Could Cruz Beckham get any more adorable?

Not content with the odd Instagram post teasing us with his tiny popstar credentials, Cruz Beckham, the son of David and Victoria Beckham, has only gone and gone and released his debut single!

The 11-year-old's recording of 'If Every Day Was Christmas' received its first radio play on Capital FM on Wednesday morning - with all the proceeds going to Global's Make Some Noise charity, supporting disadvantaged young people in the UK.

Alongside his dad David, Cruz, 11, joined Capital FM to sing a verse from the track, If Every Day Was Christmas and even had his first ever interview.

"It’s amazing. It’s two of my favourite things – singing and Christmas – and it’s amazing to put those together and the money is going to charity,” he told the station.

Cruz’s father, David, who also appeared in the FaceTime interview, said: "I’m really proud. He’s having fun, he’s enjoying it."

Great right? What's wrong with a young kid following his dreams?

Well, Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan didn't think so, as he slammed Cruz's manager Scooter Braun (who also manages Justin Bieber) for trying to 'pimp out' Cruz for the sake of making money.

Piers, getting out a "sick bucket", said: "I say why don’t you go to school, mate, because you’re not famous, your parents are famous … stop putting these kids into the public domain while simultaneously saying privacy."

Braun hit back on Twitter, saying of Cruz: "He is an 11-year-old who wanted to make a song to help other kids. Once again Piers shows why he is a jackass and why his (US) show was cancelled.

"Some people in this world make a living out of finding the worst in every situation. It means they have a career … not class. Just a career."

Pier's co-host Susanna Reid, also had her say on the whole debacle, tweeting a rather different opinion to her TV 'husband':

"I imagine if your parents are that famous, it's hard to find 'a level playing field'. Why not use that fame to raise money for charity?"

Cruz also spilled the beans about his parents as he played the game Mr and Mrs Beckham during the Capital interview.

Asked who was more likely to fall asleep on the sofa while watching TV, he replied: "Definitely my mum."

Quizzed about who is more likely to say a naughty word, he added: "100% my mum.”

He said his singer-turned-fashion designer mother was also more likely to tell a bad joke and when asked who takes the longest to get ready, he replied: "100% my mum. My dad takes about 10 minutes, my mum takes about 10 hours.”

But when questioned about who is "more likely to embarrass you", he added: "Definitely my dad."
