TV CHAOS: Rebecca Loos ISSUES BLUNT STATEMENT criticising Richard Madeley on Good Morning Britain as they ARGUE about David Beckham
Rebecca Loos bluntly shot down Richard Madeley during an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Monday as they clashed over David Beckham.
The former glamour model, 48, appeared on the ITV breakfast show’s sofa to talk about her appearance on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Speaking to Richard, 69, and Kate Garraway, Rebecca expressed her disappointment at David, 50, being brought up so much on the Channel 4 show.
She said: ‘It was a little bit disappointing that there was so much focus on [David Beckham] in the interrogation room, because I really did think that going in there was an opportunity for them to get to know me.’
Rebecca added: ‘That was a very small part of my life. It is what it is.’
However, the interview turned tense as Richard insisted on pressing her on the subject.

Richard asked Rebecca if she ‘blamed’ David, 50, for their reported affair but the model quickly backed away from answering the question
The daytime legend probed: ‘Do you blame him? He was a married man with children, do you blame him? This is the last question about David Beckham.’
As Rebecca desperately attempted to move on, she quipped: ‘I think we should just focus on SAS.’
Richard replied: ‘But that’s the last question. Do you blame him?’
Standing firm, Rebecca doubled down on her reply, saying: ‘I want to talk about SAS, sorry Richard… We don’t need to talk about this this morning, we’re here for SAS.’
Viewers clashed on social media about the moment, with one swiping: ‘Richard being his usual unlikeable self. Why be so nasty to Rebecca Loos?’
Another chimed in: ‘Rebecca loos should have asked Richard about his shoplifting when he kept pressing her on Beckham.’
However a third backed Richard, writing: ‘Well Rebecca, it is the only reason you were able to claim “celebrity” status and why you are on telly.’
Later in the interview, Rebecca revealed what motivated her to sign up gruelling reality show.
‘I liked the fact that you are pushed to your limits, and I thought it would be interesting to get to know myself a little bit better,’ she said.
‘When I did the show, I was 46 going on 47, now I’m 48. Going through a lot of changes, as women do at my age, so they really did hold the mirror up.’
Rebecca’s appearance on GMB comes after she was reduced to tears after she was punched in the face by a co-star on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins on Sunday night.
After four departures in the first week, the latest episode aired on Sunday as the remaining celebrities were tasked with engaging in a one-on-one fight.
Rebecca was paired with former X Factor star Lucy Spraggan who had control and dominated the fight from the beginning.
Before the challenge got underway, Special Forces and former Royal Marine Commando Jason Fox told the group: ‘Violence in its rawest form is hand-to-hand, you are eye-to-eye with your opponent and it is about overpowering them.
