I shouldn't bother, but I can't resist the temptation to pick it apart...
Piers, 44, weighed into the chubby, 35-year-old DJ, insisting the only talent he displays on radio is being a “fat, old, foul-mouthed, big-headed lard-bucket”.
He puts the boot in on his new blog after admitting he doesn’t see eye-to-eye with Chris – “Mainly because he’s about 4ft tall so the only thing he sees when we meet is my kneecaps.”
I never fails to amuse me that pretty much every critic of Chris' "offensiveness" except for Gambaccini has made offensive, shallow remarks in doing so. And so Piers continues...
“The loudmouth lard-bucket has been viciously laying into his critics for daring to suggest he may be on his way out of the Breakfast Show.
They didn't "suggest" it "may" happen. They said it would happen, in spite of the BBC's denial when approached before they even ran the story. Of course he needed to defend himself.
“He yells at his listeners that: ‘There’s no-one else, I’m the best!’ And he is – at being a revolting, foul-mouthed braggart.
When on earth did he say that on air? Did I miss it? Or is Piers simply going by that dodgy quote that appeared in the papers a few days ago.
“The problem for Moyles and his cronies such as Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand is, since that dreadful incident with Andrew Sachs, people don’t want gratuitously rude people any more on their airwaves, which is why he is beginning to lose his audience.
I see Piers is trying to link Chris with "Sachsgate" here. Nice try. And didn't the listening figures go up recently?
“But Moyles also faces another problem. He’s just too old for Radio 1.
“It’s supposed to be a hip young music station for kids, not a platform for a fat, middle-aged northern bloke to settle scores and spit bile.
Chris is making an incredible effort on the air not to sink to the gutter press' level in all of this, but they'll continue to write crap articles like this in order to make people believe he has.
It’s not the first time their egos have clashed since their TV shows went head to head.
Aha! Ahahahaha! Well there you have it.
Chris, who hosts Channel 4’s Quiz Night, opened hostilities by branding Piers, who presents ITV1’s Life Stories, as “deluded”.
Piers, whose telly show has already won the ratings war, hit back by blasting the “lardy boy” DJ as a “coward”.
What's this in reference to? Anyone know?
Radio 1 and Chris have denied reports that he will be axed next year from his breakfast show, which attracts more than 8 million listeners.
They're saying he's going next year now? I thought it was this September.
