Davina McCall takes down scathing post about Princess Diana's 'stiff' statue

Davina McCall has removed her comment from Piers Morgan’s feed which saw her criticise the new Princess Diana statue.

The 53-year-old couldn’t resist sharing her opinion after she laid eyes on the monument after the great unveiling on Thursday.

In honour of what would have been Diana’s 60th birthday, her sons Princes William and Harry uncovered a new statue of their mother.

The stone tribute will be a feature in the gardens of her Kensington Palace home.

However, since the royal brothers showcased the statue, many including Davina have not been impressed.

Outspoken Piers Morgan took to Twitter sharing an image with a caption that included: “Let’s be honest – it’s not a great statue of Diana.”

Responding to The Life Stories host, the Masked Singer UK judge also explained that she was not a fan.

She replied to Piers: “I really wanted to like it.

“But somehow… It doesn’t feel very Diana? Her joie de virvre… her radiance, her compassion. It feels stiff.”

Davina has since removed her comment from the Piers’ post.

It seems that the former Good Morning Britain host and the Long Lost Families starlet were not alone in their disappointment.

ITV’s longstanding presenter Lorraine Kelly also slammed the tribute statue, explaining on her programme that it “doesn’t do her justice”.

Lorraine also told a royal expert Russell Myers on the show, that she just “didn’t like it”.

She turned to Russell as a picture of the statue flashed up on the screen, she said: “I don’t really like it.

“I’m sorry. I don’t really like the outfit. But what I do like is the strength. She looks very strong.”

Russell Myers added: “It’s quite big. It’s one and a quarter life-size and then it’s on a plinth.

“It’s towering and I thought the boys looked like two little children looking up at it. It will polarise opinion.”

The TV star hitback: “I just don’t think it does her justice.”
