David and Victoria Beckham were embroiled yesterday in further allegations that the England captain had been unfaithful to his wife.


Beauty salon owner Dannielle Heath, 22, claimed she had twice been seduced by the soccer star at his home in Madrid and gave intimate details about him.

A statement issued by the couple yesterday categorically denied her story, saying: 'We are sick and tired of people trying to make money out of our family.'

But Victoria, who is expecting their third child, was deeply distressed at this new accusation only months after Rebecca Loos told of her affair with Beckham. A friend said she was in tears throughout yesterday and was concerned about the effect on her baby, which is due in March.

Her mother Jackie Adams was said to have shouted at Beckham on the telephone.

Miss Heath, from Harlow, Essex, is believed to have made up to £40,000 selling her story to the Sunday Mirror. She was abroad yesterday but is believed to have been trying to contact PR expert Max Clifford, who also represents Miss Loos.

Yesterday members of Miss Heath's family were offering to sell revealing photographs of her for more than £10,000.

Miss Heath said she and Victoria became friends when she applied fake tan to the singer in the salon she owns. Later, when Victoria was away in Peru filming a programme for the Sport Relief charity, Miss Heath was summoned to see Beckham alone at the family's 'Beckingham Palace' mansion in Hertfordshire. He asked her to wax an intimate area but later changed his mind.

Over the summer, the Beckhams and their sons Brooklyn, five, and two-year-old Romeo made a permanent move to Spain so the footballer could concentrate on his Real Madrid career.

At the end of August, just after Victoria had announced she was three months pregnant with the couple's third child, Miss Heath said she was left alone with Beckham at the family's Madrid mansion.

She said he invited her upstairs, where they kissed but were interrupted by domestic staff. Later, she claimed, they performed sex acts on each other. 'David was very affectionate,' Miss Heath said. 'He loved to kiss and cuddle me and loved it when I did the same to him. It was like he was starved of affection.'

She said she met Beckham again in Spain at the end of last month, when he arranged for her to give him a spray-on tan, and they once again became intimate - although Miss Heath said that again they did not have full sex.

She said he left her an envelope containing £250, although her usual charge for a tan was only £25. On it he had crayoned: 'Thankyou for the tan and coming over. See you next time. Hope this is OK. David, X.'

She said: 'Thank God I didn't have full sex with him - it would have made me feel really cheap.'

The Beckhams' statement denying her claims added: 'It is even more distressing when we are expecting our third child soon. The allegations are completely and totally untrue and the matters are now in the hands of our lawyers.'

The wording contrasted with a statement issued in April, when the couple described reports of the affair with Miss Loos as ' ludicrous' but did not specifically say they were untrue.

The friend said: 'Victoria just does not know what to believe but she is upset that David has got himself into the position where he can be accused of these things.

'Her mother is also upset about the whole situation and has had a real go at David, shouting at him down the telephone.'

Last night Beckham, who fractured a rib during Saturday's England match against Wales, left the couple's Hertfordshire home with Victoria in a silver Bentley.

Earlier in the day they had visited her parents. The Beckhams are thought to have been aware of Miss Heath's allegations for several weeks, after she approached their management firm, 19.

A source said: 'Dannielle came to 19 and asked for advice. She was told to get a lawyer. About a week later, the lawyer contacted the Beckhams and said Dannielle was distressed and she wanted some money for her beauty business.

That request was ignored and a week later she revealed her story.'

Miss Heath's mother Julie, a supermarket worker, insisted her daughter was telling the truth. 'Dannielle is quite a secretive girl but I had an idea what was going on,' she said. 'I can't see what my daughter saw in him - I don't think he's very good-looking.'
