Katherine Jenkins has taken to Twitter to deny rumours that she had a fling with David Beckham.

The social networking website had been flush with gossip that the footballer had an affair with the classical singer.

However, Jenkins angrily posted on her Twitter account today (August 24) that the "horrible rumours" are false, adding that she could take legal action. The Welsh star said:

"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. I've only met David twice: once at the Military Awards in 2010 & on a night out in the West End in Feb 2012."

Jenkins continued: "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."

It marks the second time in a week that Jenkins has taken to Twitter to denounce love gossip, with the singer previously denying reports that she had a liaison with Lawson singer Andy Brown.
