Loos: Fling might be good for Beckham marriage

Rebecca Loos claimed today that her alleged fling with David Beckham might actually be good for his marriage.

The former PA said news of the England captain’s alleged infidelity could strengthen the star’s relationship with wife Victoria.

And she blamed the former Spice Girl for letting the affair happen, saying: “If there hadn’t been a gap in that bed I wouldn’t have been in it.”

Loos gave her second TV interview in the space of a week to Channel 4’s Richard and Judy show.

Describing the alleged fling with the footballer as a mere “hiccup” for the Beckhams, she said she hoped the marriage would survive.

“Every relationship goes through hiccups. That’s what keeps a relationship strong and keeps it going in many ways.” she said.

Co-presenter Judy Finnigan asked her: “It’s been speculated that the affair happened because he was lonely, because Victoria was not in Spain. Do you agree with that?”

Loos replied: “To a great extent I would, yes. I feel that if there hadn’t been a gap in that bed I wouldn’t have been in it.”

Beckham has dismissed her claims as “ludicrous” and his lawyers are said to be considering legal action over fresh revelations.

Asked if she felt guilty about the alleged affair, Loos replied: “I did play a part in it.”

Presenter Richard Madeley spluttered: “50% of it, love.”

She shot back: “Well, so did he. And we know now I wasn’t the only one,” referring to claims made by Malaysian-born escort girl Sarah Marbeck.

Loos claimed Beckham had insisted to her she was the only “other woman” in his life.

“We were in bed and I said ‘you must have had so many lovers’,” she said.

“He said ‘no, of course not, I’m far too much of a public figure’.”

Loos said she had “stupidly” believed his claims.

And she complained about opinion polls which show the public blame either her or Victoria for any affair, but not David.

“It’s often that, isn’t it, that the guys get a pat on the back,” she said.

The privately-educated PA said she had never set out to do a kiss-and-tell.

“I didn’t fall for the England captain, I didn’t fall for the image, I fell for the man behind that,” she insisted. “That was where my feelings came from.”

She laughed off suggestions that she was to make £1m (€1.5m) for her story, claiming the real figure was “nowhere near” that sum.

But her publicist Max Clifford claimed today she had made £800,000 (€1.2m) so far and is relishing her new-found fame.

“I can see it in her eyes,” he told the Evening Standard. I can tell she loves the money and the attention.”

He said that when Loos came to him she “was worried that she wouldn’t be able to work again as a PA. I explained that the money I could generate from this would mean she wouldn’t have to work again.”

And she may have two more bombshell kiss-and-tell stories up her sleeve.

Bisexual Loos has had sex with two other “major stars, one male and one female”, Clifford claims.

She certainly looked every inch the celebrity as she arrived at the Richard and Judy studios in Kennington, south London, for the interview.

Wearing Posh-style oversized shades and swathed in a pale green pashmina, she smiled for waiting photographers before sweeping into the building with her new agent Cheryl Barrymore, ex-wife of shamed TV star Michael Barrymore.

Meanwhile, Victoria will be hoping to win the PR war when she makes her first official public appearance tonight.

The former Spice Girl is due to sing at the Royal Albert Hall, at a party thrown by her management company 19.

The company is celebrating its 19th birthday and Victoria is due to take the stage in her first official public engagement since the Beckham story broke.

Her former Spice Girl pal Emma Bunton is also on the guest list, along with 19 artists Will Young, Gareth Gates, Rachel Stevens and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson.
