REBECCA Loos will be swapping Golden Balls for golden chains when she jets into Southampton today to promote a city jewellers' new range at Debenhams.

The "Madrid Temptress", who allegedly had an affair with England striker David Beckham, will be in the city to help launch a new range of diamond rings and gold chains created by Kim Rose of Eclipse Jewellers in Hanover Buildings.

Kim explained: "I met Rebecca Loos at a party through a friend of mine and she was very interested in the range. She said that 95 per cent of the jewellery would be items she would buy herself, she liked them so much."

Kim, a former General Election candidate for Arthur Scargill's Socialist Labour Party, said his jewellery will initially be sold exclusively at the Southampton Debenhams store but there were plans afoot to extend the range.

Ms Loos will be at Debenhams store in Queensway from 11.30am to 2.30pm.
