Celebrity SAS star Rebecca Loos' affair with David Beckham explained

Back in 2004, Rebecca Loos was the most sought after person in the UK after she revealed that she'd had an alleged affair with none other than David Beckham. At the time, both David and Victoria Beckham denied her allegations but the former personal assistant stood her ground and exposed their alleged four-month affair to the press, for the entire world to read.

Now, the 48 year old mum of two is set to appear on Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins and yet again her alleged affair with the former England footballer has become a subject of discussion once again.

Rebecca will join Louie Spence, X Factor star Lucy Spraggan and Adebayo “The Beast” Akinfenwa for the military inspired reality TV show.

It comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK 'really hard' before split from Patrick Kielty.

At the time, Rebecca told Sky that David was an "amazing lover" and "they couldn't keep their hands off each other."

She explained: "We were just locked into each other all night, conversation-wise, other people noticed… we just connected. I think the chemistry between David and me was so strong… people were aware and they weren’t very happy."

She added: "He knows how to please. He’s not afraid of a woman’s body. He seems to know what he’s doing"

Rebecca faced backlash for selling her story but in 2021 the reality TV star reflected on why she made that decision that caused a huge media storm.

She explained to Closer: "I just felt the need to be truthful. Whether you’ve done something that’s right or wrong, it was kind of just eating me up. I was living a lie and keeping secrets."

She continued: "Max Clifford [former celebrity agent] said to me he’d negotiate an exclusive with the newspaper and that if I was willing to tell absolutely all the juicy details, then I would get up to five or six hundred thousand pounds. Ridiculous money."

According to reports she told the Daily Mail: "People said I was mad. Who was this guy? I hardly knew him, what on earth was I doing? But look at everything I have now, I am so happy. I have no regrets, I am so happy with my life now."

She reportedly said: "But many people are so afraid of change. Change is good, change is how you learn, people should just f**king go for it. I like the way my life has taken me. If I hadn’t been famous, I would not have been invited on the TV show where I met my husband, Sven and had my lovely boys. I would not have had the life I have now."

Rebecca met her husband Sven Christjar Skaiaa, who is a medic, during filming 71 Degrees North.

The couple married in 2012 and share two children together. The family now live in Norway and she works as a youga teacher while not on TV.

In a statement released at the time, David said: "During the past few months, I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life. The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts."

Victoria had remained silent in 2004 but three years later she admitted: "I’m not going to lie. It was a really tough time. No one said marriage was going to be easy. Yes, there have been bumps along the road. But the fact is we’ve come out of everything we’ve been through stronger and happier."
