Everybody was surprised last week by the news that David and Victoria Beckham had been in a horrific car crash in France -- not least David and Victoria Beckham, who knew nothing whatsoever about it.

The press were foaming at the mouth on Sunday over reports that the Brits' BMW had spun out of control on the drive from their home in Bargemon to Nice airport, where they were catching a plane to London.

But the soccer star just wrote in his blog that there never was a crash, and that the whole rumor was started because their car got a little knock in a parking lot!

"I know many of you would have been concerned to read about a supposed car crash involving me and Victoria," Becks wrote on his blog.

"I want to assure everyone there never was any crash at any time; our car had been dented many days before whilst vacant in a car park."
