Rebecca Loos faces a grilling on Celebrity SAS about her affair with David Beckham – and she dubbed him a “coward” for the way he brushed what happened under the carpet on his Netflix documentary.

Loos was Beckham’s personal assistant in 2003 and claims broke the following year about them having a four month fling. Beckham said reports of the affair were “ludicrous” at the time but never mounted a legal challenge to the story or any subsequent interviews. Loos went on to appear on reality shows like The Farm and Celebrity Love Island before stepping out of the limelight and is now a yoga teacher in Norway.

On her TV comeback on Channel 4 this week, Rebecca said: “I just wanted to show people who I am and just be myself, which has always been my thing. And I just went in it with a very open mind and take it as it comes.

I was concerned about how other people would perceive me. Because editing the show is always something you have no control over, I was worried and unsure about how it would be handled. However, I must say the production team on this show have been absolutely amazing from day one, they have been truthful, they have stuck to their word.

“It felt unjust that my life was pretty hell and his(Becks) life kept going and kept blossoming. I’ve been accused of being a liar. I’ve had a lifetime of opinions around me, I’ve definitely developed thick skin. I think the public opinion now has softened, at least from what I’m gathering since the documentary came out with the Beckhams a couple of years ago. I think it is now because thanks to social media, there is a whole different following out there, which it’s a double-edged sword.

“You’ve got the online trolls but I don’t think that many people, at least the younger generation, know me that well. I’ve never really been very interested in what people think of me to be honest. It doesn’t bother me. I don’t think about it. I don’t know what the perception is of me. I don’t really care. I’m just myself, and some like it and some don’t. And that’s just how life is.”

Like all the recruits, Rebecca faced a grilling in the show’s Mirror Room. Jason Fox and Chris Oliver questioned her motives for being on the show before asking how she felt about her affair with Beckham now she’s had the time to reflect on it.

On his Netflix 2023 doc Beckham didn’t name Rebecca and failed to take any accountability. He just said: “I don’t know how we got through it in all honesty,” on a tricky time when he lived in Madrid.

When asked what Beckham thought of the way things turned out on the Channel 4 show, she responded, “I was very cautious at first. It’s not something I want to talk about all the time, so I made an effort to be cautious. But at the same time I also wanted to be honest with them, so they were really good at getting through to me.

“They’re obviously professionals at this. I don’t shy away from what I’ve been through, and I don’t shy away from the decisions that I’ve made. They have shaped me into who I am, and I’ve really learnt a lot from the mistakes that I’ve made in my life and the things that I’ve done. And I really do think that being truthful is the only way to go in life. I’ll stand by that forever.

” It takes a lot of courage to tell the truth and to own up to mistakes that you have made, mistakes and times in your life you’re not proud of. And it’s so simple to just sweep them all over the place. That’s similar to how cowardly people live, in my opinion.

Asked if the SAS experience changes her, she said:” I very much like how they instil in you that even though you want to give up, you don’t. And it’s simpler to leave with the simple option, but you have to persevere and push hard. They a little bit gritted me. They really inspired me. I had some life changes when I left the show, which I believe SAS has been for.

“I quit alcohol. That was the first thing I did. I wasn’t a big drinker, but I was a social drinker and I noticed that it wasn’t good for me and my hormones and what I was going through, and it was having quite a negative effect on me, mentally. So I just decided to cut that out and I started lifting heavy weights. I wanted to get strong. I know it’s really good for my bones, it’s very good for women.

“I was in perimenopause last year. And I’ve also started taking HRT. I’ve just started doing things to make sure that I live a healthy and strong life, that I age feeling strong, that I’m able to put a weight on my back and run up a mountain if I have to. So yeah, it was a bit of a kick in the arse to test myself a little bit again. I think in the years prior to SAS, I went through a lot as a mother as well because I had a youngest son who was struggling a lot.”

After surviving the SAS course, Rebecca has come to terms with her age and learned that now that she is a mother, she is more risk averse: “I used to be a risk-taker when I was younger, an absolute risk-taker. I used to love it. I enjoyed it immensely. There is currently no way. Motherhood has softened me. We change as we age, grow, and mature. I won’t defend all the women, but at least I’ve gotten a little softer and more cautious.

“And that’s probably due to the fact that I hardly have any hormones left in my body. I’m in a different phase. That was a little wake-up call in some ways. But realising and accepting that is very empowering and it’s very positive and it’s not a negative thing at all. I enjoy being completely aware of both what I’m going through and who I am.

