Who is Rebecca Loos? Inside David Beckham affair rumours with Celeb SAS star
Tonight, Rudy Reyes will whip a new group of celebrities into shape as Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins returns to our screens. Lucy Spraggan, Louie Spence, Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa, and many more are all set to take on the challenge. Yet there's one contestant who's sure to draw the audience's eye more than the others. We're talking about Rebecca Loos. The 48-year-old is, of course, well known for being a former glamour model and a reality TV star. Yet she first came to attention back in 2004 when she alleged that she'd had a four-month affair with David Beckham while she was working as his personal assistant. David and Victoria denied the allegationscalling them ludicrous, but that didn't stop the story from propelling Rebecca to international fame. So with that in mind, here's everything you might need to know about the model turned yoga teacher. Former TV star Rebecca Loos rose to fame after claims she had an affair with David. The now mum-of-two is a former glamour model who was born in Spain but gained Dutch citizenship through her father, a Dutch diplomat. Rebecca has previously appeared on the likes of The Farm, Extreme Celebrity Detox, Temptation Island and The X Factor: Battle of the Stars, as well as appearing on the cover of Playboy. She now lives a very different life, having met her husband, Sven Christjar Skaiaa, while filming 71 Degrees North, as he was a medic on the show. The pair married in 2012 and went on to have two sons, and now live in Norway, where she works as a yoga teacher. In 2004, Rebecca claimed she had an affair with David after working as his personal assistant. She told Sky that he was an 'amazing lover' and that they 'couldn't keep their hands off each other'. She said, according to reports: 'We were just locked into each other all night, conversation-wise, other people noticed… we just connected. 'I think the chemistry between David and me was so strong… people were aware and they weren't very happy.' 'He knows how to please. He's not afraid of a woman's body. He seems to know what he's doing,' Rebecca added to Kay Burley. In 2021, Rebecca recalled telling her story to Closer magazine, saying: 'I just felt the need to be truthful. 'Whether you've done something that's right or wrong, it was kind of just eating me up. I was living a lie and keeping secrets. 'Max Clifford [former celebrity agent] said to me he'd negotiate an exclusive with the newspaper and that if I was willing to tell absolutely all the juicy details, then I would get up to five or six hundred thousand pounds. Ridiculous money.' 'People said I was mad. Who was this guy? I hardly knew him, what on earth was I doing? But look at everything I have now, I am so happy. I have no regrets, I am so happy with my life now,' she later told The Daily Mail. 'But many people are so afraid of change. Change is good, change is how you learn, people should just f**king go for it.' She continued: 'I like the way my life has taken me. If I hadn't been famous, I would not have been invited on the TV show where I met my husband, Sven and had my lovely boys. I would not have had the life I have now.' Talking about the affair scandal, Rebecca added: 'I took a lot of wrong decisions, and got talked into a lot of things. Of course, if I could go back in time, I might change some things, but wouldn't everyone? I have no regrets.' David has always denied the scandalous rumours, calling them 'ludicrous'. In a statement when the allegations first arose, the then 28-year-old said: 'During the past few months, I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life. 'The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts.' Victoria didn't address the claims at the time, but in a 2007 interview, she said: 'I'm not going to lie. It was a really tough time. 'No one said marriage was going to be easy. Yes, there have been bumps along the road. 'But the fact is we've come out of everything we've been through stronger and happier.' In later years, David was accused of having affairs with model Sarah Marbeck and beautician Danielle Heath, all of which were denied by statements released on behalf of the Beckhams. After hitting the headlines, it emerged that Rebecca was actually related to broadcaster Piers Morgan – they're second cousins. More Trending 'I've met him a few times over the years, mostly at showbiz parties, where he'd be like, 'Hi, cuz,' but I've not seen him for years,' she told OK! When writing about his most shocking personal revelation, former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers told The Independent: 'Two days into the David Beckham/Rebecca Loos scandal, I discovered she was my second cousin. And I had even apparently danced with her at a family wedding in Madrid.' Hilariously, despite their relation, she refused to sell him the story.

