Channel apologizes for Beckham prank

AN Italian television channel has apologized for a prank in which a female presenter grabbed David Beckham's crotch as he gave a TV interview.

The AC Milan midfielder was visibly angered when Elena Di Cioccio, who fronts the popular show "Le Iene" (The Hyenas) on Italia Uno, made her move while the football player was being interviewed by another person on Wednesday. Security immediately hustled the 34-year-old Beckham into a nearby hotel. As guards pulled her away, Elena, wearing yellow gloves, yelled: "I touched it, it's small." Beckham's spokesman Simon Oliveira says he has "no issue with it. It did surprise him at the time, but David saw it for what it was -- harmless fun."
