"The chemistry between David and I was so strong that everyone was aware and people weren't happy, obviously, because I was being very unprofessional and he's a married man," she said.

"He just kept looking at me and then it dawned on me what he'd asked me - and I did want to go back with him."

She went on to claim that she and David left the dinner with two other people and shared the same car back to the hotel. After dropping off the other passengers, Rebecca said she and the football star started "kissing quite passionately all the way back to the hotel".

David Beckham recalled the affair allegations in the documentary

Opening up about their relationship, she said: "There was an obvious attraction. We spent a lot of time together. We just bonded. We think the same way, made the same jokes, had some kind of connection.

"He treated me in a special way. Always made sure I was looked after. I began to feel very special."

Rebecca also said that she would be willing to go to court and claimed to know of an "intimate" detail about David's body.

Rebecca said she hoped Victoria and David would stay together after the alleged affair

As for what she expected to happen after the bombshell interview, she explained that she didn't expect any sympathy from Victoria. "I think it's bad enough for me to do what I have done without me expecting any words of sympathy," she said.

"I really hope that they get through it. I think the problems were in their marriage long before I came into the picture.

"I in no way intended to break up their marriage especially when there are young children involved. I hope they stay together."

Meanwhile, David said: "There were some horrible stories which were difficult to deal with. It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage."
