Piers Morgan trolls Victoria Beckham for furloughing fashion brand staff; Calls her prima donna millionaire

Victoria Beckham recently took the decision of furloughing staff at her eponymous fashion brand in view of the Coronavirus pandemic. While she placed 30 staff members on the government scheme and granted them leave without a salary deduction, Victoria put her own salary on hold in order to help her staff members.
