PIERS Morgan has threatened to PUNCH BBC star Louis Theroux in a shock new celebrity feud.
The TV presenter vowed to “destroy” the interviewer after he made a sly dig about him on his brand new show.
Louis’s latest series launched on BBC Two last night with an intimate interview with superstar boxer Anthony Joshua.
During the episode, Louis asks AJ: “Do you think you could take me?”
The boxer laughs as he insists he could – before adding: “I could actually get you a fight it will do well.
“You’d bring viewers to my broadcasting channel.”

Asked who he’d put Louis up against, TalkTV host Piers Morgan’s name is thrown around.
“Piers Morgan? That’s a better match up,” said Louis.
‘Number one, he’s very famous and I could actually take him.”
Piers didn’t take the insult lying down.

Posting the clip on X, formerly known as Twitter, Piers asked: “Have you lost your marbles, Louis Theroux?
“I’d destroy you in 30 seconds, you puny wastrel.”
Louis is yet to reply to Piers’ promise.
The war of words came after British boxing ace AJ sat down with the popular reporter for a tell-all interview, which aired last night.
He opened up about living with his mum at 34, his dating life and smoking marijuana at just 13 years old.
