DAVID Beckham has signed a big money deal to advertise Nespresso — despite admitting his coffee-drinking habits make him sound like “a right kb”.
The former England football captain was unveiled as the brand’s latest celebrity brand partner yesterday.
He joins Hollywood actor George Clooney, 62, on Nespresso’s books.
But earlier this year, he confessed he had a bizarre coffee habit when asked about his daily routine.
Becks, 48, told his pal and former Man United teammate Gary Neville in a YouTube chat: “The weird thing is — and I’m going to sound like a right k**b now — in London I have just black coffee, but in the countryside, I have a latte.”
Becks, who with wife Posh Spice is said to be worth £425million, already had a raft of mega-bucks brand deals.
