PIERS Morgan has lashed out at Kylie Jenner after Forbes named her the youngest self-made billionaire - claiming she's dim and she'd "struggle to get into a Croydon nightclub" without her sister Kim's success.

The 21-year-old make-up entrepreneur has now overtaken Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who became a billionaire at 23.

But outspoken TV presenter Piers does not believe that Kylie has earned the title, lashing out during today's episode of Good Morning Britain.

Piers insisted the mother-of-one is only successful because her older sister, 38-year-old Kim Kardashian, found fame after her sex tape with ex Ray Jay was leaked.

Ranting to his co-host Susanna Reid, the 53-year-old star seethed: "When you say self-made billionaire, I just thought she'd got it because her sister made a sex tape and that is why they all became hugely rich.

"If Kim Kardashian hadn't made that sex tape that then got leaked... She took ownership of it, made millions and made a family franchise out of it... None of them would have ever been heard of.

"When you say 'self made', her sister had sex with somebody, the tape got leaked, and the whole family cashed in."

While Susanna and Kate Garraway desperately tried to defend Kylie, Piers went on to slam her looks,y insisting all but one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan would struggle to get into a "Croydon nightclub".

He said: "The thing about Kylie Jenner, she's not even that good looking is she? She's not!

"I would have her at number four on the list of Kardashians, and the ones above her aren't much better.

"I'm not being rude, the only hot Kardashian is Kendall [Jenner], the others... None of them are hot!

"If they weren't Kardashians, famous for the sex tape, they would not get into the average, top Croydon nightclub - and the bar is set pretty low in Croydon."

Further sticking the boot in, Piers continued: "Kendall is the only one you can honestly say is model quality. Kylie is as dim as a lump of bread."

When Susanna joked that Piers' "jealousy" was showing, the host hit back further - branding the entire family "vacuous, talentless twerps".

He added: "We don't want young girls thinking the way to get on is to be a Kardashian, because that's madness.

"Make a sex tape, make a billion - what kind of message is that?"

The rant comes hours after Piers took to his social media page to share his fury at Kylie's accolade, retweeting original article and adding: "It’s not self-made, it’s because her sister made a sex tape."

Kylie previously told the publication that she had no idea she would be so successful with her beauty range, Kylie Cosmetics.

The star, who is said to have racked in a staggering £131billion, said: "I didn't expect anything. I did not foresee the future.

"But [the recognition] feels really good. That's a nice pat on the back."
