Joe Lycett will shred £10,000 of his own money if David Beckham doesn't drop out of World Cup

Joe Lycett has said he will shred £10,000 of his own cash if David Beckham doesn't end his sponsorship deal with the Qatar World Cup. The comedian told fans he would be prepared to donate the money to charity if David is to drop his sponsorship deal within the next week.

If the football star fails to respond positively to Joe's demands, he will be shredding the cash in a live stream on Sunday November 20, before the tournament begins. David will take home around £10m from his World Cup sponsorship deal despite the country outlawing same-sex relationships and concerns over its record on human rights. As a result, David has been heavily criticised for supporting the country and Joe said he would also lose his status as a "gay icon", The Echo reports.
