Piers Morgan and Lord Sugar awkwardly hug on Good Morning Britain

If I’d been asked to predict what would happen when Lord Sugar appeared on Good Morning Britain today, a hug between The Apprentice boss and co-host Piers Morgan wouldn’t have been top of the list. 

But here it is. One seriously awkward hug between two people who spend a whole lot of time attempting to embarrass each other on social media.

This Twitter user pretty much sums it up:

Perhaps there’s going to be a turn in the tide? Perhaps all the Christmas spirit will bring these two closer together as friends?

Perhaps. Or perhaps Lord Sugar’s gone straight to the dry cleaners to have that suit steamed…
