Katherine Jenkins and David Beckham slam affair rumours

Katherine Jenkins and David Beckham have both sensationally moved to slam rumours that they had an affair together.

Rumours emerged earlier this month but today the classical singer blasted the 'horrible' lies as being 'untrue'.

The 32-year-old has also threatened legal action over the claims that she had a fling with the former England footballer.

Taking to her Twitter page today to address the gossip, she wrote: '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.'

Jenkins, who split from her boyfriend of four years Gethin Jones in December last year, went on to explain she has only ever met the dad-of-four on two occasions and has never once been alone with him.

'I’ve only met David twice: once at the Military Awards in 2010 & on a night out in the West End in Feb 2012,' she continued. '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,' she added.

David Beckham's camp have also released a statement denying he had an affair with Jenkins.

The statement read: '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.'

Jenkins got engaged to Jones in February last year but they split in December and both took to their Twitter pages to break the news.

Katherine wrote: 'Sorry for being quiet of late, its just that I have some very sad news. Geth & I have decided to go our separate ways.

'We are both beyond broken hearted. All your hugs & support will be much appreciated xxx.'

While Gethin also expressed his sadness, writing: 'Hi everybody. I'm deeply sad to tell you that Kath and I have ended our relationship as a couple. We are both heart broken… Gx [sic].'

The Welsh pair started dating in 2007 after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing where Jones was a celebrity contestant and Jenkins was a guest performer.

Speculation surrounding their relationship came when Jenkins revealed in October they hadn't started wedding preparations because of a 'busy' 2012.

'We will do it, just not yet. There’s no rush. We will get round it,' she said at the time.
