A series of emails leaked on Friday night revealed that former England skipper David Beckham used charity work as part of a desperate campaign to win a knighthood.
According to a report in The Sun, the 41-year-old Beckham, who currently holds an OBE, branded the honours committee &ldquo;unappreciative c***s&rdquo; and dismissed lower awards, ranting: &ldquo;Unless it's a knighthood, f*** off.&rdquo;
According to a number of European media reports, Beckham had demanded a &pound;6685 payment from UNICEF and a business class flight despite his sponsors splashing out on a private jet. The leaked messages between Beckham and his closest aides could shatter the UNICEF ambassador's reputation.
Neither Beckham's representatives nor himself were available for comment.
