Rebekah Vardy has said she "deeply regrets" giving her 2004 tell-all interview about Peter Andre, in which she described a sexual encounter with the singer.
In her first interview since losing her Wagatha Christie libel battle, the WAG, 40, said she is "ashamed" of the story, but believes it should never have been brought into the trial.
Sitting down with Talk TV, Rebekah said: "That was a story I put my name to and that was something I deeply regret and I'm deeply ashamed of."
She added: "It was so long ago. Life for me was so different then.
"I tried to explain the situation and that was wrong for him to be brought into the situation and that had nothing to do with what I was accused of."
Peter, 49, was dragged into the trial between Rebekah and fellow WAG Coleen Rooney, after Coleen's lawyer probed Rebekah about a newspaper interview in which she went into detail about a sexual encounter with the Mysterious Girl singer.
In the proceedings at London's High Court, Rebekah took to the stand to admit she regretted describing his pecker as a "miniature chipolata" in a kiss-and-tell interview with the News of the World.
Elsewhere in the interview, a devastated Rebekah broke down in tears as she maintained her innocence to anchor Kate McCann.
She said: "I will say that ’til I’m blue in the face. I did not do it. I feel let down by a lot of people, a lot of things. But most importantly I feel let down by the legal system."
The high-profile court case, issued by Rebekah, drew to a close in May - three years after Rooney accused Vardy's account of leaking "false stories" about her to the press.
In a now famous social media post, super sleuth Coleen publicly claimed Vardy’s account was the source behind three fakes stories in The Sun newspaper she had posted on her private Instagram stories.
These posts included a gender selection clinic in Mexico, Coleen's plan to work on TV and that the basement of her new mansion had flooded.
Vardy has always vehemently denied leaking stories to the media and sued her fellow footballer’s wife for libel, but Mrs Justine Steyn ruled it was 'likely' Becky's agent at the time, Caroline Watt, 'undertook the direct act' of passing information to The Sun.
The High Court judge added the court considered "Vardy knew of, condoned and was actively engaged in this process".
Rebekah issued a statement after the ruling saying she was "extremely sad and disappointed" by the decision, and she did not accept it nor believe it "was just".
Vardy's interview is the first step in restoring her reputation - and it won't go unnoticed by industry giants who are reportedly offering lucrative deals for her side of the story to be told.
Meanwhile, Coleen, 36, is said to be in 'advanced talks' in telling her story in a documentary series made by Lorton films, who also made Rooney about her husband Wayne.
Coleen's friend told us previously: “Coleen has remained quiet ever since that famous online post. But this could all change in what could be the TV event of the year.
“Viewers would see all the evidence that Coleen has forensically gathered via her online sleuthing and see why she is convinced that Rebekah leaked the stories about her and others.
"She is minded to get it all out into the pubic domain and let people make their own minds up. Talks are very well advanced.”
A potential deal with Netflix is also reportedly on the cards, but it's looking like the show will be snapped up by Amazon Prime, as reported by the Mirror, and will be released later this year.
The WAG could be offered up to £250,000 for her involvement, according to The Times.
