PIERS Morgan has reignited his bitter feud with TV rival Dan Walker.
The presenter accused his frenemy of "milking his bike accident like he’s survived a terror attack".
Channel 5 news host Dan told how he was "lucky to be alive" after a collision with a car last month.
Despite being off work since the accident, he last night presented the RTS Television Journalism Awards.
In an attempt to get a laugh from the crowd, the 45-year-old brought up Piers walking off Good Morning Britain in a row with Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle in 2021.
Bringing up his bike accident again, Dan said he was "up to his eyeballs on drugs".

“I’ve lost all my inhibitions," he admitted on stage last night.
"It could be a fun night everybody, okay. I’d like to apologise in advance for anything that I might say that is near the knuckle. My idea of where the knuckle is has completely changed within the last ten days.
“To give you an idea of my mental state, let me put it this way: if a weather presenter were to question me in any way, shape, or form, I’m liable to storm off stage in an enormous huff. I might even go as far as to start a new TV channel based entirely on my ego, which no-one will watch.”
After seeing the former BBC Breakfast host's comments, Piers lashed out on twitter.

He laughed: "If I were Dan Walker, and I’d been kicked off Match of the Day & BBC Breakfast, then washed up on Channel 5 daytime, and only got press these days by falling off a bike, getting a few grazes, and milking it like I’d survived a terror attack, I’d be this bitter too."
The outspoken pair previously competed for ratings as hosts of BBC Breakfast and Good Morning Britain.
Their "friendly rivalry" has taken a turn as they spout nasty remarks about one another online.
