SOCCER superstar David Beckham has described as "ludicrous" reports he had an affair with his former personal assistant in Madrid.

British tabloid the News of the World yesterday alleged Beckham had a passionate affair with Rebecca Loos, the Madrid-born daughter of a Dutch diplomat, because he was "lonely" after spending long periods away from his ex-Spice Girl wife, Victoria Adams.
The newspaper also printed "graphic text messages" it claimed were sent between the soccer icon and his former employee.
Beckham, 28, allegedly turned to 26-year-old Loos, an "attractive and cultured" brunette "for comfort after feeling abandoned by wife Posh", reported the News of the World in a five-page spread.
The newspaper claimed the love affair began on September 18 last year after the England captain spent a night out drinking with Loos and four of her colleagues from the SFX group - the sports management company that employs her.
The former Manchester United midfielder is alleged to have invited Loos up to his luxury hotel suite for a nightcap which according to the News of the World ended in a steamy night of passion.
The newspaper quotes a close friend of Loos as saying: "He (Beckham) swept her off to his suite at the Santa Mauro hotel - to the astonishment of his drivers and bodyguards - for a night of the kind of passion he has been missing with Posh".
Beckham, who was allegedly "smitten" with Loos, is reported to have embarked on a "string of trysts" with the attractive PA following their first night together at Santa Mauro.

However the dangerous liaisons are alleged to have fizzled out in December after "Beckham ended his dealings with the SFX Group and never saw Rebecca again".
In a statement issued overnight by his agent, Caroline McAteer, Beckham called the allegations "ludicrous" and said he was "very happily married".
"During the past few months I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life", Beckham said.
"What appeared this morning is just one further example.
"The simple truth is that I am very happily married, have a wonderful wife and two very special kids", he said.
"There is nothing that any third party can do to change these facts".
Loos, when approached by the News of The World, is reported to have said: "I am afraid I have no comment for you. Please leave me alone."
However The Sun today alleged Loos confessed to her brother John she had been Beckham's lover during a telephone conversation.
"I have spoken to her ... and she has confirmed that she had an affair with David. She hasnÂ’t gone into details about the relationship", the newspaper reported John as saying. Beckham moved to Spain last year after joining Real Madrid but his pop star wife and two young sons, Brooklyn and Romeo, have not yet relocated to the Spanish capital, spending most of their time at the celebrity couple's mansion in Hertfordshire, England.
Posh,29, is thought to believe she has a better chance of reviving her flagging musical career in the UK than Spain. Although she and her husband often travel to be together, their long periods of separation have fuelled speculation their marriage could be on the rocks.
As the News of The World scandal broke Posh jetted off for an Easter holiday in Switzerland with her parents, brother and sons reportedly clashing with paparazzi at LondonÂ’s Heathrow airport.
Beckham, who has a couple of days off, is expected to fly out to join them.
It is not yet known whether the couple will take legal action against the News of the World.NEWS.com.au with AFP
