In a tweet posted on 18 February, Morgan wrote that he would “rather employ a lobotomised Aardvark” than work with Amini again.
Morgan’s post followed one by Amini, in which he said he would not work with Morgan again after his experience on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories as a researcher.
Morgan tweeted that the letter is “beyond parody” and claimed that he is, in fact, the victim.
“You spent precisely two months working on Life Stories in 2010 & judging by your CV that was the pinnacle of your TV career,” he said.
