Yesterday, the 43-year-old father-of-four was trolled after he shared the innocent snap to Instagram.
Today Piers, 53, called him "creepy" and "weird" for how he showed affection to his youngest child.
The presenter said: "It's just weird right? Who does that with their kids? Who kisses their kids on the lips"
Later on in the show Piers added that it was "quite creepy", while co-host Susanna Reid, 47, suggested celebrities shouldn't post pictures like that online if they didn't want "the scrutiny".

Those watching at home took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Piers' opinion.
One wrote: " I agree with Piers 99.9% on all his crusades but have to disagree on this occasion. My 7 year old daughter regularly kisses me on the lips and that’s her way of showing her love and affection for her parents I don’t see anything wrong with this."
Another commented: " Pierce Morgan I think u must have had an aunty that puckered up to u as a kid. David B is just sharing a tender moment with his little girl. Plus, she may have had a important life event. Which deserved a big kiss. When there young...a kiss is just a kiss."
A third shared: " if you think what Harper and David is weird I worry at the state of your mind . Was you damaged as a child or was you ignored ?? "
