EXCLUSIVE: Becks
lives it up with beauty...while wife is 800 miles away trying to
revive career
Laughing, touching shoulders, flirting...what will Posh say? By
Jane Atkinson in Madrid And while the lonely England captain was enjoying some female company and the bright lights of Madrid his wife Victoria was 800 miles away in London. Our exclusive pictures show Becks, 28, and the girl—who sources last night claimed could be his Spanish-speaking personal assistant Rebecca Loos— laughing and chatting intimately as they partied shoulder to shoulder in the early hours at the trendy club Ananda. Nine minutes of video footage taken by an ardent Becks fan shows his hero and the girl, in her twenties, inside Ananda and then leaving together. One onlooker said: "David clearly loved being in her company. He was totally chilled out and enjoying himself. And the girl was being really flirtatious. He's never been seen looking this relaxed with any woman other than Victoria'. "He was totally unlike the Becks we became used to seeing in Britain when he was playing for Man Utd under Alex Ferguson—he looked so happy." The pictures follow the News of the World's exclusive revelations last week about the Beckhams' long-distance marriage crisis. Escape The couple issued a statement insisting everything was fine. But since David's £25million move from Manchester United, Posh has been with Becks for only around 35 days out of a possible 89. David's night out with the brunette came 10 days ago on Thursday, September 18. It began at Beckham's hotel—the five-star Santo Mauro in central Madrid, when they set off for an exclusive restaurant nearby, The Thai Garden. Our source told us: "They arrived at the restaurant at about 9.30pm in David's grey Audi car with three bodyguards. "David and the girl then sat at a table together while the minders waited outside. "Becks and his companion looked close as they laughed and smiled, spending hours over dinner. David was wearing a strange big woolly hat like people with dreadlocks do." After their meal Becks was tipped off that photographers were waiting outside so an elaborate escape plan was hatched. The pair vanished out of the back door, down passageways, through the rear of a nearby jeweller's shop—after the owner had been called to open up specially— and back onto the street. They arrived at the Ananda club around 12.30am where security men smuggled them in and ushered them through the crowds to a candlelit VIP area. On the videotape the girl is wearing jeans, a low-cut vest top and a dark shawl. Becks is also in jeans with a T-shirt over a long-sleeved dark top. He is often approached by well-wishers who greet him warmly. He is happy to talk to them, but his attention quickly turns back to his girl pal. At one point she lights up a cigarette. Non-smoker Becks doesn't appear to mind at all. When the girl gets up to talk to some clubbers a blonde friend sits next to the star. Becks warmly greets the new girl by playfully squeezing her thigh. He catches her by surprise and she says: "Oh my God!" in English. At around 3.30am Becks and the brunette leave the club together and the video shows them walking back to their Audi. The group were then driven back to the hotel. The following night the soccer ace was out again—with a girl strikingly similar to his Thursday companion. Another onlooker told us: "David's Audi emerged
from the underground hotel car park around 9.30pm with him at the
wheel. He drove to the Old Town of Madrid, parked and then walked
about 15 minutes with the girl and two men to a restaurant where
they all sat at the same table. "Becks seemed really relaxed about it all, even when people started asking for autographs. "The girl got into the car's back seat. Then David got in the front, turned and said something to her which set them all laughing as they drove away." Meanwhile, Posh, 29, was partying, too—but in London with hip hop record producer Damon Dash, who's been masterminding her new album. Victoria slipped into the Minstry Of Sound club by a side door to join Damon and his crew, including US rapper JAY-Z. She left at 2.30am. A friend of the Beckhams said: "Victoria is away,
so why shouldn't David go out? He had a great time and thoroughly
enjoyed himself."
"Some girl could come along to take Victoria's place. The way he reacted at the club, in particular, showed his loneliness. He was fidgeting and didn't seem at ease at all. "But the body language suggests the girl is keener on Beckham than he is on her. She is seated with her elbows back and her chest puffed forward. She is saying, ‘Hey, look at my rack.' "She's also arching her back while speaking to David, which is what a woman does at the height of sex. "The following evening Becks appears far more relaxed. "That's obvious from the way he stops to play
football with a boy in the street and happily signs autographs for
fans." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Becks' nights on the town and told us: "All the signs from David are
that he is lonely and seeking company.
