David Beckham was left with red hot genitals because of a faulty car heater.

The English soccer star ran into trouble when the heated seats of his 4x4 car malfunctioned in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Galaxy player was driving when the setting jammed on heat, forcing him to pull over and find something to cushion his scorched manhood.

An onlooker told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "One minute he was tearing across Los Angeles, the next, he was rolling down his windows, panting and staring down at his crotch in horror.

"There were lots of fans and paparazzi following him, making it even more difficult for him to sort out his boiling bits. He was gutted to be caught cushioning his seat from the hot leather."

David recently showed the world his seemingly impressive tackle in a series of new adverts for Emporio Armani.

The 33-year-old sports superstar models the fashion house's autumn and winter 2009 underwear collection.

Meanwhile, Will Smith revealed at the premiere of his latest film 'Hancock' last night (18.06.08) that David is going to give him soccer lessons.

Smith said: "David Beckham is one of the best soccer players in the world. I begged him to teach me how to play and he promises he will. I can't wait."
