Which actor did helen wood

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.

She also claimed she used a sex toy on him. Speaking on the chat show, she said that figure is incorrect and the actor need not have taken out the injunction because she would not have sold her story to a newspaper. An American magazine has now published his name with details of his alleged infidelity.

An American publication named another celebrity last month, who is alleged to have taken part in extra-marital activities despite the English media being banned from reporting his identity.

Last month, the president of the Supreme Court said individuals could still challenge the "more intense" dissemination of information that is already in the public arena. Lord Neuberger said: "The fact that information about an individual is in the public arena does not necessarily prevent that individual from challenging its dissemination more widely, more intensely or more permanently. Yesterday's newspaper would be today's fish and chip wrapping, and tomorrow's waste material.

She fell pregnant at the age of 16 and left home to live with her boyfriend and their son Jack. She has not had a relationship with her father since. Helen has said that she found herself living as a single mother at the age of 19 and got into debt.

She was recruited into escort work by her friend Jenny Thompson and it seemed the answer to her financial issues. When he ran to the courts to hush up Miss Wood's kiss-and-tell claims to The Sun, Mr Justice King agreed the actor — whom he described as 'a world-famous celebrity' — had a reasonable expectation that his sex session with Miss Wood was private.

At the time friends of Miss Wood, of Bolton, the daughter of an academic, claimed her relationship with the actor was well known. Jenna Hughes, 24, a former nightclub friend, said: 'It has been common knowledge up here for a while now and it really doesn't come as a surprise to us. A friend named only as Hayley said: 'The blokes she has these flings with should really know better.

She is the ultimate kiss-and-tell, and people in the public eye should watch their back. More fool them, I say. The latest case means people around the world will know all about the sordid claims, but UK publications still cannot publish the details. An injunction protecting another married man was overturned a fortnight ago by the Court of Appeal, which ruled that widespread online and global coverage meant the affair was now 'common knowledge'.

But Supreme Court judges said the Press blackout in England and Wales should continue while they decide if his appeal should be allowed. No timescale was given for how long they will take. The anonymity order was branded a 'farce' after the celebrity's name was published in Scotland, the US, Australia and online.

A survey carried out by MailOnline found that one in five people in England claimed to know the name of the star, who has two children with his spouse, who is also famous. Ryan Giggs' family-man image was left in tatters five years ago when he tried to hush up an affair with model and Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas. The former footballer secured an injunction to stop his name being made public — despite his identity being common knowledge online.

It then emerged that he had been sleeping with Natasha, his brother's wife. The affair apparently began in and continued while Stacey was pregnant with their children, now aged ten and Mrs Giggs apparently forgave her husband after the revelations. The Manchester United star is now facing one of the largest sporting divorce payouts in British history — after his wife finally ran out of patience with his womanising ways.
