Dressed in a uniform of red T-shirt and slacks, with a nametag on and his face obscured by a cap, David posed as an employee of US high street store Target.

Prompted by Ellen, speaking to him through a hidden earpiece, the footie ace goes through a bizarre sales routine that involves spraying the scent on his leg.

The Galaxy midfielder is seen telling customers: "It smells better on my leg" and encouraging them to have a sniff.

When one shopper recognises him he say: "Stop spreading rumours. I'm not David Beckham"The funniest moment comes when someone asks the 'salesman' where he's from and he responds 'Texas' – at Ellen's prompting he then starts singing 'Howdy Partner' at the top of his voice.
