  • Story Text: David and Victoria Beckham ignore the cameras during
    their skiing holiday in the wake of allegations he had an affair.



    England soccer captain David Beckham and his wife
    Victoria on Wednesday (April 7) refused to speak to the
    media camped outside their villa in a French ski resort
    following allegations he had an affair with an assistant.

    The Beckhams - Britain's number one celebrity couple,
    who command as much public fascination as royalty - are the
    subject of a media frenzy after sexually explicit text
    messages, said to have been sent between Beckham and the
    assistant, were printed in a British newspaper at the
    weekend.

    Rebecca Loos, 26, worked for Beckham, 28, when he moved
    to Spain last September to join Real Madrid.

    The media were kept at bay outside the villa for the
    second day but the player was seen briefly when he came
    outside to kiss his wife goodbye when she set off for the
    ski slopes in a convoy of vehicles.

    Beckham joined Real Madrid, who were knocked out of the
    European Champions League on Tuesday (April 6) by Monaco,
    as much for his marketing potential as for his athletic
    skills. But as the media hype surrounding the state of his
    marriage to Victoria reaches fever pitch, the board at the
    Bernabeu might be wondering whether their 35 million euro
    ($43 million) investment was a wise one.

    On Tuesday (April 6) Victoria insisted that her
    marriage would not be wrecked by allegations he had an
    affair with his Ms Loos.
