David Beckham will not be appearing on Desperate Housewives

Monday September 17th 2007

Rumours that David Beckham will be appearing on television show Desperate Housewives have been dismissed.

Stories circulated last month that the footballer would play one half of a gay couple alongside British pop star Robbie Williams.

But actress Eva Longoria, who plays Gabrielle Solis in the show, has denied the reports saying:

"I talked to Victoria [Beckham] the other day... she was laughing, (about the rumours)... David had a good laugh out of it. They're not coming on the show."

The fourth series of the suburban comedy hits US screens on 30 September.

Producers have confirmed a gay couple will move into Wisteria Lane - but they will be played by actors Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm.
