A spokesperson for David told People on Saturday: ‘This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture.’

‘David and UNICEF have had a powerful partnership in support of children for over 15 years.

‘The David Beckham 7 Fund specifically has raised millions of pounds and helped millions of vulnerable children around the world.

‘David and UNICEF are rightly proud of what they have and will continue to achieve together and are happy to let the facts speak for themselves.’
