Beckham staff deny theft claims
1:39pm Tuesday 14th October 2008
David and Victoria Beckham's housekeeper has said allegations that he and his wife stole from the couple and tried to sell the property on eBay were "fabricated nonsense".
Eric and June Emmett were arrested on suspicion of theft on Friday and released on police bail.
Suspicions were raised when memorabilia belonging to the former England captain and his pop star wife apparently appeared on the eBay auction site.
According to reports, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham's parents Tony and Jackie Adams spotted some of their daughter's designer clothes on offer to bidders, along with the footballer's worn boots, and then discovered the items were missing from the couple's Rowneybury House mansion in Hertfordshire.
The Emmetts did not want to speak to reporters at their home in Nazeing, near Waltham Abbey.
The couple live in a large detached home in a leafy part of the Essex village on the edge of London.
Mr Emmett, who answered the door, said: "No comment", but added: "What is in the papers is fabricated nonsense. Totally fabricated, 99% of it is totally untrue."
