Two former housekeepers of David and Victoria Beckham have been arrested on suspicion of theft from their mansion in Hertfordshire.
Eric Emmett, 55 and his wife June, 56, from Nazeing, Essex, were arrested on suspicion of theft on Friday and released on bail.
It is understood police acted after items belonging to the former England captain and his wife appeared on eBay.
Mr Emmett described the allegations as "fabricated nonsense".

"The theft was reported to police on Friday 10 October," he said.
A spokesman for eBay confirmed they were co-operating with Hertfordshire Police.
"If it transpires that our site was being used to list stolen goods then we will work with the police to press for the harshest penalties," he added.
