Lovely Welsh soprano singer Katherine Jenkins has contacted the police to pass on several violent threats she has received, after the Welsh singer took to Twitter to deny claims she had an affair with David Beckham.

Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins has turned to police after receiving death threats via Twitter following rumours suggesting she had an affair with English football superstar David Beckham.

The 32-year-old, who took to the micro blogging site on Friday to deny she had ever been romantically involved with the sportsman, was subject to abuse from fellow users who threatened to kill her.

Crazed ‘fans’ of celebrity couple David and Victoria Beckham reacted with fury when Jenkins first denied any relationship with the former England captain.

However, after first receiving criticism for her actions in going public on the social networking site, the abuse of Ms Jenkins, 32, now appears to have got out of hand.
One user has threatened to ‘cut’ Ms Jenkins if the rumours of the affair are true, while others made derogatory remarks about her.

Another user even threatened: ‘I’ll kill that s*** Katherine Jenkins.’

“Due to the serious nature of the threats, the tweets have been reported to the police,” a spokesperson for the star said. In her Twitter posts, Jenkins attempted to put a stop on speculations suggesting she had an affair with Beckham.

“Dear Twitter friends, I’ve read some horrible rumours on here & want u 2 (you to) know I absolutely deny I’ve had an affair with David Beckham. The rumours are very hurtful, untrue & my lawyers tell me actionable.

“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’ve never been on my own with him and never arranged to meet up,” she had said.

She went on to insist she has never even been alone with David.

‘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.’

The rumours appear to come from Australian magazine Famous, which printed a story in its latest issue claiming the Beckhams had split.

It said Victoria had broken down during a recent London lunch with friends after they told her the 37-year-old sportsman had grown close to Katherine.

A spokesperson for the Beckhams said the couple felt hurt by the allegations.

They said: ‘It’s absolutely untrue and the worst in hurtful, damaging media gossip and rumour.

‘Legal letters have been sent to the magazine in question.’

Chimed another, reports The Sun newspaper: “Katherine, completely unprompted, has denied she slept with David Beckham. Rumours from Twitter only. Very odd.”
