The comedian appears to destroy wads of banknotes in an industrial shredder in a clip posted on Twitter.

Comedian Joe Lycett has appeared to shred £10,000 of his own money in a protest against David Beckham's role as an ambassador for the Qatar World Cup.

Former culture secretary Nadine Dorries was among those to criticise Lycett, and called the move a publicity stunt.The stunt, which took place on the same day the controversial World Cup begins, has attracted a mixed reaction, with some suggesting Lycett should have instead donated the money to a charitable cause.

She added that "no-one will think any worse of him now if he changes his mind at the last minute and donates it to a homeless shelter in time for Christmas". "Well done Joe," he wrote. "However, may I point you in the direction of a perfectly brilliant fully automated unused blackmail money shredder device."
