Eric, 55, who is also the director of a Birmingham-based packaging firm, said earlier this week: "We're totally innocent.

"It's a total fabrication. It's all got totally out of control. There is absolutely nothing in it. We have never taken anything from them ever - end of story.

"We had free access to the house and I looked after the cars and other bits."

June, 56, added: "I have known Victoria since she was a Spice Girl and even before then.

'Would I really take anything? I don't think so. The story is total, total nonsense. I'm afraid we're scapegoats because stuff has gone out of the house unfortunately."

Eric - who has revealed neither he nor his wife ever signed a confidentiality agreement - is also threatening to lift the lid on the couple's personal life.

He said: "At the moment we are only allowed to say certain things until the police have finished their investigations, but things which have happened during our time with the Beckhams can all come out. We have a lot of stories."
