Sporty just says no to Qatar cash

-

DAVID BECKHAM is said to be paid £10 million as an ambassador for the Qatar World Cup, but his wife Victoria’s Spice Girls bandmates do not seem impressed.

Melanie Chisholm, aka Sporty Spice, tells me she wouldn’t take the repressive Gulf state’s shilling. ‘ Personally, I’m an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and it’s not something I would feel comfortabl­e in doing,’ the singer says.

‘People want to go over there and help to make a change. Each to their own, but it would be a no from me if the offer came.’
