David Beckham kisses Harper, 7, on the lips again after Piers Morgan slams it as ‘creepy’
DAVID Beckham was seen kissing daughter Harper, 7, on the lips - after Piers Morgan slammed it as creepy.
The sporting legend, 44, showed his little girl some affection during a Father's Deal meal in Seville.
David's wife Victoria and their sons Romeo, Harper and Cruz were also in attendance.
He said earlier this month: "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 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."
