DAVID Beckham has been spotted out for the first time since he was rocked by the explosive 'Beckileaks' drama.
The footie hero was seen out and about in London today while his wife Victoria got back to work in New York.
David, 41, was dealt a devastating blow last week when a series of emails between him and his advisers were leaked.
The messages contained sensational revelations which appeared to suggest he exploited his charity work as part of an effort to win a knighthood.
As Becks faced a backlash over the scandal, dubbed' dubbed Beckileaks, his wife Victoria, 42, jetted out of the UK to attend New York Fashion Week.
The former England captain has now been spotted out and about in the capital for the first time since the email furore.
David, who was awarded an OBE in 2003, dressed down in casual sports wear during his outing in London as wife Victoria threw herself into work in the Big Apple.
She was seen attending a business meeting in Manhattan this afternoon as she makes final preparations to show her Victoria Beckham brand at Fashion Week.
A total of 18.6million emails, communications and documents were accessed from the servers of Doyen Global, the sports management firm run by David's PR guru Simon Oliveira, 43.
The bombshell material was taken in 2015 and last year, and contains three years’ worth of information.
The Sun told how Beckham criticised the Honours Committee’s decision to make singer Katherine Jenkins an OBE.
Welsh star Katherine, 36, has since defended her right to the award in the 2014 New Year Honours.
Her manager, Professor Jonathan Shalit, told The Sun: “Beckham says, ‘Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops plus taking coke. F***ing joke’.
“I say Katherine was awarded an OBE for her services to music and charity.
“With regards to the taking of coke which Katherine has courageously publicly admitted with great honesty — this was when she was in her early 20s still studying, over a decade before she was awarded her OBE and started her recording career.”
The emails also included claims that David's team demanded Unicef pay for a £6,685 business-class flight for a charity trip although sponsors had laid on a private jet.
He is also alleged to have moaned that involvement in the Ingenious Media tax avoidance scheme was stopping him winning the knighthood.
The bombshell dossier was obtained by the Football Leaks website and published by European sites including Der Spiegel, L’Equipe and El Mundo.
Beckham’s team have said the emails were “hacked and doctored” to “give a deliberately inaccurate picture”.
A police probe has since been launched in Portugal, where Oliveira’s Doyen firm has its HQ.
