David Beckham and Katherine Jenkins respond to rumours

Opera singer and Dancing With The Stars star Katherine Jenkins has posted a series of messages on social networking site Twitter today regarding David Beckham.

"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.

"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.

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

David's rep has also commented on the matter:

"Unfortunately, we have to deal with this type of nonsense on Twitter. One minute David is dead then a more scurrilous rumour, there is not one jot of truth to any of it."

David and Victoria Beckham have been married for 13 years and have four children together.
