Her carefree appearances come amid David Beckham's email scandal, which saw her name be dragged into the digital fiasco.

The former Manchester United has been swept up in a damaging correspondence between himself and PR chief Simon Oliveira were leaked.   

In one message the ex-England captain allegedly claims singer Katherine, 36, got an OBE for 'singing at the rugby and going to see the troops plus taking coke. F*****g joke'. 

Jenkins, 36, had previously admitted in an interview with The Mail on Sunday that her life was almost ruined by cocaine and ecstasy.

Beckham’s outburst would no doubt have come as an unpleasant surprise to the classical star, who only a year earlier had been forced to deny unfounded internet rumours of an affair with him and has declined to comment on the email fallout. 

The leaked emails also include a number of bombshells and series of sweary-rants and may even have been used as part of a £1million blackmail plot. 

In the leak, David reacted angrily when he found out he had been passed over for a knighthood.

The former England captain branded the Honours Committee 'unappreciative c***s' and dismissed lower awards, ranting: 'Unless it’s a knighthood f*** off'.

He allegedly continued to rant at the honours committee, saying he 'expected nothing less' and asking 'who decides the honours?'

It's a disgrace to be honest and if I was American I would of got something like this ten years ago,' he continued.

According to the revelations, the Honours Committee had already agreed that Beckham's nomination – almost certainly proposed by his PR advisers – was well 'merited' before a routine check of his tax affairs. 

A spokesman for the star said: ‘This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture.’

In another email, David dismissed Oliveira's suggestion that he put one million dollars (£800,000) into a prize-giving Unicef dinner in Shanghai.

Beckham allegedly replied: 'I don't want to put my personal money into this cause,' claiming he added: 'To pour this million into the fund, is like putting my own money in.

'If there was no fund, the money would be for me. This f****** money is mine.'
