LONDON, England -- The father of the second woman to claim she had an affair with football star David Beckham has told reporters he feels "totally devastated" about the revelations.

Malaysian-born Sarah Marbeck, 29, who lives in Australia, told Britain's News of the World newspaper she first slept with Beckham after the two met on a Manchester United tour in Singapore in July 2001.

She said she even had sex with Beckham while his wife Victoria was pregnant.

Her father Terrance Marbeck told reporters camped outside his home in Perth, Western Australia, he first read about the allegations on the Internet.

"I just want to send a message to Sarah -- she's not here: Wherever you are, Mum and Dad love you very much. And call us." He added: "If you had a daughter, would you like all these revelations coming out in the press? I'm feeling pretty rotten about it."

The Beckhams were expected to spend Monday in talks planning their next move after the new claims about the England captain's alleged infidelities.

The News of the World also printed an interview with Beckham's former assistant Rebecca Loos who said she had slept with the 28-year-old four times.

Loos, who worked for Beckham following his move from Manchester United to Madrid last year, told the News of the World: "He needed a woman to be with him and to help him through a difficult lonely spell in his life.

"His wife was thousands of miles away all the time and was no support for him at all."

Victoria, a former Spice Girl, gave a public show of support for Beckham Sunday night as he took the field for Real Madrid.

She was in the stands at the Bernabeu stadium as Beckham started the La Liga match against Athletico Osasuna. But there was more bad news for Beckham, as his side crashed to a 3-0 defeat. (Full story)

Beckham has dismissed Loos' claims as "ludicrous," but not commented so far on Marbeck's allegations.

Sources close to the footballer said he was "uncontactable" as he concentrated on preparing for Sunday night's Real Madrid match.
