Joe Lycett has pulled a blinder and revealed that the £10,000 he supposedly shredded was, in actual fact, fake.
The comedian had delivered an ultimatum to David Beckham, urging the former England footballer to step down from being an ambassador to Qatar during the World Cup in light of the country’s human rights controversy.
Homosexuality is illegal in the Middle Eastern nation and there have been questions over the deaths of local workers helping to build stadiums for the sporting event.
However, Beckham didn’t back down prompting Lycett to share a video of himself apparently throwing wads of cash into a large shredder.
It has now emerged that it wasn’t bank notes totalling £10k, but in fact, Beckham’s Attitude magazine cover.
Confirming the hoax, Lycett said in a new video on Monday: ‘This is my final message to David Beckham, it’s me, that prick who shredded loads of money in a cost of living crisis.

‘So, where were we? I told you I was gonna destroy £10,000 if you didn’t end your relationship with Qatar before the first day of the world cup, and then when you didn’t end your relationship or even respond in any way, I streamed myself dropping 10k into a shredder, or did I?’
He continued: ‘I haven’t quite told you the whole truth – the truth is the money that went into the shredder was real, but the money that came out was fake. I would never destroy real money.
‘I would never be so irresponsible, in fact, the 10 grand had already been donated to LGBTQ+ charities before I even pressed send on the initial tweet last week. I never expected to hear from you, it was an empty threat designed to get people talking. In many ways it was like your deal with Qatar David – total bulls**t from the start.’