Rebecca’s life today is a far cry from the media frenzy that exploded around her during the Beckham scandal in 2004. Now living a quiet, picture-perfect life for the last 14 years in Norway with her husband of 13 years, Norwegian doctor Sven Christjar Skaiaa, who she met whilst filming the reality programme, 71 Graden Noord, she is also mother to two sons, Magnus, 16, and Liam,13.

The family lives in a remote part of Buskerud county, which requires three hours to travel to the nearest airport. Working as a yoga teacher and massage therapist, she revealed previously that she quit the UK for a “very different” life, to raise her “little Vikings”,

She has said of her life in Norway. ‘It’s not like England here, it’s much less judgmental. I used to get people coming up to me in Waitrose, right in my face, taking pictures of me with their mobiles”

Rebecca has also revealed how openly honest she is with her sons about their past, including how much attention has been paid to her alleged relationship with Beckham, which he has always denied.

They are aware, she said in 2023. And so I said – and I feel that it’s very unfair because of the way I’m being treated now and the bullying I’m getting and the trolling. And I want to make a comment. And I’m going to conduct an interview, so let us know how you feel about media exposure.

“And so my youngest son said, oh, good. He resembles me a little more. He says, “Good for you, Mummy.” Yes, I would say something to him. And my eldest son, who he said, said Beckham is a mystery to him. It doesn’t seem to be Messi, Mummy. I mean, had it been Messi… ‘

Starting on August 3rd, Channel 4 will start broadcasting or live streaming of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins every Sunday and Monday at 9pm.

Ben Proud won the men’s 50m butterfly final behind Switzerland’s Noe Ponti in a time of 22.74 seconds to place second in his semi-final.

Ulrika Jonsson, 57, slams ‘vindictive’ trolls and ‘nasty’ comments on her appearance

After appearing on a recent podcast to discuss her sobriety, Ulrika Jonsson has been forced to address ‘vile’ and ‘vile’ comments made by online trolls.

When Ulrika Jonsson was invited on a podcast to discuss her sobriety journey, the comments about her drinking habits from the past went viral. But her appearance soon became a major talking appoint among those who watched the recording of her being interviewed by former Made In Chelsea star, Spencer Matthews.

Many people were concerned and shocked by her appearance because they thought she had significantly aged, while others seized the opportunity to make crude comments about the former presenter.

The mother of four responded in style to silence her trolls, who had watched her on the Untapped Podcast.

She defended her appearance in a letter to The Times. She continued, “I’ve worked hard to stop people from thinking that women are just interested in their looks and appearance.” I have a lot of experience, kindness, and intelligence, and I’m a practical woman.

Ulrika continued, “I should have no consequence because I now have wrinkles, lines, and jowls.” I am aware of my age. However, I should also mention that I have a menopausal mother of four and that my body and face have been quite active.

Ulrika claimed that she had forgotten Spencer’s upcoming filming was taking place because she had made up her mind to wear makeup.

She attributed a lot of time spent in the garden to why she didn’t take a break in seven years.

This comes after the TV personality took to Instagram last week to silence the keyboard warriors who decided to post vile comments about her look.

She posted a selfie at the time, and the caption read, “I feel I need to address something. I don’t receive many nasty comments, or if I do, I don’t respond with a loving response. However, I recently participated in a fantastic podcast called @untapped. podcast to talk about my sobriety with the intelligent @spencermatthews.

I didn’t wear any makeup, she continued. Partly because I’ve forgotten that a modern-day project is also an eye-funny. I’m not a fan, though, because I’ve had to wear heavy makeup on the big screen from 5 am for years.

Ulrika continued: “Most crucially tho, since childhood I’ve suffered from eczema. On my body – the creases of my arms and legs – on my face – eyes and lips. Make-up has always been the enemy because it’s been agony to wear. There were a lot of positive comments about the WORDS I said on the podcast. But a considerable amount about my tanned appearance.”

How OLD DO I LOOK, she continued. I’ll turn 58 in a few weeks. I’ll never look like the 21-year-old who used to greet you first thing in the morning on the weather board. I’m not ashamed to admit that I enjoy the sun and will undoubtedly pay the price for it. However, since I was a young child, I have lived in a variety of astringent products and creams, including UV lamps and salt baths.

She ended her post by saying, “I have unbalanced pigmentation, unquestionably, that age has not helped. Because it’s quicker and less painful than foundation, I occasionally use filters in my photos. I spend a lot of time in my garden all year long, often in the sun. I no longer sunbathe as often. I haven’t used a sunbed in six months, which I do occasionally during the winter. not embarrassed.

She also urged her trolls to pay attention to what is being said in a podcast rather than acting as a “guest” for a woman because they “might learn something.”

She bowed out, saying, “You can’t be a hero if you make people feel bad.”
