Singer Katherine 'absolutely denied' reports of a relationship with Beckham
- Said they had only ever met twice, and never just the two of them alone
- Many said they hadn't even heard of the rumours until Katherine's tweets
- Beckham's representative has dismissed the speculation as 'nonsense'
The 32-year-old singer told her fans that she found the reports 'hurtful and untrue', and wanted to be the first to set the record straight.
It is unclear why Katherine chose today to refer to the revelations, but in doing so she drew many people's attention to the rumours they had previously not been aware of.
'I've only met him twice!' Katherine Jenkins took to her Twitter page to deny rumours of an affair with David Beckham. They were seen out together, along with a group of friends, in London in February
'Horrible reports': Katherine posted a series of tweets to her 224,517 followers
In a series of posts made on her page today, Katherine said she had only ever met David twice.Katherine began: 'Dear Twitter friends, I've read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2 know I absolutely deny I’ve had an affair with David Beckham.
'The rumours are very hurtful, untrue & my lawyers tell me actionable.'
She continued: 'I’ve only met David twice: once at the Military Awards in 2010 & on a night out in the West End in Feb 2012
'We were out in a group of friends & it was just a normal fun evening out. Just so we are clear I have never been on my own with him and never arranged to meet up.'
Meanwhile, a representative for Beckham has told the MailOnline: 'Unfortunately, we have to deal with this type of nonsense on Twitter.
'One minute David is dead... then a more scurrilous rumour, there is not one jot of truth to any of it.'
Night out: Katherine and David also both attended the Military Awards in 2010, which the footballer attended with son Brooklyn
As well as the awards event in 2010, Katherine and David were both seen partying at the Arts Club in Mayfair alongside Prince Harry in early February.
The untrue rumours surrounding Katherine and David first emerged when she moved to Los Angeles to appear on Dancing With The Stars earlier this year.
There were even extraordinary claims that a superinjuction had been applied for to prevent the story ever being made public.
Shortly after Katherine's tweets, Lily Cooper took to her Twitter page to poke fun at the revelations, denying an 'affair' with Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z.
Lily wrote: 'I'm really upset at the hurtful rumours going round about me having an affair with Jay Z. My lawyers tell me they are actionable.
'I've met him twice, once at the spotted pig in New York and once at the wireless festival. We have never been alone together etc etc.'
And now, as well as hitting headlines in the UK, Katherine's denial has made news throughout the world.
Katherine has been single since splitting from fiancé Gethin Jones in December 2011.
The singer started dating former Blue Peter presenter Jones in 2007 after meeting him on the set of Strictly Come Dancing.
They became engaged on holiday in Mexico in February 2011, but announced their split on December 30 on Twitter.
Katherine later said her singing was helping her cope with her heartbreak, saying: 'With every performance I have been able to put myself slowly together.
'Unfortunately all my songs are about love or heartbreak but I can just about cope with that now.’
Earlier this week, David was seen enjoying a family day out with wife Victoria and three of their children, Romeo, Cruz and baby Harper, at a shopping mall in Los Angeles.
David and Victoria have been married for 13 years and are worth an estimated £125million as a power couple.
Victoria gave birth to the couple's fourth child and only daughter Harper Seven last July.
