Britain in 2021. Two years ago, Piers left the ITV breakfast show after storming off set in response to being challenged by weather presenter Alex Beresford on his coverage of Meghan Markle.
