Beckhams to feature in Marge's message

Marge Simpson is to have a pop at David and Victoria Beckham when she delivers the alternative Christmas message for Channel 4 this year.

Her speech will allude to the alleged affair between David and his ex-PA, Rebecca Loos. According to The Sun, Marge will announce: "Our marriage is as solid as the union between your David Beckham and Posh Spice."

She will then show a look of utter shock and dismay, saying "Oh he did? With his assistant? That's so sad ... OK, moving on ..." as her earpiece tells her the dirty story.

Also to come under Marge's critical gaze will be Anglo-American relations: "You're like Mini Me to our Dr Evil - helping out in all our zany schemes to take over the world."

The message will be broadcast on Channel 4 at 3pm on Christmas Day.
