Rebecca Loos 'regrets' how she sold David Beckham 'affair' story

Rebecca Loos has admitted that she has regrets over how she sold her story to the media about an alleged affair with David Beckham.

The 35-year-old claimed in 2004 that she had a four-month fling with the former England captain while she was his personal assistant during his stint at Real Madrid.

The allegations put Beckham's marriage to ex-Spice Girl Victoria, who decided to stay with the midfielder, in the spotlight, despite Beckham denying the story.

"I'm a mother now and married and knowing what I know now I would definitely have gone about things quite differently," Loos told ITV morning show Daybreak.

"I was young and foolish and very reckless. I didn't think things through and acted on impulse a lot. I think I regret the impact on everybody.

"I think I could have gone about it in a kinder way. I don't regret speaking out but I regret the way I went about it."

Loos is now married with two young sons.
