David Beckham and his golden balls were molested while doing an interview. Some crazed, albeit brave, talk show host donned rubber gloves and grabbed Beckham by the bulge. The gag was to see if his manhood had been digitally altered for his infamous Armani underwear ad.

“Well the image may have slipped slightly as he has been replaced in the Armani campaign by a younger footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, but we wanted to find out if he was as well endowed as the pictures suggest or if they were touched up,” she said. Moments later she was caught on camera making her swoop.

Gleefully beaming at the video camera and flashing her gloves, Di Cioccio slid her hands down Becks’ body and groped football’s most famous package.”

The prankster was stopped after the first grope by David’s security team as he was then whisked away in a black car. He wasn’t exactly thrilled with being man-handled. The joke failed to make him giggle.

“David was not at all pleased with this stunt. He didn’t know what was going on and luckily the security team stepped in and stopped her having another go.” Insiders at Le Iene said: “It was just a joke and we hope that Beckham took it in the spirit it was meant.”

I am eager to hear what Vicky had to say about the how’s-your-father. I can’t judge. I would probably do the same thing given a chance. Of course, I too would wear rubber gloves and have the courtesy to buy him a steak dinner first.
