Piers Morgan has taken a savage swipe at ex-songstress Victoria Beckham, reposting a TikTok video of the fashion designer taking to the mic for a karaoke rendition of Spice Girls classic Say You’ll Be There.
Victoria had been celebrating the triumph of husband David Beckham’s football team Inter Miami after a big win on Sunday, courtesy of top player Lionel Messi.
She embraced her husband warmly while singing the lyrics to the 1996 Spice Girls hit Say You’ll Be There, but 17 years on from its release, Piers felt that her vocals failed to impress.
“This may explain why Victoria Beckham isn’t taking part in any Spice Girls reunions…” Piers told his 8.5 million followers as he attached a clip of a delighted Victoria shimmying around.
However, Victoria herself insisted on TikTok: “Warming up the vocals in Miami! More to come.”
As the unexpected vocal rendition sent the internet into meltdown, some fans begged for a Spice Girls reunion, saying it couldn’t come soon enough for them.
Yet @duchessofnewam joked: “GoldenBalls could probably sing it better…”
@MarcoThomas1 defended Victoria, quizzing: “Why do you have to be so hateful as you’ve got older Piers? You’re just turning really unpleasant, not funny, just quite nasty.”
@shionabattersby added that Piers was “too harsh” as the star formerly known as Posh Spice was simply “letting her hair down”.
Victoria might have disagreed with that description of herself when she took to TikTok to let fans know: “No really, I did not drink that much.”
She added that the performance was “just a casual night out in Miami”, following an electrifying win that was witnessed by the likes of Kim Kardashian, Serena Williams and LeBron James.
After Lionel Messi’s monumental goal, David was seemingly left in tears of joy, his eyes sparkling with emotion – and Victoria placed a supportive hand on his back afterwards as he headed off to celebrate the win.
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian – who attended the match with her son Saint – appeared to have been inundated with selfie requests from fellow attendees, ending up even posing with Victoria and David.
The 42-year-old model, reality star and Instagram entrepreneur spoke to Apple TV before the game to reveal that her son’s passion for the sport is the driving force behind her appearances at matches.
“All summer we’re going to different exhibition games,” she explained before making the surprise revelation that she once played soccer for five or six years.
“I was goalie – and center-forward – I wasn’t bad, you know!” she enthused, adding: “I loved it, so I’m happy that my boy loves it – and that we can come.”
Meanwhile, although sources suggest that Victoria may not be joining her former bandmates onstage anytime soon, she is expected to participate in a forthcoming Spice Girls documentary by Star Wars director J.J. Abrams.
