By SARAH BULL

'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

Katherine Jenkins yesterday took to her Twitter page to blast rumours that she had an affair with David Beckham.
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.

'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

Night out: Katherine and David also both attended the Military Awards in 2010, which the footballer attended with son Brooklyn

'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.'

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.

And now, as well as hitting headlines in the UK, Katherine's denial has made news throughout the world.
