Country Star Trace Adkins To Piers Morgan: 'I Would've Slapped The S**t Out Of You'

For those who don't remember, shortly before he was a controversial CNN anchor Piers Morgan was the winner of the first Celebrity Apprentice series after narrowly beating out country star Trace Adkins in the final round.

For Sunday's premiere of 2013's All-Star Celebrity Apprentice, Morgan returned as Donald Trump's 'advisor,' and had to face down his former season one nemeses in the likes of political consultant Omarosa and Adkins.

Naturally, some sparks flew when the rivals reunited.

At one point Morgan mocked Omarasa as a 'wonderful creature,' prompting her to make a middle-school 'your momma' joke followed up by a remark that he should check his attitude because 'this ain't CNN, Piers.'

Adkins, however, was much more terse in his anger when confronted by Morgan.

During a debriefing in Trump's office, Adkins claimed he was never actually 'pointed at' by Trump when fired in season one, and so he never actually felt fired. Trump explained that he 'never had the heart' to be so harsh to the country star.

Morgan interjected, with a smile, that he would have done it ' 'it' being pointed at Adkins and 'fired' him.

'Did you? I don't think so. I would've slapped the shit out of you,' Adkins shot back.

'Whoa!' Morgan said with a chuckle. 'Calm down, cowboy. It's not my fault I beat you.'
