David and Victoria Beckham are no strangers to being the targets of parody and mockery. The latest attempt to poke fun at the couple comes from 70-year-old magician Paul Daniels and his 50-year-old wife Debbie McGee.

The couple decided to get back at [tabloids who published unflattering photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mens-wearhouse) of Debbie McGee by posing for Closer Magazine in their underwear in a [mock parody](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spoof-beauty-range) of a recent [Emporio Armani underwear ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-butt) featuring David and Victoria Beckham.
