A Scottish former Come Dine With Me winner has denied being a paedophile despite romping with a 15-year-old boy - because he 'threw his clothes off like a stripper'.
Lucy Haughey says she is abused and attacked in the street after she romped with the schoolboy in 2016, according to The Mirror .
The 38-year-old, from Glasgow's south side, was fired and put on the sex offenders register after admitting sleeping with the youngster in 2017.
The dinner lady was spared prison but slapped with a range of conditions.
But despite her conviction, Haughey still claims she is no monster because he "didn't look like a child".
"I’m not a paedophile. I had sex with a lad who was underage but he didn’t look like a child. That’s the whole point of paedophiles," she told the Metro .
"In the statement, it said I removed his clothing. Believe me, he was throwing it off like a stripper.'
"There were things that he did that a victim would not do."
Haughey says there were no victims in the incident despite admitting her actions were wrong and illegal.
But the law states anyone under the age of consent is not able to understand fully what they are doing.
The reality TV contestant, who won the £1,000 prize for the cooking show, says she's now lost her job and her children's bikes have been vandalised as a result of her conviction.
Haughey, who says the fling with the boy came after suffering abuse, believes she does not 'deserve a life sentence' claiming she has been called a paedophile and a monster.
In the interview, she adds the boy was 'made a victim' by his mother and claims the sex was consensual with a boy a week away from turning 16.
Haughey was sentenced to community service when she pleaded guilty at the sheriffs court in Glasgow two years ago to engaging in sexual activity with the boy.
The court heard she had arranged for the boy to come to her house via Facebook in June 2016.
Police were contacted shortly after Haughey admitted to someone online she had slept with the youngster.
Haughey was slapped with a range of conditions for her offence.
Procurator fiscal depute Claire Whyte told Haughey she is to have no contact with the boy, his family or children under 16, not to use social media without permission and she cannot delete her internet history.
She was also ordered to community work after stalking and abusing her then boyfriend's former partner for more than a year in a separate offence in 2017.
