Former escort Helen Wood has 'no regrets' about Rooney affair as she defends tell-all book

Helen claims she wants to set the record straight after being thrust into the spotlight in 2011.

A former escort who slept with Wayne Rooney says she has "no regrets" about her vice-girl past.

Helen Wood, 32, claims she was paid £1,000 to have a threesome with the England striker and her former friend Jenny Thompson, while Coleen Rooney was pregnant with the couple's first child back in 2010.

Now, Helen hopes to set the record straight in a new tell-all book, A Man's World, in which she will detail affairs with a string of high-profile men.

Defending her decision to release the memoir, Helen said: "People have taken an interest in my life.

"I'm sick and tired of people writing rubbish about me and people saying incorrect things.

"It's putting the record straight, it's closure and more importantly I want people that are interested in me to realise that the Wayne Rooney thing is a drop in the ocean - it's about my life and it's my biography."

Asked why she's choosing to publish a string of names in her book, she explained: "The people I decided to name in the book are the people that screwed me over."

Helen was thrusted into the public eye after she claims her former friend and sex worker Jenny Thompson sold her name to the tabloids, leaving her with no choice but to tell her story in her own words.

Asked by Jeremy Kyle and Ranvir Singh why she is choosing to bring the story back into the public domain, Helen argued: "People will be interested in reading my book because of the other stories that I've never been able to sit and tell.

"There are stories about my childhood; why I've done certain things and why I have behaved a certain way.

"People are very quick to judge, but this isn't just about escorting, this is about my life as a whole and I've never had the chance to write everything."

She added: "In an ideal world, I wouldn't be sat here now and you wouldn't know who I am but unfortunately, I'm making the most of it.

"There are people who want to know certain things and I will tell them in my own words - I'm sick of newspapers writing my story."

It's been nearly ten years since Helen worked as an escort, and since then she has turned her life around after appearing on Big Brother series 15 in 2014, which she went on to win.

Asked by Ranvir if she has any regrets about getting into escorting work, the mother-of-one replied: "No, I don't regret it. I can't sit here and say I regret it, because I've openly talked about it.

"I did what I did, and it was nobody else's fault. I'm not pointing the finger at anybody and I don't regret doing that."

Both Jenny Thompson and Wayne Rooney were approached by Good Morning Britain and declined to comment.
