'Stop with the Botox, you look like an apple - Cristiano Ronaldo tells football pundit Simon Jordan for criticising him

Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo has taken a savage swipe at football pundit Simon Jordan after the former Crystal Palace chairman criticised the Portugal captain over his recent fallout with head coach Jorge Jesus.

The exchange came after Jordan clashed with broadcaster Piers Morgan during a talkSPORT discussion about Ronaldo’s controversial departure from the Portugal camp.

Morgan defended Ronaldo's position as he clashed with Jordan, accusing Jesus of not showing the 41-year-old sufficient respect for his status in the game. 

He later revealed on his Football Uncensored programme that he had sent the Portuguese star a clip of his heated exchange with Jordan.

According to Morgan, Ronaldo responded with a personal message aimed at the 59-year-old pundit.

'Cristiano texted back: 'That blonde guy - tell him to stop with the Botox. He looks like an apple',' Morgan read aloud, much to Cundy's amusement.

'Live breaking news from Cristiano Ronaldo,' he added. 'You are an apple.

'You suspiciously smooth blonde-faced apple.'
