DeGeneres pokes fun at Beckham ads

Ellen DeGeneres has poked fun at David Beckham's recent underwear campaign while interviewing the footballer on her chatshow, say reports.

The England star and wife Victoria recently posed together in a string of racy adverts for Emporio Armani, clad only in their underwear.

During the player's appearance on her daytime programme, DeGeneres revealed an alternative poster which featured her head photoshopped over Victoria's body.

"That's crazy that nobody got to see that. I felt that more people should see it and I don't have a lot power but I have some power," she said.

The comedienne then directed Beckham towards a TV screen which showed that massive billboards of the mock campaign had been hung outside the studio, in Times Square, on Sunset Boulevard and in London's Liverpool Street Station.

Discussing the real adverts, Beckham said that he was thrilled to be able to work with his wife, adding: "We never get a chance to work together and when we do, it's amazing. It was great to work with her on the day."

He also admitted that he was "very tempted" to add another tattoo to his ever-expanding collection.

DeGeneres's interview with Beckham will air tomorrow.