I turned to ChatGPT to explain why my date went so wrong
'Let their action determine your next move – not your hope'. Staring down at my phone screen, I was so relieved to read these words. Trying to find the reason for yet another disastrous date, I had turned to the best source of clear, unbiased advice I could think of: ChatGPT. Sure, it wasn't exactly romantic but suddenly the patterns of my dating life were all starting to make sense, and I wasn't stuck in an agonising mental loop trying to figure it out. Two weeks previously, I had woken up in a hotel room, in a foreign city, rigid, shaking and tearful – my nervous system shot to pieces from a day spent masking and being on edge. My date had just left. I'd asked him if he thought we'd see each other again. 'It's not a hard yes but it's not a hard no,' he said. I understood he meant 'no'. I'd recently read a book about attachment styles and avoidant men and yet here I was again, rejected. Our first date had been amazing… How had it gone so wrong? Flashback to a couple of months earlier. I was back on the apps after a two-year break, and was just as bored as I'd been when I used them before. Too many men just wanted to text and never meet. X Factor icon Diana Vickers and Metro's dating expert Alice Giddings dive into your wildest sex, love, and dating dilemmas – every Tuesday. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube. And be sure to follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode. You can also join the fun on our WhatsApp Group Chat here – share your dilemmas and Diana and Alice may just give you a call. When a Dutch guy popped up, in town for a few days, I swiped past his profile because of its lack of detail. But, when he bypassed the small talk and suggested a spontaneous meet-up I thought, why not? I'd been planning on doing a nature hike the next day – he would either be good company or, at worst, good exercise for a couple of hours. I never count first meets as dates and I knew the hiking route was popular and safe. We arrived almost at the same time and he was easy to pick out from his photo. I wasn't immediately attracted – but he turned out to be excellent company. We talked about relationships, psychology and gender roles, careers, crypto, my kids and that fact he wanted children and a dog. When the hike was over, he suddenly kissed me. 'I just felt like kissing you, so I did,' he said. It was flattering, though I was mainly buzzing from the mental stimulation that comes from great conversation. So, How Did It Go? is a weekly series that will make you cringe with second-hand embarrassment or ooze with jealousy as people share their worst and best date stories. Want to spill the beans about your own awkward encounter or love story? Contact I suggested we meet again that evening and he agreed. Now I was counting it as a date. It was fun to do my hair and feel exhilarated about someone for the first time in ages. We flirted and kissed all night and had genuine, deep conversations. Three times he said, 'Well, if you come to Holland…' I got home at 5am on a high, faith in dating apps restored. We messaged a couple of times throughout his last day and I asked if he'd meant it that I should visit. His answer was a bit of a cold shower: 'The offer still stands but you'll have to get an Airbnb'. I talked myself round; I wouldn't be comfortable in someone's house after just one date, anyway. So I booked a flight and hotel for two months' time. We texted occasionally in the meantime, which was fine by me. He checked in about my flight and asked if there was anything I wanted to do. There were some cheesy, sexual messages which were not so fine by me but by then my flight was tied to a work trip and cancelling would have been expensive and complicated. He picked me up from the airport and he was friendly but not affectionate. I followed his lead but from the outset, I was confused about what the vibe was meant to be. Our second date was a long, boring day spent talking, hanging out and going to the cinema to see the new Bridget Jones. He was still an interesting conversationalist but it was completely platonic – he didn't flirt or touch me – and I was increasingly on edge, trying to work out what was going on while acting like things were fine. When we left the cinema, he suddenly asked, 'Would you like me to come to your hotel?' I said yes, thinking this would be how we got back to what it was like before. But when we got there, he whipped out a packet of condoms – and a sex toy. 