Helen Wood, the former prostitute who hit headlines when she bedded Wayne Rooney in a threesome more than 10 years ago, is now living in Dublin.
The sex worker became famous in 2010 when it emerged she and fellow escort Jenny Thompson indulged in a racy night of passion with married footballer Wayne - who’s wife Coleen Rooney was pregnant with their first child at the time.
Helen was a single mother who was working as a prostitute after she got in debt when she was 19-years-old.
She claims to have slept with four multi-millionaire footballers, three actors and a high-profile judge - and has admitted to bedding Irish politicians and rugby players.
But it was her tryst with Wayne that made her an unexpected household name, The Mirror reports.
She was introduced to the Manchester United player in July 2009 - when Coleen was five months pregnant with their eldest son Kai - and Helen and Jenny were paid by another player at the club to take part in a night of group sex at the luxury Lowry hotel in Manchester.
Helen later said Wayne was “full of remorse” after they had sex, and he showed her pictures of Coleen’s ultrasound scans, warning her that news of their encounter couldn’t get out as he had “so much to lose".
“After we had sex he brought up the fact that he was going to become a dad soon. I asked him if he was all right, and he replied, ‘I don't know why I've just done that,’” she told MailOnline in 2019.
Jenny went public with their night of passion with Wayne, and while the footballer’s lawyers tried to suppress the story, news emerged of Wayne’s infidelity shortly before he was due to go to South Africa to play for England in the 2010 World Cup.
Helen later sold her story for £40,000 (€47,500), and in a tell-all book about her life.
In 2019's A Man's World, Helen said she’s ditched sex work and was caring for her mother who suffers from dementia.
She also took part in the non-celebrity version of Big Brother in 2014, and won viewers over as she ended up scooping the £100,000 (€118,700) prize.
She even turned her hand to writing, and penned a regular column for the Daily Star newspaper until 2017.
She’s now ditched the limelight, and prefers instead to spend time with her son, and her beloved dog Bruno.
Helen deleted her Instagram account, declaring the app to be full of “t*ssers”.
“Deleted Instagram because of the amount of t*ssers on there, twitters slowly turning into Instagram… under 25s need to f**k off!” she tweeted back in 2020.
Her bio reads only, “cosmetic tattooist”, and her recent posts reveal she’s currently living in Dublin.
It's understood she spends her time between between Dublin, the Isle of Man and London.
On Monday she asked her 112,000 Twitter followers: "Restaurant recommendation for Dublin please, Good food / atmosphere."
While today she said she was looking forward to attending Liam Gallagher's concert in Kilmainham on August 27.
Helen has spoke in the past about her time working in Ireland, including sleeping with a chauffeur-driven politician and a rugby player.
"I saw a politician in Dublin," she told the Irish Independent in 2011.
"He told me, 'I shouldn't be here. I'm actually a politician'. When he was in the shower, I looked out the window and there was a car parked outside with a chauffeur.
"He had a bottle of champagne with him. We were just having a friendly chat and he said, 'I've got a proposition for you. I don't know how open-minded you are. Can I put something to you?' He said, 'I see ladyboys on occasion. How would you feel if I brought one along with us? He's just a phone call away'.
"I kind of freaked a bit and said no. He paid to stay with me for two hours but I didn't have sex with him because I wouldn't have sex with the ladyboy. He was really nice though."
On sleeping with a famous Irish rugby player, she said: "My friend used to see a rugby player all the time. They'd built up this weird relationship.
"One time she couldn't make it over and she offered me instead. I saw him in Dublin. He was so fit. He had gorgeous blue eyes."
While Helen said she "loved" Dublin, she didn't enjoy working in Cork.
"We came over to Ireland and went around different hotels. Dublin, Belfast, Galway and Cork. We worked a lot in Cork. I hated Cork. They're a different breed. They're like the rednecks of Ireland. They're totally not with it when it comes to sex and women.
"A massive bunch of them would request the strangest of things. One man wanted me to treat him like a little boy. A lot of them were gay but they wouldn't admit it.
"They're quite dirty in Cork. They're not clean, not like city boys. A lot of them reminded me of farmers. They'd ask for the weirdest of things.
"I had a couple of clients from Cork that wanted to be treated like dogs. They'd sit there and pant at your feet and lick them. They wanted beating up. They'd never have sex, they just wanted you to twat them," she said.
