Becks’ Hand-Job

‘GERMAN-loving porn baron Richard Desmond last week announced that he was swinging the weight of his publishing stable behind the Tory party.

The back cover

The Express announced its “historic” decision in a front-page article which explained that it was fed-up with the “spin and deception” of Tony Blair’s Labour Government.

Asian Babes quoted the Government’s decision to go to war in Iraq as reason to withdraw its support, Big Ones condemned its tax-and-spend policies and Spunk Loving Sluts said they had lost all faith in the Prime Minister himself.

But what of OK!?

Well, unlike the Express, it appears not to have lost its appetite for spin and deception.

Indeed, this week it boasts an example of the dark arts that would make Alistair Campbell blush.

“Me, David Beckham And The Drunken Threesome,” promises the cover by way of introduction to a “world exclusive” interview with Jordan.

(The same “world exclusive”, incidentally, that Star readers have been enjoying over recent days.)

The story inside – available to anyone prepared to hand over the £2 cover price for the magazine - is of course the by-now-familiar tale of the England football captain’s night of shame.

The story of how he and wife Victoria lured Jordan back to Beckingham Palace, plied her with alcohol (and gourmet kebabs) and indulged in a night of unbridled carnality.

That at least was what we were expecting to read. The reality is somewhat different, but just as shocking.

At a party at a London club and while standing next to Victoria, David Beckham took hold of Jordan’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze – “as if to reassure me that I shouldn’t be overawed by all the hype”.

That’s right, he squeezed her hand – a gesture that is considered in certain circles of society (notably Jordan’s) much more risqué than, say, group sex.

Not that Jordan is any stranger to group sex – she reveals (as she had in the Star a week earlier) how she let ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers fulfil the ultimate fantasy, a threesome with her and another girl.

But letting him hold her hand and squeeze it gently? What kind of girl do you take Jordan for..?’
