The Spice Girl has spoken out for the first time since David's former assistant Rebecca Loos hit the headlines in 2004 with sensatioanl claims she had bedded the soccer stud.

Beckham admits the story put immense pressure on her marriage.

She says, "I'm not going to lie. It was a really tough time.

"David and I got through it together. No one said marriage was going to be easy.

"But we've come out stronger and happier. It's even better now than when we were first married."
