In this Christmas 2022 special, Joe Lycett locks horns with one of the world's most famous footballers to highlight the true cost of the Qatar World Cup. We join him in the nerve-shredding days leading up to his biggest headline hijacking stunt to date.
Lycett will tell the full story of how he set out to shred £10k if David Beckham did not quit his Qatar deal. Lycett has said that if David Beckham ended his relationship with Qatar he "will donate 10 grand of my own money to charities that support queer people in football."
In the end Lycett appeared to carry out his promise to shred the money but there was a twist in the tale...
Plus, the campaiging comedian brings the good fight to one of the UK's biggest sellers of Christmas cards and reunites the cast of a telly classic.

And if you like what Joe Lycett gets up to you should also watch his critically acclaimed, much-talked-about live show in the comfort of your own home. For the last four years (the very right wing artist formerly known as Hugo Boss) Joe Lycett has been working on a stunt which involved infuriating MPs, led to headlines around the world and to Mummy getting in trouble with the police (again).
Dropping not-so-subtle hints about the stunt in media appearances and concocting fictional characters to mask his endeavours, More, More, More! How Do You Lycett? How Do You Lycett? reveals all about Joe’s scheming, and comes stuffed with jokes, paintings, potty-mouthed gardening updates and much more.
Fans who purchase the show here will also get access to a bonus ‘Making of’ interview with Greg James, where Joe reveals more about how he created the show, plus the first 1,000 people to purchase the show will receive a free PDF of the tour’s programme.
Joe Lycett said: “What started as a very stupid idea turned into my favourite thing I’ve done with my life. I can’t wait for the world to hear this remarkable and ultimately ridiculous story.”
Update 15/12: Joe Lycett has tweeted the following: "UPDATE: David Beckham’s team have issued my programme with an exclusive statement, which will be broadcast tonight as part of my Got Your Back special at 9pm on @channel4
As far as we are aware this is the only statement he or his team have given to any outlet regarding his involvement in Qatar. I have been advised that legally I cannot give my opinion on it, so you’ll have to make up your own minds.
We also speak to some LGBTQ+ football teams and Dr Nasser Mohamed, the first openly gay Qatari, who Beckham blocked on Instagram. We also reunite some of the cast of Footballers’ Wives lol.
I’d like to thank the Got Your Back team and the team at Channel 4 for their extraordinary hard work on this project. Here’s a trailer."
And here is the link to the trailer.
We do not, at this stage know what the statement is. It could, of course, be part of another Lycett prank.
