Katherine Jenkins: Why I denied affair with David Beckham But she broke her silence on Twitter when the rumours kept growing. She tweeted: "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. 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. There were claims the stunning Welsh singer took the drastic step of denying the allegations as a publicity stunt. But Jenkins said she felt she had no choice but to issue the denial after receiving death threats over the Beckham rumours. She said: "From my point of view, I was actually getting months of people saying this to me on Twitter and calling my friends and asking if it was true. It went from being now and again to constant abuse. I was getting death threats before I spoke about it. You wouldn't believe how crazy and out of control it was getting. The singer, who was runner-up on the American TV series Dancing With The Stars, is a regular Tweeter on the social networking site. And she even used Twitter to announce her break-up with her boyfriend TV presenter Gethin Jones. But Jenkins said: "You can see something on Twitter that's very untrue written with '#fact' next to it which is so wrong. It then spreads like wildfire so something so wrong is all over the internet. You can ruin someone's life by doing that. Jenkins says that both she and the Beckhams are pleased the situation has been resolved. She said: "My PR people and their PR people spoke and everyone's happy with the way the situation's been handled. I still maintain I had to stand up and correct what people had been saying.
