Rebecca Loos (born on June 19, 1977 in
Madrid, Spain) is a Spanish glamour model who was
personal assistant to English football (soccer) player
David Beckham. She is primarily known to the public
because she allegedly conducted an affair with the
married Beckham.
Personal life: Loos was born in Madrid, Spain,
the daughter of a Dutch diplomat and an Anglo-Spanish
mother. Growing up, she was privately educated. After
moving back to Madrid in 2002, Loos worked for an
American investment bank.
When former England football captain David Beckham moved
to Real Madrid, Loos became his personal assistant
during the transition period, alongside SFX agent and
former Australian international Andy Bernal, who spoke
Spanish fluently.
Beckham and Loos worked closely together both
professionally and socially and Loos claimed that she
became an "alternative wife". Victoria Beckham
was not initially happy in Madrid, and wanted to develop
her UK music career, so she spent much of her time in
England. Loos claimed this resulted in Beckham becoming
bored, leading them to spend almost all their time
together socially, and a four month affair was the
alleged result.
Loos sold her story to British tabloid newspaper News of
the World in April 2004, claiming that they had had a
whirlwind affair that included text messages of a sexual
nature. The story generated a huge amount of publicity
in the tabloid press, launching Loos's career in the
public eye.
Shortly after the newspaper coverage of her relationship
with David Beckham, Loos came out publicly as bisexual,
saying "I am indeed bisexual and have been ever
since I was a teenager".
In 1999 while in London, she had a
series of lesbian lovers, including media personality
and glamour model Abi Titmuss and estate agent and TV
presenter Emma Basden with whom she would enjoy a long
term relationship. Loos boasts about her sexual prowess,
especially her ability to "turn" heterosexual
females into lesbians.
In the period before Celebrity Love Island, Loos had her
breasts enlarged from 34C to 34D.
In 2005, to protest against America's laws on gay
marriage, Loos "married" American fashion
model Jenny Shimizu for the TV program Power Lesbian UK.
It was broadcast in the USA as Power Lesbians on LOGO
which profiled successful lesbians in Los Angeles. The
two shared a relationship for a period afterwards.
As of 2007 she is currently dating 'Celebrity Treasure
Island' host and former New Zealand rugby league player
Matthew Ridge.
Career: In 2004, Loos briefly presented
Shownieuws on Dutch television together with former
Eurovision Song Contest singer Gerard Joling who
represented the Netherlands in 1988. Her appearance was
short-lived, partly due to the strength of her English
accent when speaking Dutch.
Loos failed to attract the ratings
producers had hoped for and was dropped from the show.
She has since posed nude for a pictorial in the Dutch
edition of Playboy, with further appearances in lad mags
Nuts, Zoo and FHM and other magazines.
In October 2004, she appeared on the reality television
programme The Farm, a Channel 5 version of the RTE show
Celebrity Farm. At one point Loos was famously given the
task of masturbating a pig to collect its semen. The
broadcast of this provoked controversy and attracted
complaints. The RSPCA weighed in on the controversy,
criticising the show's producers for "morbid and
sordid fascination with farm animals".
The incident generated tabloid headlines once again for
Loos. It was also viewed by some commentators as an apt
example of the depths to which Z-list celebrities would
plumb for public exposure, and the lengths to which the
producers of reality television would go to in order to
satisfy the interests of viewers.
In 2005, Loos appeared on the ITV reality show Celebrity
Love Island, where she sparked up a relationship with
the model Calum Best. Their relationship managed to
cause a stir in the British tabloids when the pair
discarded their microphones and disappeared in the
resort's toilets together for fifteen minutes. In 2006
she played for the England Women's football team in a
Sky TV charity event.
During an interview with British newspaper News of the
World in December 2006 Loos revealed she is currently
filming a reality TV show in which she teaches
"lotto lout" Michael Carroll the art of
seduction and good manners, named 'Teaching Mike'. Loos
is currently one of the contestants of the new season of
the Spanish version of Survivor. |
