David Beckham got the shock of his life when prankster Elena di Cioccio Italys answer to Naked Camera groped him on live TV. Donning yellow cleaning gloves, she stalked, moved in on and cupped the stunned 34-year-old while he chatted to reporters. Gobsmacked, the midfielder stared angrily at her as he stumbled back- wards, and was led away in a car. Di Cioccio had told viewers of her Le Iene (The Hyena) show she was determined to see if Becks Emporio Armani packet was the real deal. I touched it but its small, the TV presenter said afterwards, adding to the humiliation of the footballer recently replaced in the Armani campaign by Cristiano Ronaldo. David, you have conned us all. What did you use, cotton wool? Its all a trick, she added. A spokesman for Beckham insisted the star thought the stunt was harmless fun. She didnt actually grab it she got his trouser leg, he added. However, an insider said: David was not at all pleased. Luckily, his security team stopped her having another go.
