Victoria Beckham defended on Good Morning Britain by Susanna Reid as Piers Morgan hits out at former Spice Girl’s decision to furlough staff
April 20, 2020 - 09:03 BST Gemma Strong Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid found themselves at loggerheads on Monday morning during a discussion about Victoria Beckham's decision to furlough 30 members of staff. The Good Morning Britain star accused the designer of making the taxpayer"fund their loss-making vanity project".
"But no - Victoria Beckham decided her gift to the nation would be to take tax payer money to furlough her staff. I wonder when the next video of them drinking two grand bottles of wine or boasting about their new £17million home in Miami." He concluded:"This furlough scheme was not for primadonna, multimillionaires like you two, running a failed vanity business that makes no money.
However, Susanna quickly came to Victoria's defence, highlighting that the furlough scheme does not specify that it is only for essential or small businesses. She further stated that Victoria was paying the difference in the staff's wages, with the furlough scheme covering 80 per cent of earnings."I feel comfortable about the fact that the furlough scheme is about saving jobs," she told Piers.
Victoria and husband David took part in the star-studded One World: Together at Home live broadcast at the weekend, to introduce Sir Elton John's performance of I'm Still Standing. David started by saying,"Hi everyone. It's great for us to be able to join you for this amazing event and lend our support to the global community all coming together at this difficult time for our world.
