TalkSPORT presenter Shebahn Aherne has apologised after facing backlash for a joke about David Beckham, made as the Beckham family feud escalated. Brooklyn Beckham publicly criticised his parents on Instagram, accusing them of trying to ruin his marriage to Nicola Peltz.
Aherne recalled an interview with David Beckham, joking that she had sniffed her arm after he touched it. The comment was criticised for objectifying the former footballer, prompting Aherne to apologise, stating it was intended as a light-hearted joke.
Brooklyn Beckham's statement on Monday accused his parents of valuing public promotion over family. He has been estranged from his family for some time, missing his father's 50th birthday. David Beckham, speaking on CNBC, did not directly address the feud but said children make mistakes and should be allowed to learn from them.
