Piers Morgan has hit back at Chris Moyles after the Radio 1 DJ waded in on his public feud with Jonathan Ross.
The former newspaper editor was furious when Ross claimed that he is not qualified to judge Britain's Got Talent hopefuls in July. He then responded by describing the chat show host's interviewing technique as "sycophantic", "simpering" and "lecherous".
Moyles recently decided to join the row, telling his listeners: "Piers Morgan is the most deluded man on the planet."
Morgan has now claimed that Moyles is a coward because he has always been complimentary when they have met.
"Chris Moyles has hurled his podgy frame into my feud. It would have been slightly more credible if the same Chris Moyles hadn't fawned all over me like a lovesick puppy when we met by chance at Gatwick Airport earlier this year," Morgan wrote in his Live magazine column.
"I don't mind you ranting about me on air, Lardy Boy, but I suspect your dwindling army of fans would rather see a more consistent, and indeed courageous, policy when we next come face to face."
Morgan will launch his own chat show on ITV1 early next year.
