'IT'S JUST CREEPY'
Piers Morgan calls David Beckham ‘weird’ and ‘creepy’ after the star defiantly kisses daughter Harper on the lips
PIERS Morgan has called David Beckham "weird" after he kissed daughter Harper on the lips again.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 54, attacked the football ace for a video which was taken on the Beckham family's holiday in Miami.

He asked on today's show: "Why would a father kiss his daughter on the lips? Don't get it. Creepy. Weird. Creepy.
"No one does that. You post that to the world, but why?"
Susanna Reid chipped in: "Well, the interesting thing is, he came in for a lot of criticism when he posted a video like that a couple of years ago.
"He's obviously just doubled down and thought: 'Well you know what that's what I do.'"

Not having any of it, Piers - who has three sons and a daughter - repeatedly said: "Weird, weird, weird."
He then continued to mock the retired footballer by playing an old clip from his cameo in King Arthur.
David, 44, was targeted by trolls last November, after he shared a photo of him kissing Harper, 7, while ice skating in London.
The ex-footie star's loving Instagram post was met with a stream of comments from unhappy followers claiming it was "wrong" for a father to kiss his daughter on the lips.

Piers also commented on the post, as he branded the football legend "weird".
However, troll comments are unlikely to annoy the star, who in 2017 hit out at criticism by insisting he does the same with all of his children, adding: "We want to show our kids love."
The two instances aren't the only time that Piers has launched a verbal attack on the Beckhams.
Earlier this year, the host described David and Victoria as a "total sham".

"I've never bought into the Beckham thing," he told the Mail's Weekend magazine.
He added: "I think it's a total sham. One minute they're saying, 'Leave our kids alone', and the next they're trying to turn them into Justin Biebers.
"They're rank hypocrites. I've never known any parents to pimp their kids as much as those two do."
This came just months after Piers launched his most scathing attack on the family ever during an exclusive interview with The Sun Online.

The ferocious breakfast TV star claimed that the Beckham family's 2018 Vogue cover shoot made him physically ill.
He said: "The pictures made me vomit. It's like, really? Is there no limit here? Making their kids prance about with water pistols.
"They're constantly ramming them down our throats to prop up ever dwindling Brand Beckham. I just don't buy it.
He added: "He won't even pay his speeding fines. He's trying to get off that on a technicality. We know from his emails he's the last person who should get one [knighthood]."
Although, he admitted that he hadn't always held the Beckhams in such contempt and admitted he was once pally with Victoria.
He continued: "I always got on quite well with Victoria Beckham. I've only met David once and got on quite well with him. I just find them annoying, and they find me annoying.
"It's a mutual annoyance level. I don't hate them, I don't particularly like them, and the way they put those kids out and make money off them for Brand Beckham I find vomit-making.
"That Vogue thing was utterly cringeworthy."

Piers also insulted 14-year-old Cruz's attempts to break into the music industry in 2017.
He told The Sun's TV Magazine: "Trying to turn [11-year-old] Cruz into Justin Bieber was utterly toe-curling. What are they doing to this boy? It will wreck his life in the long term. Let him go to school and be normal.
"Everything is about Brand Beckham and they have no shame. They have completely lost touch with reality and people agree with me."
