Xia Vigor, 7, has so much attitude you could practically bottle it.

But her parents are facing criticism over the act, with Piers Morgan saying the little girl is being ‘sexualised’ in a ‘creepy’ way by dressing up in skimpy Taylor Swift outfits.

Her father has defended the act however, telling the MailOnline that Morgan “doesn’t understand the context”.

Alan Vigor said: “He’s wrong. He doesn’t understand the context. The culture here is very, very different. People in the Philippines see things differently.”

“On the show net week, Xia is going to dress up as Axl Rose. It’s like a pantomime. It’s been taken out of context. She’s not going a friend’s birthday party in high heels and lipstick. It’s not like that. She would never dress up like that on a normal day.”

He added: “We know the bigger picture over here so we don’t worry about Piers Morgan.”

Vigor also revealed Xia has been offered a Hollywood deal to “become the new Shirley Temple.”
