Nothing dirty about Beckham

-

DAVID Beckham’s underpants are NOT dirty, it has been ruled.

An advert featuring a semi-naked Beckham in his pants has been cleared of being “offensive” by the Advertisin­g Standards Authority despite a string of complaints.

Watchdogs launched an investigat­ion after three complaints about the digital poster ad featuring former England football captain Becks.

People complained the pic, to launch fashion chain’s H&M’S David Beckham Bodywear, featuring Becks wearing just a pair of trunk briefs, was offensive and “irresponsi­ble” because it contained material that they said was unsuitable for children to see.
