Katherine Jenkins steps out in another Posh dress... despite Victoria Beckham 'removing singer from label's freebie list'

She was apparently removed from the list of 'approved celebrities' sent dresses from Victoria Beckham's collection following her Twitter denial of an affair with the latter's husband David.

However, it appears Katherine Jenkins is determined to keep on wearing one of her favourite designer's, despite her headline-making denial of the online rumours.

Pictured leaving the London Studios on Thursday after filming an interview, the classical singer, 32, was wearing a £1,650 cobalt blue pencil dress for Victoria's Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

The Welsh singer had worn the dress earlier that day when she met Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall during a tour of the new Macmillan Cancer Support unit in the University College Hospital.

The fitted dress, which hugged Katherine's curves in all the right places, was first worn by Posh, 38, at a Vanity Fair party in Hollywood in February 2012.

Although Victoria had been happy for Katherine to wear her designs over the years, their business relationship allegedly hit a stumbling block last year.

In August 2012, Katherine wrote a public denial of 'untrue and hurtful' Twitter rumours that she had had an affair with married father-of-four David.

At the time, the Beckhams' reps also denied the speculation as 'nonsense'.

However, the Mail On Sunday's Katie Nicholl's column reported a few weeks later that Victoria was furious the story had become front page news.

A few weeks following the denial, Katherine was apparently removed from an 'approved list' of celebrities who are sent dresses from Victoria's label.

A source told the Mail On Sunday: 'Victoria’s dresses are some of the most sought-after in Hollywood but Katherine is no longer on the approval list.

'If she wants a dress, she’ll have to go and buy it herself. There won’t be any favours from Victoria’s people.

‘Victoria is very discreet and certainly did not appreciate the gossip and rumours that started after Katherine’s tweet.’

But a source for Katherine has brushed off the reports, telling the MailOnline after she stepped out in the blue frock: 'Katherine has many dresses by many designers. This particular dress she bought a while ago and decided to wear today.

'As far as her stylist is aware she's not been taken off any list.'

In an interview with the MailOnline a year ago, Katherine spoke of her love for VB's designs: 'What I love about Victoria Beckham dresses is that they’re simple in the lines and they do everything to emphasise the female form so it pulls you in the right places and it makes you feel very womanly.

'The zips are great. When you buy an expensive dress, so often the zips go on them, but hers have this double zip. She knows what us girls need!'
