David Beckham has accepted “substantial” libel damages from a newspaper which claimed he “made a play” for model Mariann Fogarasy.

The 34-year-old footballer was not at London’s High Court for the settlement against Express Group Newspapers over the article, published in April.

The Daily Star claimed Mr. Beckham had been emailing Ms Fogarasy with “private party” invitations since they met.

The paper has retracted the claims and accepted he did not behave that way.

Completely untrue

Kate Wilson, who was representing the newspaper, apologised to the Beckham family for the distress, embarrassment and injury caused.

Mr. Beckham’s solicitor, Gerrard Tyrrell, told Mr. Justice Eady that the serious and defamatory allegations were completely untrue.

The article had been splashed across the front page of the paper and was also published on its website.

It had claimed the emails began after the pair met at a recent AC Milan match.

It has not been disclosed how much Mr. Beckham, who has been married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham for nearly 10 years, will receive from the paper.

Victoria Beckham is recovering from a recent breast reduction surgery that took her from a 34DD to a modest 34B.

She is now recovering in France with soccer star hubby DAVID, 34, and their sons BROOKLYN, ten, ROMEO, six, and four-year-old CRUZ.

A source said: “Victoria has wanted her implants taken out for a while. She felt that was part of her old WAG image - the big hair, big boobs, fake tan - and that she has moved on since those days.”

“She had the op three weeks ago and is very pleased with the results. After the op she came to London for business then went to France to heal properly in private.”

Ex-Spice Girl Victoria had her first boob job in 1999, when a London clinic increased her bust from its natural size of 34A to 34D.

Further surgery two years later took her to a 34DD. Posh hid her chest with a hand as she arrived in the French Riviera to recuperate following her latest operation.

The mum, who has also swapped her fake orange tan for a more natural pale look, plans a two-week holiday before returning to LA. Last night her spokesman declined to comment.
