PIERS Morgan's brother Jeremy has defended the Good Morning Britain host by calling rival Lord Alan Sugar an "illiterate old clown."
The TV stars have taken different views on the government's handling of the Covid-19 crisis - and it appears Jeremy is in full agreement with his younger brother.

He hit back at the 73-year-old Apprentice star on Twitter yesterday.
Jeremy wrote: "I started following this illiterate old clown after he started following me, but I really can’t take any more of his moronic diatribe.
"Goodbye @Lord_Sugar, you really are a staggeringly stupid, ignorant and unpleasant little man."
His post comes days after Lord Sugar launched a new attack on Piers, 55, after he "slagged off the government" over the handling of the coronavirus crisis.

He laid into the host for not allowing ministers to answer questions on the ongoing crisis while appearing on GMB.
In a reply to a Twitter post Piers had written, Lord Sugar said: "RT Nonsense. 'Ministers all get plenty of time to speak on @GMB. But if they don’t answer questions or answer a different question, or say something stupid, then I will interrupt them to get a straight answer. It’s called journalism.' NO IT'S CALLED BULLYING."

Just four minutes later Lord Sugar continued on his rant about how Morgan was "sickening" for his comments over the government's handling of the pandemic.

The pair recently declared all out war on each other amid the Covid-19 outbreak, with Piers branding his rival a "disgrace" and going as far as to block him on Twitter.
Speaking to The Sun’s Executive Editor Dan Wootton during his talkRADIO drivetime, Lord Sugar said: "What’s going on is that I am tired of the tactics he is using to just big himself up, to give himself a name, to become a martyr.
The star has also called Piers an "obnoxious self-centred t***er" in another of his Twitter rants.
