The tabloid heat from those lurid affair allegations is getting to soccer stud

David Beckham

A normally placid Beckham has been filmed angrily confronting a heckler who taunted him over

In Touch

magazine's cover story claiming he had an affair with a $10,000-a-night hooker.

And to be fair, who can blame him for spitting the dummy. The 'fan' behaved like a total turnip.

Becks confronted the taunting fan after his team, LA Galaxy, were defeated by the New York Red Bulls, 2-0, on Friday.

"Stop with the prostitutes," the heckler yelled as a bare-chested Becks made his way down the players' tunnel after the match.

Hearing the remarks, Becks turned around and marched towards his heckler. "Do you want to say it again?" he snapped.

"Oh, he's coming after me!" the fan is heard saying

on a video published

by the

News of the World

Looming in the fan's face, Beckham barks, "Do you want to say it again? Do you want to say it again?"

"I didn't say anything!" the fan pleads.

A visibly disgusted Becks adds, "You got a Galaxy shirt on! You got a Galaxy shirt on!"

Becks then walked away still furious before turning back again, adding, "Say it to my face!"

A snitch that witnessed the incident told the

News of the World

"It was a big shock to see David react in such a way. A real shock to everyone.

"The guy who yelled out was only young - he looked about mid-20s. He was about 6ft 2in, had blonde hair and wore a navy blue Galaxy jersey.

"I was very surprised David Beckham decided to turn around and approach him. He's an international superstar. I expected him to ignore the comment and keep on walking. I know his team lost, but he looked frustrated throughout the game."

Poor Becks.

Meanwhile, Becks is taking legal action against

In Touch

magazine, after it published allegations that he slept with Bosnian-born vice girl

Irma Nici

in 2007.

Nici alleges she slept with him in a New York hotel room in August 2007, shortly after he joined the LA Galaxy team, and at Claridge's hotel in London a month later.

Bend it (the truth) like Beckham...

The Beckhams have vehemently denied the allegations, speaking through their reps:

"The allegations that have been made are completely untrue and totally ridiculous as the magazine was clearly told before publication.

"Sadly we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it," adds the rep. "We are taking legal action against the magazine."

And Becks is a man of his word.

He filed a lawsuit

on Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming libel, slander and intentionally causing emotional distress.

The footballer's publicist,

Jeff Raymond

, says a lawsuit has also been filed in Germany, where the gossip magazine's parent corporation is located.

A furious Becks has reportedly written to German media owner

Heinz Bauer

in a bid to establish why a "tissue of lies" has been printed about him, according to the

Daily Mail

Meanwhile, 26-year-old hooker Nici, who claimed she had a threesome with the footballer, has reportedly told him to "drop his pants in court" to prove his innocence.

She claims she knows *"distinguishing characteristics" which would support her story and prove their alleged trysts took place.

And yet through it all, Victoria is said to be standing firmly behind her man.

A 'friend' told the

Daily Mirror

: "She says she is behind David 100 per cent - and is refusing to let these totally unfounded claims interfere with their lives."

While another tells

The Sun

, "This should be seen for what it is - the ravings of a desperate woman.

"She is a malicious fantasist without a single shred of evidence to support her pack of lies.

"The writs stand against her, the magazine and its publishers. The statement is further proof that she has absolutely no evidence.

"If she had, she would have disclosed it by now to one of the many publications she has been trying to hawk her story to. It is not surprising that she's had no takers."

But Nici is not shaken by those fighting words.

Nici's management said earlier: "Irma stands by her previous statements. Any lawsuit against her is a publicity stunt and without merit.

"Any attorney who brings an action against her should be prepared to face sanctions and pay all legal costs because they will lose.

"There is more to the story that Irma hasn't told yet. We are highly confident that Irma can provide enough detail and other forms of proof to persuade a jury that her tryst with David Beckham did indeed take place.

"Mr Beckham had better be prepared to drop his pants in court if he wants to pursue this matter as he has distinguishing characteristics which will prove without a doubt that Irma is telling the truth.

"Mr Beckham's baseless lawsuit is understandable. After all, he has to tell Posh something," the management added.

Meanwhile, the magazine is sticking by its story.

In Touch

would like to reaffirm that we stand by our reporting and have confidence in the credibility of the multiple sources we quote in the story," it said in a statement.

On that note, I'll leave you with this gem from Britain's Metro.co.uk.

*"Rumours have circulated for years about a distinguishing feature of Beckham's manhood but Nici - who has refused to take a lie detector test - could have found these online in a bid to boost her claims."

What a load of Goldenballs!
