Jeremy Clarkson made candid confession about 'difficult divorce' and 'war with BBC bosses' during truce with Piers Morgan

But alcohol slowly alleviated the tension.” “‘Morgan,’ he sighed, ‘I’m going through a difficult divorce, my first ex-wife has also came out of the woodwork to give me hell, I’m smoking too much, drinking too much, my back hurts, I’m all over the papers with this N-word scandal, I’m at war with my BBC bosses, and my mother has just died. Elsewhere, Morgan describes one particularly harrowing scene at a party in Venice the pair attended recently, at which they “‘danced’ together to a live set from Duran Duran, both punching the air to ‘The Wild Boys’ and ‘Notorious’”. Clarkson and Morgan first fell out during his time as the editor of the Daily Mirror, after he published a string of “compromising” photographs of the Top Gear presenter with a senior female BBC executive.
