A jobless teenager who has already spent £20,000 to emulate David Beckham says he now wants to have gastric band surgery so he can be slim like the sports star.

Jack Johnson, 19, from Bulwell, Nottingham, has plunged himself into thousands of pounds of debt due to his obsession with the 41-year-old father-of-four.

So far, he has had Botox and tanning injections, lip fillers and teeth fillers, paid for using loans he has taken out.

Jack Johnson appeared on today's This Morning to talk about why he has spent £20,000 on treatments to look like David Beckham

Jack said he will need to have a gastric band fitted to emulate the footballer's slim figure as he can't lose weight via diet and exercise alone

The teenager appeared on today's This Morning to share his story and presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Scofield.

He said he now plans to have a gastric band to complete his transformation, as he believes his weight is currently holding him back from truly looking like his idol.

'I know I am not slim like David Beckham,' he said. 'I have tried to lose weight, I have tried every diet, every exercise and I can't do it. I need the gastric band to help me.'

He added: 'I will be happy if I look like David Beckham, I want his lifestyle.'

Jack said he believes it is his destiny to be famous like the football star, and he is willing to 'work hard' to achieve the same level of success.

The teenager said he wants to become famous as an actor or TV presenter so he can have a lifestyle like Beckham, as well as his looks

Jack told presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield he doesn't know how he will be able to pay back the loans he has taken out to have beauty treatments

But Phillip queried how he could possibly replicate Beckham's career when he didn't have his sporting skills.

Phillip asked him: 'How are you going to emulate David Beckham's lifestyle, he became famous as one of the world's best footballers, what is your talent?'

Jack said he didn't know but said he felt he could only be happy if he had a career in the media.

'I don't know, I will do anything,' he said. 'All my life I have been different and I have never fitted in. I believe I should be on TV, acting or presenting.

'I want to be good at it, I believe I can, I want to work my butt off to get my goal.'

Despite his ambitions, Jack is currently unemployed and gains £15,000 a year in benefits.

The teen said he won't be happy till he look like Beckham and has a career like his

He admitted he has no idea how he will be able to pay back the loans he has already taken out to have surgery and he will become even deeper in debt if he takes out another to have the weight loss op.

Phillip tried to give him a wake-up call asking him: 'Won't that make you sadder? You won't look like David Beckham and you are incredibly in debt.

'My concern is you have set yourself such a massive goal you will never get to that level of happiness.'

His co-host Holly agreed as she told him no amount of surgery would make him happy if he didn't first 'learn to love yourself.'

This Morning viewers agreed with the presenters that Jack needed help. They took to Twitter to express their concern and anger over the 'deluded' teenager.

This Morning viewers took to Twitter to say Jack was 'lazy' and 'deluded'

Emerald Isle Duchess ‏@onziiEone2 said: '@thismorning @IAMJACKJOHNSON6 this is a joke right?? Forget Becks and work on your inner issues first mate! Your reasoning isn't logical!'

Many pointed out that despite the thousands Jack has spent so far, he still doesn't look like his idol.

Roz Griffiths ‏@rozknitroz wrote: '@thismorning he looks more like Katie Price' and Katie Mcgowan ‏@katiemcg20 tweeted: '@thismorning @IAMJACKJOHNSON6 he doesn't even look like David beckham! He needs to come down to the real world and get a real job!'

Jack;s appearance provoked quite a debate among viewers who were concerned over his mental health and unrealistic goals

Emma Durane agreed tweeting: '@thismorning @IAMJACKJOHNSON6 what a joke he's nothing like him get a job and be yourself.'

Jennia Gorgun said he was 'a lazy man with unreal dreams.'

Others were more sympathetic and expressed concern over Jack's mental health.

Among them were Donna bennett @Donnam1967 who tweeted: '@thismorning @IAMJACKJOHNSON6 Poor lad needs help, heart breaking that he thinks he doesn't fit it anywhere!'

Jack Johnson is so infatuated with David Beckham he has splashed thousands on cosmetic treatments including Botox injections, lip fillers and teeth fillers

Spot the difference: While Jack confesses he's no football fan, he has modelled his look on Mr Beckham (right) and says the taxpayer's money he has spent is 'worth it completely'

As reported in last week's FEMAIL, Jack has been splashing out to look like his idol.

'I've always wanted to look like him because there isn't a person on this planet who can say he is ugly,' he told the Nottingham Post.

Yet his family seem less than pleased about his spending habits; his older brother Aaron, 25, was quoted as saying that Jack should 'calm it down'.

Jack says: 'I've always wanted to look like (David Beckham) because there isn't a person on this planet who can say he is ugly. I love the way he looks and his personality'

Jack, who has tan injections every month, plans to get a hair transplant along with a hand tattoo to match the England star's, and is hoping to undergo gastric band surgery

'He has gone too over the top, but there is no stopping him,' he told the newspaper. 'He wants to be famous and he's one-of-a-kind.

'He has got TV offers coming out from everywhere and I'm in shock. I can't believe it. If it makes him happy then we just have to support him, but deep down I think he knows he doesn't look like David Beckham.'

The bleached blonde has also enraged the public, some of whom have criticised his attitude to money and blasted him as 'delusional'.

One woman wrote on his Facebook page: 'Stop spunging off the state. I hope the council stop your benefits (sic.)' while a man called him a 'vile person'.

Another added: 'If you have that much disposable income whilst on benefits, something isn't right.'

But Jack, who began his transformation two years ago, remains defiant of his choices - and even insists that certain cosmetic treatments should be available on the NHS.

'I understand there are other things out there on the NHS that are important,' he told the Daily Star Online.
