David Beckham has filed a five-page statement with a Californian court as part of his libel suit over allegations that he slept with a prostitute.

In the legal documents, the footballer claims that the accusations caused him "severe emotional distress, including extended humiliation, embarrassment, anger and worry". Irma Nici alleges that she first met with the star at New York's Le Parker Meridien Hotel, but Beckham had checked into the Waldorf-Astoria with his LA galaxy teammates.

He says: "As is my custom when I arrive at a hotel on a road trip before a match, a massage therapist came to my hotel room within a few hours after I checked to in to give me a massage.

"I recall that the therapist did not leave my hotel room until the very early morning. My security team was with me before, during and after the massage. After the therapist left I went to sleep. I have reviewed the daily logs prepared by my security detail which confirm my recollections."

Speaking of claims he paid Nici $10,000 in cash, he added: "I do not carry around thousands of dollars in cash when I travel. The only way I could get access to $10,000 in cash would be to get it from my management team. I did not request any member of my management team to provide me with thousands of dollars of cash when I was in New York in August 2007."

He also denies claims that he met the prostitute on another occasion in London, saying that he was visiting his father in hospital at the time, who was recovering from a heart attack.

Beckham is seeking $25 million (£16.5m) from Nici and In Touch publisher Bauer for running the story in September last year.

Victoria Beckham has a surprising secret to happy marriage. She believes that absence makes the heart grow fonder, as Victoria Beckham thinks having a long-distance relationship keeps her marriage fresh.

The Spice Girls-star turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham - who is married to top sport totty David Beckham (yum) – said having a trans-Atlantic marriage stops the couple from drifting apart.

She said: "Maybe that's why we're not bored with each other after 11 years."

And Vicoria said she prefered being in the U.S. so she could be close to BFFs Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who live nearby with their four-year-old daughter Suri.

Victoria – who has sons Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz – said: ""Tom and Katie are really kind people – we'll have a more relaxed Sunday afternoon round at their place with all the kids than we would if we went round to some of the parents from school."

David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly enrolled their three children in a private school in the UK.

The couple are said to have arranged for Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5, to attend a three-month course starting tomorrow at an establishment near the family's Hertfordshire home.

A source told The Sun: "All the [school] staff are talking about it - everyone in the school knows. All three boys are coming. Everyone is looking forward to seeing them."

Victoria apparently wants to be in the UK in order to prepare for next month's London Fashion Week.

Meanwhile, David, whose LA Galaxy are currently in their off-season, has been linked with a temporary loan move to Tottenham Hotspur. However, another insider said: "The family's stay in England doesn't mean David has signed for Tottenham.

"It could be he won't even sign for another club during his break from LA Galaxy."
