Lord Sugar quoted Piers, saying: “NHS TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED AND I WILL HELP YOU GET IT.”

He then added: “Dear Mr Morgan we need 25,000 ventilators please deliver ASAP. Pathetic man . I think he needs the NHS psychiatric department as he is delusional.”

Piers replied: “You’re a billionaire who’s done absolutely f**k all during this crisis except tell everyone to stop scare -mongering & take incessant pathetic potshots at me from your luxury American mansion.

“Get off your a**e & do something for NHS staff. Your behaviour is a disgrace.”

The pair often spar with each other on Twitter and once even challenged each other to a weight loss duel on Good Morning Britain.

But they have fallen out in recent days, with Piers even blocking his rival as they continued to disagree over the best course of action to tackle coronavirus.

Lord Sugar has called on Piers to “shut up” begging him: “We need some positive stuff in these horrible times try to lighten up a bit and find some thing interesting to talk about.”

The TV star responded bluntly: “OK, blocking you now until this is over. Too serious for your idiocy.”

Deaths from coronavirus in the UK now stand at 233 with over 5,000 official cases

How Britain compares to other major countries battling the disease

Cases of coronavirus in the UK were yesterday revealed to have jumped to 5,018, while the death toll rose to 233.

Prime minister Boris Johnson begged Sun readers to stay away from their mums today, even though it is Mothering Sunday.

He wrote: “This time the best thing is to ring her, video call her, Skype her, but to avoid any unnecessary physical contact or proximity.

“And why? Because if your mother is elderly or vulnerable, then I am afraid all the statistics show that she is much more likely to die from coronavirus, or Covid-19. We cannot disguise or sugar-coat the threat.”
