David Beckham and Joe Lycett
COMEDIAN Joe Lycett has called on former England midfield sensation David Beckham to drop his ambassadorial role for the upcoming Fifa World Cup in Qatar.
In a video posted to Twitter on Sunday, the comic and activist delivered an ultimatum to Beckham: end his reported £10-million deal with Qatar or Lycett will shred £10,000 of his own money.
Lycett, who once changed his name to Hugo Boss in protest against the fashion company's threats to sue small businesses that used the words ‘Hugo’ or ‘Boss’, said he considered Beckham to be a gay icon.
