Reporter grabs Beckham between the legs

ENGLAND soccer star David Beckham was “surprised” when a female Italian TV presenter made a grab between his legs, his spokesman said yesterday.

The midfielder, who is on loan to AC Milan from Los Angeles Galaxy, was giving an interview outside a hotel when Elena Di Cioccio, wearing yellow rubber gloves, moved up to him and touched him between the legs.

The stunt was apparently to “test” whether the 34-year-old former Manchester United player measured up to his photo in Armani advertisements, in which he wears close-fitting underwear.
