Joe Lycett has confirmed that the £10,000 he put through a shredder after urging David Beckham to give up his role as an ambassador for the World Cup in Qatar was actually fake cash.
The comedian has given his final message to the footballer and admitted he was not telling the truth about loading the the stunt aimed at the 'gay icon' footballer.
He says the money that went into the machine was real, but what came out, was not. Instead Joe donated the amount to LGBTQ+ charities. The comedian went on to say while he didn't shred his cash, he has found something else to shred - Beckham's Attitude magazine cover from June 2002.
