Comedian says that if footballer does not cut ties with event his ‘status as a gay icon will be shredded’ along with the cash
Joe Lycett has said he will put £10,000 of his own money into a shredder in one week’s time if David Beckham does not end his multimillion pound deal with Qatar to promote the 2022 World Cup.
Issuing the challenge, the comedian said he would donate the money to charity if Beckham agreed to cut ties with the World Cup host, but if not, the footballer’s “status as a gay icon will be shredded” along with the cash in a livestream next Sunday before the opening ceremony.
