Amanda Holden defends kissing daughter, 6, on the lips after David Beckham was trolled for kissing Harper
AMANDA Holden has hit out at trolls after sharing a snap of her kissing her 6-year-old daughter on the lips.
Following last year's backlash when David Beckham was criticised for kissing his daughter Harper on the mouth, the 47-year-old Britain's Got Talent star posted the sweet mother-daughter moment on Instagram.
Captioning the cute photo, Amanda wrote: "#me and my #babygirl #Hrh# topknot #twinning #family by #mylub #rcmemories #thailounge #more #food. My #girlfriends tell me Dry Jan starts on 7th."
Many followers were quick to guess the photo would cause a stir.
One fan commented: "Standby for trolls saying kissing on lips is perverted or some crap!"
Defending the post Amanda replied: "Bollocks to them. #family. They’re not well x."
Another follower quipped: "What would @thepiersmorgan say ????" as Amanda hilariously responded: "Well there’s no papoose so we should be ok!"
She continued to stick up for the photo writing: "I think people who question and write otherwise really aren’t well!!"
The comments come after Becks was targeted last November by trolls 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.
In 2017 he hit out at criticism of his show of affection by insisting he does the same with all of his children, adding: "We want to show our kids love."
