Piers Morgan: I'm more famous than the Beckhams

Ex-Fleet Street editor star says Americans love him

Piers Morgan

TV judge Piers Morgan reckons his fame in the States is greater than Posh and Becks'.

The former tabloid editor, now a judge on America's Got Talent alongside Simon Cowell, believes the American public have fallen head over heels for him.

'In Hollywood, I'm a lot more famous than the Beckhams,' he boasts. 'And I definitely get better tables in smart restaurants than I used to because I'm more socially acceptable.'

Piers, 42, says he hams up his English accent - because Americans love his rounded vowels.

'I do tend to posh it up a bit in the States,' he tells the Daily Mail Weekend. 'They see me as a James Bond. I rather like being recognised.

'In fact, I'm the perfect celebrity. I don't mind being harassed and groped.'
