Rebecca Loos was quizzed on Good Morning Britain by host Richard Madeley about her alleged former lover David Beckham and what followed was an awkward encounter to say the very least.
Loos was thrust into the public eye in 2004 when she claimed that she and former England captain Beckham had an affair lasting four months.
Beckham has always strongly denied the allegation, which came after Loos became his personal assistant in 2003 following his move from Manchester United to Real Madrid.

After the rise in her profile, Loos went on to feature on several different TV shows, including Celebrity Love Island, The Farm, Extreme Celebrity Detox, Temptation Island and The X Factor, as well as Battle of the Stars.
Loos is now appearing on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins on Channel 4 and was on the GMB sofa this morning to discuss and publicise her stint on the show, during which she was asked about the former footballer.
Speaking to Madeley and co-host Kate Garraway, Loos said: "It was a little bit disappointing that there was so much focus on [David Beckham] in the interrogation room, because I really did think that going in there was an opportunity for them to get to know me.

"That was a very small part of my life. It is what it is."
But Loos was then further quizzed about Beckham by Madeley and it made for an uncomfortable encounter.
Madeley said: "Do you blame him? He was a married man with children, do you blame him? This is the last question about David Beckham."

Loos responded: "I think we should just focus on SAS."
But Madeley once again pressed Loos to answer the question about the former England captain, who scored 17 goals in 115 caps for the Three Lions.
He said: "But that's the last question. Do you blame him?"
But Loos shut down the prospect of speaking about Beckham and said: "I want to talk about SAS, sorry Richard... We don't need to talk about this this morning, we're here for SAS.

"I liked the fact that you are pushed to your limits, and I thought it would be interesting to get to know myself a little bit better.
"When I did the show, I was 46 going on 47, now I'm 48. Going through a lot of changes, as women do at my age, so they really did hold the mirror up."
Beckham came through the youth-team ranks at United as part of the famous Class of 92 and went on to win six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, the Intercontinental Cup and the Champions League at Old Trafford.
He left to join Real Madrid for a reported £25 million in 2003 - when Loos alleges the affair took place - and Beckham won the La Liga title and the Supercopa de Espana at the Santiago Bernabeu.

After leaving Real in 2007, Beckham moved to the LA Galaxy in the MLS, as well as having two loan spells at AC Milan before ending his career in 2013 at Paris Saint-Germain.
