David Beckham was called ‘weird’ for a sweet snap he shared of the innocent peck while ice skating with Harper, seven.

Now, parents are defending Beckham including Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge, who shared a video of her kissing one of her sons with footballer Wayne, David’s former England teammate.

Parents are sharing pictures of kissing their kids on the lips to suport Beckham.

One follower posted: “I don’t care what anyone says if a dad kisses a child on the lips it’s completely wrong.”

While a second said: “I feel like a kiss on the cheek is better than that on the lips. The lips is just weird.”

I can't believe there's even so much as a quizzical eyebrow at David Beckham giving his little girl a kiss on the lips. Well I can believe it, but there we are. But it does at least give me the opportunity to show Becks some solidarity, we probably don’t have that much in common normally. So here’s a picture of me giving my son a kiss. Me and you, Dave. Deviants united.

Another mum slammed the critics, writing: “I first shared this picture when @victoriabeckham was told she shouldn’t be kissing her children on the lips.

Not sure if the power of Instagram can do it but after seeing David beckham slated for kissing his daughter I’m going to see if I can get dads with daughters to share pictures of them kissing their daughter along with the hashtag #standbybeckham and show that it’s normal to do this, make sure you make your picture public as well so others can see #davidbeckham

“I’ll share it again now that @davidbeckham is under scrutiny for the same thing. Don’t be so ridiculous, the world needs to get a grip.

“Are people’s lives that warped they think kissing your own child on the lips shouldn’t be done?! Dear god.

” I kiss my babies on the lips all the time! Why wouldn’t I?! It’s a sign of love and affection.”
