Beckham faces the music - part 2
According to a friend quoted in the Daily Mail, Victoria wept on the phone as she travelled to Heathrow yesterday. "She is absolutely devastated and doesn't know what to think," she said. "David has completely denied the whole thing and she wants to believe him. On one hand she is saying that the tone of the text messages are just not David. They never send sexy texts to each other, so she can't imagine him doing it with someone he barely knows. "But Victoria is very astute. She knows how newspapers work and the fact that they were certain enough to run the story worries her. David said that if he sent the girl any text messages, they were just jokey ones. He is adamant nothing happened."
Although suspended from Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final against Monaco in Monte Carlo, Beckham would be expected to train with his team-mates as normal. But such is Real Madrid's concern about their star player that they have given him time off. Long before the story of the alleged affair it was known that Victoria had spent only a limited time in Spain, leaving him free to spend his time with team-mates such as party-loving Brazilians Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos.
Beckham and Ms Loos - a linguist who worked for SFX, the sports personality management company which looked after Beckham - were first seen together at Madrid's Ananda nightclub. When photographs were first published of them chatting intimately, the Beckhams felt forced to issue a statement denying problems with their marriage.
It was alleged that after she saw the pictures Victoria rang Ms Loos - the daughter of a Dutch diplomat and an English mother - and told her: "It is not your job to go out clubbing with my husband so back off."
According to the News Of The World, Beckham and Ms Loos went back to his suite at the Santa Mauro hotel that night and had "highly charged and explosive sex".
However after rumours started circulating, Ms Loos was moved to other duties. In December she was made redundant when Beckham left SFX and joined his wife's PR company.
It is said Beckham has not seen her since then. But the couple are alleged to have exchanged highly sexual text messages.
Ms Loos's brother said: "Rebecca was upset when she parted company with David and Victoria last year... I thought it was because of professional reasons. But I am beginning to understand there must have been more to it."
