David Beckham reveals shock career change as he confirms incredible new show to celebrate Champions League’s return
DAVID BECKHAM has lifted the lid on a new shock career change after entering the world of TV for the return of the Champions League.
Beckham stole the show as he gatecrashed CBS Sports’ live coverage of last night’s European action.
Beckham joined Kate Abdo, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Thierry Henry for some laugh-out-loud moments in the CBS studio.
But the Manchester United and England icon also revealed he was starting his own show on the channel soon.
Beckham revealed he will be hosting a new watch party-style show with A-listers called ‘Beckham and Friends’.
Golden Balls will be joined for various matches by one or some of his superstar celebrity friends.
Some will be from the world of football and sport, while others will have a completely different background.
And Beckham hopes the show will prove to be entertaining while allowing him to reveal his insights into the beautiful game.
Beckham said: “Each time will be a different person, a personality, and a friend of mine.
“I love watching the game and in a certain way. It’s either with my kids or with friends.

“It’s going to be that thing where I’m watching, commenting on the game with friends, and not sometimes talking about the game.
“No [they don’t have to know football]. The bar’s quite high [to be on]. No [Gary Neville won’t appear!].
Beckham’s CBS Sports appearance came days after he said his final goodbye to Sven-Goran Eriksson at the Swede’s funeral.
Friends and family paid tribute to the former England manager at a touching ceremony in his home town of Torsby, Sweden.
And Beckham, who captained Eriksson’s side during his time in charge between 2001 and 2006, appeared emotional before sharing embraces with his former boss’ loved ones.
