Both Farage and Morgan were appearing on the panel show on Thursday night ahead of the July 4 general election.

Nigel Farage's fiery Question Time clash with Piers Morgan continued into a war of words online after Fiona Bruce was last night forced to step in to stop an ugly row between the pair.

Piers Morgan appeared on Question Time on Thursday and accused Nigel Farage of 'bottling' not standing for electionHe later shared a photo of all of the show's panellists except Mr Farage, writing: 'All smiles after last night's lively ⁦BBC Question Time⁩ - mainly because The Toad had already left.' But the two controversial figures continued to squabble, with Morgan asking: 'You have had all year to think about this election. We all knew it was coming. This idea that you didn't have enough time to prepare is rubbish.'

He called Morgan a 'YouTuber', referring to his show Piers Morgan Uncensored transferring to YouTube from TalkTV. Farage pointed to 'huge favours' he had done for the Tories in the past and demanded the Prime Minister 'give me something back'. Earlier this week, Farage explained on the The Sun's Never Mind The Ballots show as to why he chose not to stand as a Reform candidate, blaming the Prime Minister's decision to go to the polls much earlier than most had expected.

Speaking on Friday morning, Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride told Sky News: 'It's disappointing, Mark will have his own reasons as to why he's decided to do that.'
