David Beckham has filed suit against a tabloid who claimed he cheated on his wife Victoria with a high-class call girl.

According to the report published by In Touch, former hooker Irma Nici claimed that in 2007 she scored five times with the soccer star, whom she rated as a 7 1/2 in bed.

Beckham vehemently denied these claims and is now going after the tabloid in a court of law.

In the suit, Beckham accuses the mag of libel, slander and intentionally causing emotional distress. He's also going after Nici herself.

David's attorney has said the story is "completely untrue and totally ridiculous."
