Rebecca Loos tells Daybreak she doesn't regret revealing her 'affair' with David Beckham

Rebecca Loos tells Daybreak she doesn't regret revealing her 'affair' with David Beckham

If you don't remember who Rebecca Loos is, cast your mind back to 2004 when David Beckham was playing for Real Madrid, and he was given a sexy personal assistant. That was Rebecca Loos! She claimed that she'd had a fling with the footballer, and even called herself his "second wife" (lovely).

She later went on to appear in loads of classy TV shows including Celebrity Love Island and The Farm where she er, milked a pig. Kind of.

This is what David Beckham looked like back in the Rebecca Loos era. Not his best look

Well, she was back on our telly this morning talking about her claims, so we hope Victoria Beckham wasn't watching TV with a cup of tea and some toast. We're not even sure why Rebecca was on Daybreak this morning, maybe to celebrate the er, nine year anniversary of her kiss and tell?

Rebecca, who lives in Norway now, said: "Obviously I'm a mother now and I'm married myself and being in the media for six or seven years, so knowing what I know now, I would have definitely gone about things quite differently."

She continued: “I think I was quite young and foolish and very reckless, and obviously I didn’t think things through, I just acted on impulse. And I like to think I'm a lot less like that now, hopefully.”

Good news though - she doesn't feel bad about claiming she'd had an affair with a married man, just how she made those claims. Asked if she regretted the impact the story made, she said: “Probably, yes, I think I do. I think I regret the impact on everybody. But I think I just maybe could have gone about it in a kinder way. I don’t regret speaking out but I regret the way I went about it, so put it that way, yes.”

Is there a kind way of claiming you're sleeping with someone's husband? We're not sure there is. "I like to think I am the sort of person who tries to make the best of things and try to look at the positive side of things. I did try to enjoy it as much as I could. It all happened very, very fast, it was very much a whirlwind. I think that’s a good word â€" it was a whirlwind â€" and I think in the end, I paid a price by feeling quite lonely and depressed," she said, adding that she'd never forgive her husband if he had an affair.

There's never a bad time to look at this David Beckham HM ad

 

In 2004, David issued at statement saying: "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."

And Victoria kind-of talked about it in an interview with V magazine on 2007, saying: "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."

In your attempted-home-wrecking face, Rebecca Loos! Now off you go, back to Norway for another nine years.

And let's cleanse our pallettes with a bit of sexy Miranda Kerr shall we?
