Italian scribe grabs Beckham's manhood

Footballer David Beckham was victim of sex assault when an Italian journalist groped him as part of a TV show.

David Beckham became a victim of a prank played by an Italian TV show called Le lene (The Hyenas). Elena Di Cioccio, an anchor tried to grab his testicles. Beckham was in the middle of an interview in the street of Milan, Daily Mail has reported.

The show La lene planned this prank to verify whether Beckam's package was enhanced for Armani ads. It was in the middle of the shoot that the blonde anchor pounced on the unsuspecting soccer player on the street.

The security then hurriedly took him away. The journo was reported saying that she wanted to see "how he measured up."

Di Cioccio told viewers: "We have seen fascinating pictures of the footballer in his underpants and is seemingly well endowed and even his wife says he is well-equipped and calls him 'Golden Balls'. Well the image may have slipped slightly as he has been replaced by Cristiano Ronaldo, we just wanted to find out if he was as well endowed as the picture."

We're sure his wife Victoria Beckham is not amused either with this breach of privacy.
