FOOTIE ACE BLASTED OVER LEAKED EMAILS Piers: ‘Becks is repulsive’

-

DAVID Beckham was called “repulsive” by TV host Piers Morgan after being accused of using charity work in a bid for a knighthood.

The former journalist also reckons “Brand Beckham” is dead and Goldenball­s will never become a Sir after the furore over leaked emails said to be sent by the ex-footballer.

Last night Beckham’s representa­tives dismissed the claims, stating that the emails had been “hacked and doctored” from a private account.

In the messages, released by website Football Leaks, the former England star is said to have branded the honours committee “unapprecia­tive c**ts”.

It is also alleged the star did not want to donate his own money to a JOE HINTON charity auction run by Unicef, for whom he is an ambassador.

Plus, it is claimed he raged when singer Katherine Jenkins, 36, was given an OBE.

Good Morning Britain presenter Piers, 51, tweeted: “RIP Brand Beckham.”

He wrote to his 5.4million followers: “Nobody will be envious of David Beckham by tomorrow. They will be sickened by him.

“I think we can forget about ‘Sir David Beckham’ ever happening.”

Becks, who was given an OBE in 2003, allegedly wrote: “Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Going to see the troops plus taking F****** joke.” The allegation­s were sparked by Football Leaks, which claims to have acquired emails between Becks and his PR Simon Oliveira. The site is said to have accessed messages between the 41-year-old and his team in which he allegedly admitted to using Unicef to further his efforts to win a knighthood. Beckham’s spokesman said: “This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails.” Last night, Unicef denied claims they may end their relationsh­ip with the ex-Real Madrid ace. coke.
