British actor JOHN CLEESE has denied seeing AMERICA'S GOT TALENT judge PIERS MORGAN fighting with HARRY POTTER star ROBBIE COLTRANE while they all dined at a famed London restaurant.
Morgan and Coltrane - who plays Hagrid in the hit movie franchise - were reported to have nearly come to blows during a recent incident at the Ivy eaterie, after Morgan allegedly heard the actor call him an "arsehole".
An onlooker tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "Piers was red-faced with anger and snarled at Robbie, 'If you've got something to say to me, say it to my face.'
"It was all a little undignified but Piers didn't start it."
The reality TV judge's verbal outburst is said to have stunned diners, including Faulty Towers star Cleese.
But a representative for the actor has dismissed reports he saw an altercation between the two men, saying, "He didn't witness a row of any kind, although he did chat with Robbie."
