London, Feb 3: A woman who boasted of having slept with 1,000 men has confessed to once being a man, a media report said Friday.

Sex addict Crystal Warren, born Christopher Snowden, changed gender in 2005, the express.co.uk reported quoting The Sun newspaper.

The 42-year-old said: "I'm scared there will be a lot of angry men out there... but I have to tell the truth.

"A lot of people will think I've lied to those I've had sex with.

"But I don't feel I have because I'm a woman and my past is all behind me."

Crystal, who lives in Brighton, was born in a Somerset town.
