David Beckham today launched legal action against a US magazine over allegations about his private life.
The England and LA Galaxy star is suing In Touch after it carried a story on the front cover of an edition due to be released tomorrow.

A statement released by the footballer's management said: "The allegations that have been made are completely untrue and totally ridiculous."
