Comedian Joe Lycett has been met with accusations of hypocrisy after fans discovered he had previously performed gigs in Qatar despite slamming David Beckham for his World Cup deal
Comedian Joe Lycett recently made headlines over his criticism of David Beckham's multi-million partnership with the World Cup in Qatar.
In a video explaining the stunt, he said: "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 b******t from the start." "Friends of mine had warned me about travelling to these countries, claiming that ‘they don’t like’, as one friend put it, ‘your lot’.
Another wrote: "So disappointed to wake up to the news that @joelycett himself sold his soul to Qatar for the dollar. Another self righteous hypocrite. Where have all the good men gone?"
