Joan Rivers calls Kim Kardashian's daughter 'ugly'

Comedian Joan Rivers has called Kim Kardashian's daughter "ugly" on her show.

The 80-year-old joked about the seven-month-old North as part of her latest stand-up comedy.

According to radaronline.com, Rivers told her audience: "That baby is ugly...I've never seen a six-month-old so desperately in need of a waxing."

When Kim first revealed a photo of her child on social media in mid-December, she was inundated by comments that she had waxed the baby's perfectly groomed brows.

The 33-year-old then took to Twitter to defend North's appearance.

River's joke is unlikely to go down well with Kim's fiance and rapper Kanye West who is very protective about his daughter.
