Joe Lycett says David Beckham's team have reached out to him after £10k money shred stunt

Joe Lycett says he has spoken to David Beckham 's team amid the recent controversy about the former footballer's involvement with the World Cup in Qatar.

The comedian, 34, had publicly urged David, 47, to pull out of his multi-million pound sponsorship deal last month over the treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals in the country.

David did not fulfil the request, prompting Joe to 'pretend to shred' £10,000 - with him later telling his followers that he had actually donated the money to charity instead.
