The glamour model PA who once claimed she had a fling with Becks now lives a very different life in the Norwegian mountains
REBECCA Loos shot to fame in 2003 when she alleged she had an affair with married footballer David Beckham - and spent the next few years selling kiss-and-tell stories, posing for topless photo shoots and cashing in on trashy reality TV deals.
But the former Celebrity Love Island star - who famously pleasured a pig to collect its semen on reality TV - now lives a very different life in the Norwegian wilderness, where she spends her days running topless through the mountains, foraging for food, worshipping the moon and teaching yoga.
Now 40, Rebecca - who was rumoured to have made £1million from her 15 minutes of fame - tells us she's swapped her bikinis and barely-there dresses for hiking boots and woolly hats, after leaving London and escaping to the Scandinavian wilderness.
Rebecca worked as a PA for the Beckhams when David played for Real Madrid in 2003 and claimed she had a sordid four-month affair with the footballer.
The Beckhams denied the allegations and the claims were never corroborated.
Talking to Sun Online about her lifestyle U-turn Rebecca says: "Now I spend my time practising yoga, running, biking and hiking and foraging for wild food for my two young sons. Life is very different."
The yoga guru is now incredibly spiritual, and believes her body is in tune with the moon.
In a recent blog post, she spoke of how a new moon gave her an unearthly energy that helped her find inner calmness.
"I am grounded, I am home, healthy and happy," she says. "It fills my heart with the heat of love to think that more than me choosing this mountain life, maybe, just maybe, it was the mountains that chose me."
Rebecca left London in 2008 when she unexpectedly fell pregnant to Norwegian doctor Sven Christjar Skaiaa, 44, who she met on reality show 71 Degrees north. He was working as a behind-the-scenes medic.
She'd lived in London since she was 19 and loved it - but moved to the Nordics to raise her son with her lover.
"Sven is an outdoor man and mountain lover and was not prepared to move to London - so it was I who moved to Norway so we could bring our son up together," she says in her well-spoken English accent.
"I thought to myself that if it doesn’t work out in Norway I can always move back to London. That was 10 years ago.
"I do miss the hustle and bustle of the city - the museums, exhibitions, cinemas, theatres and being close to the airport.
"But I don't regret it. I moved away for love - the love for my man and the little one growing inside me. I wanted to do what was best for the baby.
"We want to bring up our children surrounded by nature - playing outdoors as much as possible, skiing, hiking, biking, learning about nature and most importantly - loving and respecting it. We would be nothing without it."
The couple, who married in a low-key ceremony in 2012, bought an old farmhouse in tiny hamlet of Hemsedal in the Norwegian mountains where they still live now with their two sons, Magnus, ten, and Liam, six.
Their family home in the Buskerud county, southern Norway, is three hours away from the airport and a two-hour drive to the nearest hospital.
Rebecca's life just outside the Arctic circle is a far cry from her clubbing and reality TV days.
She now spends her time practising Ashtanga yoga, running through the mountains, writing her wellness blog, and walking her dogs in the hills.
"I'm up at 5am every day to practise yoga for two hours before taking the kids to school and heading to work in my little yoga studio in the village centre where I normally teach two classes," she tells us.
"After picking the kids up at around 4pm, I cook up a plant-based meal for the family - usually Vietnamese spring rolls or something else Asian - anything Japanese, Thai or Indonesian.
"I fast between 6pm and 11am and I rarely drink alcohol," she says. "I really feel the side effects of even just half a glass of wine so I rarely touch it so I can always practise my yoga with a clear head."
The mum-of-two is now a full time vegan and often forages for food in the mountains to feed her sons, who she refers to as her 'little vikings'.
"We pick blueberries, raspberries and cloudberries - a Norwegian delicacy - from the mountains on our doorstep," she tells us. "In the summer we go mushroom hunting and potato picking too."
Rebecca clearly feels most comfortable outdoors. Recent pictures on her Instagram profile show her posing topless on the top of a mountain ridge.
"In my free time I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my girlfriends," she says. "Sometimes we will cook or have coffee but being outside is really important to me."
More than me choosing this mountain life, maybe it was the mountains that chose me.

Keen to share her love of the big outdoors with her followers, the Spanish-born beauty has recently set up a wellness retreat in her tiny Norwegian village, where clients can go and stay for a weekend of yoga, hiking, and good vegan food.
"I also still model and accept a handful of jobs a year," Rebecca - who admits to still keeping in touch with some of her celebrity friends via Facebook - explains.
"I still get asked to do TV work in the UK, Spain and The Netherlands but always turn them down.
"My husband’s work is in Oslo so he is away a lot. I have the kids and my teaching so I can't travel as much as I used to.
"Plus I have learned to put my energy in projects that make me happy and I feel passionate about.
"I'd never say never to doing reality TV again, but my focus now is on my boys."
Rebecca has now made it clear she won't move back to the UK - or to her Spanish homeland - for fears her boys will grow up surrounded by media attention because of her notoriety.
She declined to comment when asked if her boys knew about the scandal and if she intended on telling them.
Speaking to Daybreak in 2013, she said: "I'm a mother now and married and knowing what I know now I would definitely have gone about things quite differently.
"I was young and foolish and very reckless. I didn't think things through and acted on impulse a lot.
"I think I regret the impact on everybody. I think I could have gone about it in a kinder way.
"I don't regret speaking out but I regret the way I went about it."
