'He's no major celebrity... why would anyone want to read about him?' Prostitute Helen Wood says she had no intention of naming injunction actor

Wayne Rooney's prostitute Helen Wood says she was 'offended' when she was slapped with a gagging order by the famous actor she allegedly had an affair with.

The 24-year-old escort says she was outraged by the injunction and thought to herself, 'Why would anyone want to read about him?'

Writing in today's Spectator, she added: 'This man's no major celebrity - I hardly recognised him when he walked through the door.'

Wayne Rooney's prostitute Helen Wood says she was 'offended' when she was slapped with a gagging order by the famous actor she allegedly had an affair with.

In a “Diary of a Call Girl” — an echo of Dr Brooke Magnanti’s Belle de Jour journal - Miss Wood also writes of her anger that the actor has given interviews discussing his wholesome family life.

'If you're going to see escort girls, don't brag about your squeaky-clean private life,' she scolds. 'You're pushing your luck.'

Miss Wood, who also had sex with Wayne Rooney while his wife Coleen was pregnant, told how she turned to prostitution to support her young son.

Sound advice: 'If you're going to see escort girls, don't brag about your squeaky-clean private life,' Helen says 'You're pushing your luck'

In a diary of her life published in today’s Spectator, she outlines her journey from middle-class daughter of a university lecturer.

Ms Wood writes how she had an unhappy childhood and was placed in foster care with a vicar.

But she claimed her life fell apart when, aged 16, social services moved her to live on her own and she fell into debt.

'By that time I had bailiffs coming to my door and my landlord asking for sex in lieu of rent (I refused),' she wrote. 'That was when I heard from a friend about being an escort... it was an easy decision.

'It may sound perverse, but I became an escort because I wasn’t interested in men. I’d known enough violent ones in my time to put me off boyfriends and dating. My clients wanted company with no strings attached. So did I.'

After moving to Dublin and advertising herself as an 'elite English girl', she rented 'a beautiful apartment with a few other girls and made enough each month to begin to save a nest-egg for my son.'

Ms Wood claimed she has left the escort business and plans to write a book. 

She concludes: 'Is being an escort so much worse than being a gold-digger? That means telling someone "I love you" while only seeing pound signs. I never pretended to be anything I wasn’t.'
