In March 2020, he legally changed his name to that of German luxury designer Hugo Boss after the brand used trademark claims to target small businesses and charities that use “boss” in their branding. He later revealed the walkout was a stunt aimed at raising awareness of single-use plastics. This is not the first time Lycett has performed a public stunt, having become known for unusual acts to raise awareness of various issues.Īmong his other publicity stunts, Lycett stormed off the set of Steph’s Packed Lunch last year after its host, Steph McGovern, pointed out a photo of him using a plastic bottle after he claimed he had given up using them.

Lycett later shared a video of the act to his Twitter and wrote: “A platform for progress.” Lycett offered to donate £10,000 of his own money to LGBTQ+ charities if Beckham ended the sponsorship before the tournament started and if not, he said he would live stream himself shredding the money.Īppearing to stand by his decision, the comedian videoed himself on a Twitch stream wearing a rainbow-layered tulle outfit and placed wads of what appeared to be cash into an industrial shredder, but it was not clear if the banknotes were genuine money.
