The Real Housewives Of New Jersey’s Danielle Staub has revealed that she has no regrets about participating in the reality show.

During the programme, the 45-year-old faced allegations about her past, which included her involvement in extortion, kidnapping and a drug arrest. The other Housewives obtained a copy of out-of-print book Cop Without A Badge which detailed the rumoured events.

Staub said that she wanted to use the series as a platform to start her life over, People reports.

She said: "I did [the show] for a whole new experience of trying to start my life anew and I really wanted everyone to come on the journey with me."

She added: "We’re just allowing everyone to see what goes on all over the place. We’re just letting everyone else see [our drama]. That’s why people are relating to us so well - because it’s what’s happening with them.

"People are acting like that everywhere. We’re making it okay."

The season finale of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey airs in the US on the Bravo network tonight.
