Katherine Jenkins denies having an affair with David Beckham

Katherine Jenkins: I have not been having an affair with David Beckham

Katherine Jenkins has spoken out to deny the rumours that she's been having an affair with David Beckham.

The Welsh opera singer used Twitter to set matters straight and to refute claims she'd been sleeping with David behind Victoria Beckham's back.

She wrote this afternoon: ‘Dear Twitter friends, I've read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2 know I absolutely deny I’ve had an affair with David Beckham.

‘The rumours are very hurtful, untrue & my lawyers tell me actionable.'

She went on to state that she has only ever met David a couple of times.

‘I’ve only met David twice: once at the Military Awards in 2010 & on a night out in the West End in Feb 2012. We were out in a group of friends & it was just a normal fun evening out,' she added.

‘Just so we are clear I have never been on my own with him and never arranged to meet up.’

There had been rumours circulating on Twitter for some time that Katherine Jenkins and David Beckham had been having an affair, with one particularly damaging post reading: 'Starting to hear about a super injunction blocking the news that David Beckham cheated on Victoria with Katherine Jenkins.'
