Beckham denies Jordan's hints of an affair

David Beckham has issued a strenuous denial after Jordan hinted of an affair with the England captain.

Jordan seems to have made the allegation while appearing on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here.

But Beckham's spokeswoman Caroline McAteer said: "It is a false allegation and will be dealt with by David's lawyers."

DJ Mike Read, who was the first to be evicted from the ITV1 show, told The Sun that Jordan confessed to having an affair with Formula One racing driver Ralf Schumacher.

Read said Jordan then added: "There's someone bigger." When asked if that someone was Beckham, the model simply nodded, according to the former Radio 1 DJ.

Ex-Atomic Kitten Kerry McFadden, footballer Neil "Razor" Ruddock and Read all appeared shocked when they heard the news. McFadden was said to have replied: "That's going to be front page news every day for weeks."

Ms McAteer would not comment on whether legal action had already been launched by Beckham. As rumours of the affair have spread in the press, Beckham has consistently denied any relationship.

Earlier this week, he told reporters he had only met Jordan once - at dinner with his wife Victoria and Jordan's then boyfriend Dane Bowyers. He added: "No offence, but she isn't my type. My only type is Victoria."
