"Max Clifford has said that Katherine Jenkins should not have posted on Twitter to deny rumours of an affair with David Beckham. The PR boss told Heat that the series of messages &amp;quot;maximised&amp;quot; the coverage of the alleged fling, which at the time was little-reported.   &amp;quot;Katherine&amp;#039;s tweet has done two things - obviously, it&amp;#039;s her making it very clear that there is no affair between her and David, but secondly it&amp;#039;s guaranteeing maximum publicity,&amp;quot; Clifford said. &amp;quot;If it was me, I would have suggested not saying anything, considering this &amp;#039;affair&amp;#039; hadn&amp;#039;t been widely reported.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;Take someone like Simon Cowell, I had hundreds of rumours that we never responded to and they would quickly go away. &amp;quot;So, generally speaking, I would say it&amp;#039;s better to say nothing. By denying it, Katherine has made her point, but she&amp;#039;s maximised the coverage and the tension.&amp;quot;   &amp;quot;Unfortunately, we have to deal with this type of nonsense on Twitter,&amp;quot; representatives for Beckham said. &amp;quot;One minute David is dead... then a more scurrilous rumour. There is not one jot of truth to any of it.&amp;quot;  Jenkins was later reported to have contacted police after allegedly receiving death threats following her denial of the fling.
