Becker: "I once ate a shoe"

Former tennis star, Boris Becker, has today admitted that he once ate a shoe shaped like Abraham Lincoln on a Thursday which he had mistaken for a cake.
The admission came at an event where Boris was booked as the after-dinner speaker.
Many guests walked out when the story was told.

The £3,948.26 per head event had caused some controversy, as it had been planned to take place underwater.
But the Thames Committee had turned down the event application.
London Mayor Boris Johnson felt this was a little harsh, but later admitted he was too busy trying to figure out how to use his toaster to care.

Meanwhile Becker has vowed to continue with his after-dinner spokesman career.
