David Beckham's string of lucrative sponsorship deals seem safe for the moment despite allegations that he had a fling with a personal assisstant.
Mobile phone giant Vodafone said, 'It is a private matter for David Beckham to deal with.'
Soft drink giant Pepsi refused to be drawn into the controversy.
Beckham signed an extension to his multi million pound sponsorship deal with German sportswear manufacturer Adidas last month.
A company spokesman dismissed any talk the allegations would impact their relationship with the Real Madrid star as 'silly.'
High Street chain Marks and Spencer, which has worked with Beckham or a range of childrens wear, were quick to back the star.
Stephen Chelotis, from Superbrands, an independent authority on brands, said 'A bit of bad publicity in this case could be a good thing because he has an image of hardly putting a foot wrong. A lot will depend on whether the public trusts Beckham more than media.'

I think Dave and Posh are having communication problems. If he wannabe her lover, I think he should tell her what he wants, what he really, really wants. Then 2 become 1.

At least Pepsi is withholding comment, unlike Adidas.

True. They might be waiting for a blast from O'Reilly again.
