Morgan 'distressed' by Wogan comments

Piers Morgan has said that he does not know what to think after Terry Wogan called him "nasty" and compared him to Michael Winner.

The talent show judge and journalist joked that he is not sure which part of Wogan's comments was the more upsetting.

Wogan had told the Radio Times: "I watch Britain's Got Talent and I've come to appreciate Piers Morgan, who, in the grand tradition of Michael Winner, makes a virtue out of being a nasty piece of work."

Morgan told the Daily Mail: "I've always loved Terry Wogan. He just seems to rise effortlessly above the fray of life's numerous nonsenses, with that cheeky Irish grin, permanently raised eyebrow, and a self-deprecating quip.

"So what to make then of his comments to Radio Times today? I'm not sure what's more distressing - the Winner analogy or the fact that Terry thinks I'm being nasty on BGT, when that is in fact supposed to be my brand-saving Mr Nice Guy side."
