They may be close pals today, but that wasn't always the case for Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan, as she revealed she once punched him in the face.
The mum-of-three, who celebrated her 38th wedding anniversary with husband Ozzy, has been friends with the former Good Morning Britain presenter for 20 years but they haven't always seen eye-to-eye.
The pair previously got into a huge argument which led to Sharon, 68, losing her cool and punching Piers, 56, in the mouth.
She told You magazine: "We argue like hell; we had a punch-up once. I slapped him in Mr Chow's [Chinese restaurant in Knightsbridge]."

After arriving home, Sharon was forced to apologise by husband Ozzy, who told her to call him and say sorry.
She explained: "Then I go home and Ozzy goes, 'Call him and apologise. Do it right now'.
"That was years ago. He'll be huffy with me for a day and then he talks to me. We don't agree about a lot of things."
Sharon was previously criticised for defending Piers and made the decision to quit US chat show The Talk after getting into an argument with co-host Sheryl Underwood.

During the explosive confrontation, the straight-talking star expressed: "Why is it that because I supported a longtime friend and work colleague for years, people go 'well you must be racist because he's racist.
"No. I support his freedom of speech. I'm not racist and neither is Piers racist.
"What have I ever said about anybody that's racist? It's not within me. It's not in my soul," she furiously said.
