Britain’s Got More Talent host Stephen Mulhern has admitted that he thinks Piers Morgan would beat Simon Cowell in a fist fight.

Stephen revealed that Simon Cowell would beat Piers hand down in a war of words, but added that if things got physical, his money would be on former newspaper editor Piers.

He told the Metro: “If it was a verbal fight, Simon would definitely win. No question.

“If it was physical though, it’s got to be Piers as he could really pull a punch!”

On whether the bickering between the pair is real or all for the cameras Stephen added:

“It’s not at all an act! They are both so strong minded. It’s real.

“If they disagree with something then they will just keep arguing it out until one of them wins. To be honest, I don’t know who’s got the biggest ego!”
