Rebecca Loos made bold David Beckham 'affair' admission 20 years later

England footballer David Beckham was accused of having several extra-marital affairs behind wife Victoria's back - including with model Loos

The Beckham family once again hit headlines over the weekend, after Rebecca Loos - a woman who previously claimed to have an affair with David - spoke out on the romance once again.

The former model was grilled about the sexual scandal whilst making an appearance on the Channel 4 reality TV series SAS: Who Dares Wins this week, after which she sensationally quit the show.

Before getting into her latest comments, however, let's take a look back at the alleged extra-marital affair that first emerged over two decades ago.

What were Loos' first affair claims?

Back in 2003, Loos first claimed that she had enjoyed an affair with the England football star behind wife Victoria's back.

That year, the now 47-year-old had worked as David's assistant following his transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid. After six months in his employment, however, and Loos had her contract terminated.

In the weeks that followed, she told the News of the World newspaper that she and the ex-captain had been sleeping together on a regular basis over a four-month period.

Despite father-of-four David dismissing all of Loos' claims as 'ludicrous', his team opted not to legally challenge her claims.

And as such, Loos has maintained that the affair did take place for the last 22 years - including during a 60 Minutes Australia interview back in March of this year.

On the show, she claimed once again that she'd have no reason to have made up her steamy romance with the sportsman, adding of herself: "In my opinion, it was a very brave thing to do to go up against them."

Loos went on to boldly admit: "I have stuck to the truth. I've never exaggerated. I never lied about a single thing.

"Why? Because I'm going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media who have all the money in the world for the best PR, the best lawyers," she continued.

"And all I had on my side was the truth."

During the bombshell interview, Loos also went on to shed further light on the nature of her affair with David, claiming she was 'first person' he'd 'see in the morning' and the 'last person' he'd see 'in the evening' at one point.

"I fell hook, line and sinker for every single cliche line he fed me," Loos claimed. "And then two weeks later we were at Ronaldo's birthday party and he's off with this beautiful model. And I was like, 'Uh.'"

Loos also went on to claim that she wasn't the only woman that the football was involved with at the time, adding: "That was a hard night for me.

"I was like, 'Uh, I don't understand'. And realisations started to hit that I'd been massively played."

Why have the claims re-emerged this week?

As we say, Loos' claims about her affair with David have resurfaced this week as a result of her appearance on the gruelling reality TV series, SAS: Who Dares Wins, during which she was grilled by expert interrogators.

It was later revealed that the mother-of-two - who has since married a doctor - had quit the popular show, claiming too much time had been spent by producers focussing on the affair.

She told talk-show host Ranvir Singh during an interview earlier today (18 Aug): "I would have preferred to have spoken much more about the bravery in going public, in dealing with the British media, in going up against powerful PR machines and people with money and power.

"That for me was the most challenging time in my life by far so I did feel like there were too many questions about David Beckham."
