Faria slates the "bloody English"

Faria Alam has attacked the English for apparently giving her a hard time over her affairs.

The former FA secretary dominated the red tops for several weeks in 2004 after it emerged that she had had affairs with both FA chief exec Mark Palios and England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson. Since then she claims to have received less than a welcoming reception from the public.

"[I'm not here] to clear my name - I didn't do anything wrong," she vented this morning, having been asked why she entered the house. " I got involved with someone who wasn't married, and I wasn't married, so what's the big bloody deal? Why am I hung and slung and bloody publicly flogged?"

She added: "The bloody English sit there and want to move with the times but they don't. I'm sick of being bloody judged all the time... and it hurts."
