Piers Morgan and Chelsea Handler face off

Chelsea Handler has labelled Piers Morgan a terrible interviewer on the British newsman's CNN show.

Piers Morgan and Chelsea Handler became embroiled in a bitter spat on live TV this week after the comic labelled the British newsman a "terrible interviewer".

The Chelsea Lately star was a guest on Piers Morgan Live and the chat turned into a war of words after Handler criticised the former tabloid editor's interviewing skills.

Handler, who interviews guests on her own talk show, told the host: "You can't even pay attention for sixty seconds.

"You're a terrible interviewer."

Morgan retorted: "Well you just weren't keeping my attention.

"What is your problem?"

The exchange became heated as Handler fought back.

"That's not my problem," she said.

"This is your show.

"You have to pay attention to the guests that you invited on your show.

"It doesn't matter how interesting I am.

"You signed up for this job."

Handler then took a swipe at Morgan's show, which is going off-air soon after being axed by network bosses.

"Maybe that's why your job is coming to an end."

After the interview, Morgan sent Handler a message via Twitter.com.

"If I'm such a 'terrible interviewer' how come everyone's now tweeting and debating our interview mwah x," it said.