'That's way too zero to 60 for me,' I told him. But I was looking for the missing connection and so had sex. He came, I didn't, he didn't seem to notice and, shocker, I didn't feel connected. Back home, I didn't expect to hear from him again but, a week later, he messaged to say he thought we should leave it there as 'an unexpected adventure'. I wasn't interested in him any longer but I was keen to understand what the hell happened, and I needed to know how to break my pattern of always being drawn to avoidant men. Most of all, I couldn't get one question out of my head: why would he invite me to visit (three times!) and then act completely uninterested and cold? That's when I thought of ChatGPT. I created a relationship therapist and trained it on attachment styles based on the book I'd read. I fed in a detailed account of both dates and the exported file of our short but, it turns out, revealing WhatsApp chats. ChatGPT immediately analysed all the signs he was avoidant and not genuinely interested. There were far more of them than I'd seen myself. His spontaneous kiss after the hike, asking if I wanted him to come back to my hotel – both could be interpreted as low-risk, high-reward plays if he wasn't invested in the outcome. The big mystery was solved when ChatGPT showed me how I had mistakenly heard a genuine invitation when what he had actually said was 'vague, polite, and non-committal, designed to keep the moment feeling warm without emotional responsibility […] which he never backed up with: Initiative. A plan. Clear interest in seeing you again.' It was clear how his non-invitation had dictated everything about the second date. If I'd known, I never would have gone. More Trending Since then, I've honestly enjoyed talking about dating with ChatGPT far more than the actual dates. I've used my AI therapist to unpick two previous disastrous experiences with avoidant men, mentally broken up with an unrequited two-year crush and reformulated my Hinge profile to add emotional depth specifically to repel avoidants. My profile no longer centres the idea that I'm fun, easy-going and available to hang out as that is catnip to them. I hardly get any matches now, which is great, actually.

Claudia Winkleman to host star-studded live Traitors experience for Comic Relief
The experience will give fans of the BBC One programme the chance to take their own seat at the roundtable for an evening of missions and murder, alongside a cast of former Traitors players and famous faces. Among those taking part are comedians Sara Pascoe, Nish Kumar, Ivo Graham and Rosie Jones, radio hosts Scott Mills and Chris Stark, and presenting couple Marvin and Rochelle Humes. Former Traitors, including season three alumni Leanne Quigley, Linda Rands, Jake Brown, Anna Duke and Freddie Fraser, will also take part in the game in London this autumn. Winkleman, 53, said: 'I'm so excited about this – a special evening filled with chaos, scheming and dramatic exits. 'The Traitors: Live Experience is going to be completely brilliant, and probably quite tense. 'The best thing about entering this prize draw is that you can help Comic Relief and raise money for all the incredibly important issues they support. 'So, if you've got the nerve, I'd say prepare your best poker face, trust nobody and I'll see you there.' The TV programme involves the 'faithfuls' attempting to banish the 'traitors', who murder during the night time, in order to win a prize pot of up to £120,000. During the live game, the traitors and faithfuls will discuss who they think is a traitor during the roundtables, which will consist of a mix of former Traitors players, a celebrity pair and the prize winners. The game will be followed by a drinks reception in the venue's Traitors-themed bar, the Cloak And Dagger. Radio 2 presenter Mills, 51, said: 'I absolutely love the show and can't wait to stir up a bit of drama at the roundtable, although I'm not sure how good I'll be at keeping a straight face. 'I'll probably get the giggles at precisely the wrong time. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I hope lots of people enter and help raise money for Comic Relief.' Samir Patel, chief executive of Comic Relief, added: 'We're excited to launch this incredible prize draw, giving fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the drama and deception of The Traitors world first-hand. 'There's a fantastic, and very competitive, line-up of celebrities and former contestants waiting in the wings to take on our winners and I can't wait to see how it all unfolds. 'Money raised by the entries will help support vital work in the UK and around the world to provide essentials like healthcare and safe shelter. Best of luck to everyone who enters.' The Traitors has won various awards, including at the Bafta TV Awards in 2023 when host Winkleman won best entertainment performance. The programme is based on a Dutch format called De Verraders and involves contestants trying to identify and banish their killer counterparts, selected by Winkleman. Comedy duo Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders featured in a Traitors sketch for Comic Relief's Red Nose Day in 2023. The evening will be held at The Traitors: Live Experience in Covent Garden, London, on Monday September 22. The experience will not be televised but there will be video captured for social media use, the PA news agency understands. The event has been created by For One Night Only (FONO) and members of the public can enter a prize draw at to be in with the chance of playing the game. More celebrity participants will be announced in due course.
