Joe Lycett
The comedian, broadcaster and LGBTQ+ rights activist Joe Lycett, who challenged David Beckham to end his role as an ambassador for the Qatar World Cup.
Stand-up comic, broadcaster and LGBT rights activist, Joe Lycett, appeared to shred 拢10,000 of his own hard-earned comedy cash in protest at footballer David Beckham鈥檚 refusal to step down as an ambassador for the Qatar World Cup - a country where homosexuality is banned.
He didn't really do it - but it's the latest in a series of stunts that have become the comedian's calling card.
Friends, relatives and colleagues reveal how Joe Lycett went from drama-loving schoolboy to 'Esther Rantzen in a sparkly jumpsuit'.
