David Beckham issued an official statement after Joe Lycett's money-shredding threats came to fruition.
The comedian went public with his threat to shred £10,000 of his own money if David Beckham refused to drop his World Cup deal with Qatar. The football star came under fierce scrutiny for signing a multi-million-pound contract with the host nation despite their troubling record on human rights.
Joe gave David seven days to respond to his threats, stating he would also no longer be able to identify as a "gay icon," referencing Qatar's anti-LGBT stances.
