The grandmother who found herself at the centre of a Wayne Rooney sex scandal has testified in the phone-hacking trial that she did not sleep with him, but told him to get out of the massage parlour before he destroyed his career.

The Old Bailey has also heard on Tuesday how Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator who has pleaded guilty to a conspiracy to hack phones, had targeted Rooney. The password for his phone was Stella Artois, the court heard.

Mulcaire also targeted a beautician from Windsor, Laura Rooney, who was not related in any way to the football star.

She was targeted after a series of stories in the News of the World and other newspapers alleging that the Manchester United and England star had a relationship with Patricia Tierney, who the jury were told was a receptionist and cleaner at Diva's massage parlour in Liverpool.

In her statement, Tierney said it was not true that she had a sexual encounter with Rooney.

"I recall Wayne Rooney visiting the massage parlour with other males. Four days later he came on his own. I pushed him into a room and told him to put his hat down, get out of the massage parlour before he was destroyed and his career was over," Tierney's statement said.

Tierney has been married for 12 years to her husband, who she has been with for 28 years, the court heard.

The jury were also told that one of the pages in Mulcaire's notes had one reference to the Sun.

The jury was shown a series of Sun stories about Rooney dating from 2004 and 2005, one of which was about his alleged use of prostitutes, said Andrew Edis QC for the prosecution.

Counsel for Rebekah Brooks, Jonathan Laidlaw, said that the Mulcaire note with the word "Sun" was one page in the 8,000 found by police at Mulcaire's premises in 2006.

The jury was told there was no evidence of any phone calls between Mulcaire and the Sun and no evidence of payments.

Laidlaw said it was "a possibility" that Mulcaire "took it upon himself" to do something for the paper.

The trial continues.
