Football superstar David Beckham may have to face a court over allegations he cheated on his wife Victoria with a prostitute - the sex worker has filed legal documents asking lawyers to order him to testify.
On Monday Beckham was dealt a blow as his libel lawsuit over the In Touch article detailing the claims by Irma Nici was dismissed by US District Judge Manuel Real for failing to produce evidence editors published the story with malice.
Now Nici has filed legal documents calling for lawyers to serve the sportsman with a deposition ordering him to appear in court over her allegations, which his representative has previously branded "untrue and ridiculous".
Documents, obtained by the Daily Mirror, reveal Beckham faces calls to be subjected to an "examination before an officer authorized to administer oaths" on 24 February.
Nici's attorney Paul Jensen is expecting Beckham to appeal the deposition, but he's adamant the star will have to go through with it at some point.
He tells the publication, "He may try to delay, reschedule or postpone it - but he can't avoid it."
