A Come Dine With Me winner has admitted to having sex with her friend’s 15-year-old son.

Lucy Haughey used Facebook to arrange for the teenager to come to her house in June 2016, Glasgow Sherriff's Court heard.

There, the 37-year-old had sex with the schoolboy. She later allegedly told a friend she was “glad” it was her and not a “skinny, skanky schemy”.

Schemy is a Scottish term used for those brought up in housing schemes in Edinburgh.

Haughey, who pleaded guilty in April to bombarding her former boyfriend’s ex-partner with online abuse, later confessed to a friend she was a “bad person”, The Scottish Sun reports.

Claire White, prosecuting, said the mother-of-three had sex with the boy in her bedroom. Months later she told a friend online that his mother “can’t ever know”.

“He wanted introduced, I’m an expert, it happened,” she reportedly said on Facebook Messenger.

Haughey, from Glasgow's south side, said the teenager wanted sex again but she refused, the Daily Mail reports. She told her friend the boy had a “crush” on her and she “also had a lot of respect for him”.

“I'm glad it was me and not a skinny, skanky schemy,” she said.

When the friend told the unidentified teenager’s mother, Haughey “broke down and started crying and also admitted to having sex with the accused,” the court heard.

The incident was later reported to police.

Sheriff Barry Divers put Haughey on the Sex Offenders’ register but deferred her sentence until a later date, according to The Mirror.
