Piers Morgan reignites feud with Dan Walker after taking selfie together on golf course

Piers Morgan has reignited his feud with rival Dan Walker after they previously came together for a day at the golf course.

The former Good Morning Britain presenter bumped into Dan, 44, at the course in Wentworth in Surrey last month.

They took a happy selfie together and Piers even joked he would join the BBC Breakfast team alongside Dan.

However, their feud started back up after Piers retweeted an article about John McEnroe coming under fire for his comments about tennis player Emma Raducanu.

John had implied Emma could not "handle it" after she retired from their last-16 match at Wimbledon on Monday night.

Piers tweeted: "McEnroe told the truth. Ms Raducuna’s a talented player but couldn’t handle the pressure & quit when she was losing badly. Not ‘brave’, just a shame.

"If I were her, I’d tell my fans to stop abusing McEnroe, & seek his advice on how to toughen up & become a champion like he was."

Dan then poked fun at Piers by bringing up the fact he sensationally quit GMB after storming off the ITV set.

"How would you have judged her if she’d stormed off in a big huff?" he retweeted along with a wink emoji.

Not one to back down from a jibe, Piers responded: "Same way I judged you when you ‘quit’ Football Focus… oh wait, you were fired weren’t you! #awks," along with the same emoji.

Dan was a presenter on Football Focus from 2009 until May 2021.

At the beginning of June, Piers posed for a cosy picture with Dan as the two men played golf on the same course.

"Can’t believe it... turn up at Wentworth and guess who is in the group in front???? Yep... @piersmorgan," Dan wrote on Twitter.

The pair smiled in a relaxed picture together with Dan saying he watched from the sidelines as Piers "delivered the goods" and celebrated by waving his arms in the air after hitting a good ball in front of a small crowd of spectators.

Piers shared the same snap and wrote: "Planning our new show… ‘Good Morning BBC Breakfast Britain’ #DreamTeam #Wentworth."

When Ben's co-host Louise Minchin announced she was leaving the BBC Breakfast team after twenty years, Piers suggested he would be filling her shoes.

"Stop blubbing Dan - I start Monday," Piers warned on Twitter.

"BBC wanted the guy who beat you in the ratings, and the first same-sex male breakfast presenting team to appease the wokies."
