Comedian gives Beckham an ultimatum over controversial World Cup deal

Comedian Joe Lycett has threatened to shred 10,000 pounds of his own money if David Beckham does not end his controversial multi-million-pound deal with Qatar to promote the FIFA World Cup.

In an ultimatum posted on social media, the comedian also warned Beckham that his status as a gay icon will be shredded if action is not taken.

If Beckham does pull out of the deal, Lycett says he would donate the money to charities "that support queer people in football" - otherwise he will shred it.

The FIFA World Cup starts on Monday.
