Former prostitute Helen Wood regrets speaking to press about British actor

The former prostitute at the centre of an injunction over claims that she slept with a famous British actor has said she regrets speaking to the press.

The married star won a court order to stop British newspapers from identifying him, but he has been named in the US.

Helen Wood, who once claimed she had an affair with England footballer Wayne Rooney while his wife Coleen was pregnant with her first child, said she wishes she had never made disparaging comments about the actor.
