Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star Rebecca Loos has criticised the Channel 4 show, saying that the directing staff asked "too many questions" about her affair with David Beckham. The Dutch media personality is best known for claiming that she had an affair with the footballer while she was his personal assistant back in 2004.
The 48-year-old appeared on ITV's Lorraine today to speak about her time on the show. However, she admitted that she felt there was too much focus on her affair with David Beckham when it came to being interrogated by the Directing Staff.
Speaking to Lorraine's Ranvir Singh, she said: "I would have preferred to have spoken much more about the bravery in going public, in dealing with the British media, in going up against powerful PR machines and people with money and power.

"That for me was the most challenging time in my life by far so I did feel like there were too many questions about David Beckham."
Ranvir then asked why she signed up for the show given that would be touched on as a topic. "Can I ask you then in a way if that is so bothersome after all these years, why would you put yourself in the show?" she asked.
"What made you want to do it? You must have known in the back of your mind that is the thing you would be asked about."
Rebecca replied: "Just to be clear, I don't mind being asked about it. It is part of my journey.
"It's just that there was slightly too much focus on that. I felt I had so much more to share, dark times that I've been through."
Despite that, Rebecca added that she is "so happy" that she did the show. "It's one of the best things I've ever done, one of the hardest things I've ever done.
"I have so much respect for the DS, so much respect for the contestants that are still pushing through. I'm just in awe of their strength. It's been incredible."
Last night's episode saw two stars quit the brutal show with both Rebecca and rapper Lady Leshurr handing in their badges. Lady Leshurr injured her neck in a previous challenge and told the staff that she couldn't continue because of her neck.
Later in the episode, Rebecca became overcome by her feat of heights during a challenge. She then broke down in tears and quit the show altogether, saying: "I'm out. I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry."
