Beckham advisers act over TV interview

Legal advisers acting for David Beckham have taken action over a TV interview with his former PA Rebecca Loos about their alleged affair, it was confirmed today.

Sky One, which is tonight due to air an hour-long special with the 26-year-old, said that it has received a letter from the England captain’s representatives, but would not confirm the nature of the correspondence.

A spokesman said that the interview, the first television appearance by Ms Loos since she claimed to have slept with the England captain, will be broadcast at 10pm.

He said: “Sky One have received a legal letter from David Beckham’s representatives. The programme is still scheduled to go out tonight.”

A spokeswoman for 19 Management, which represents Victoria Beckham and also handles the couple’s commercial interests, would not confirm if legal action had been taken.

She said there would be no comment from Beckham or his representatives about correspondence with Sky One.

During the programme, ‘Rebecca Loos: My Story’, Ms Loos claims there is “no doubt in her mind” about her allegations.

In the interview, conducted in Spain by Sky News anchor Kay Burley, the former PA claims she has had no reason to lie about the alleged fling and has nothing to be ashamed of.

During extracts shown on Sky News, Ms Loos said: “People are calling me a liar and calling me names and, you know, at the end of the day these are the facts.

“This is what happened, this is the truth. I should not be ashamed of this.”

She added: “I am 100% sure of what I am talking about. There is no doubt in my mind, I have no reason to lie. Why should I?”

In an another excerpt, Loos claimed: “I don’t think I was in love with him, but I think had our relationship together happened any longer than it had I think it would have definitely headed that way, that’s for sure.”

Ms Loos also claims that Beckham made her feel like “the most special woman in the world”.

Beckham, 28, has dismissed the allegations as absurd and instructed lawyers to examine claims made against him.
