New York, September 14 : Ashley Dupre, the former high-class call girl at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, is tired of hiding and wants a comeback.

The 24-year-old was dubbed as an ‘informant’ during the scandal that saw the politician patronising a prostitution service that subsequently led to his resignation from the post of New York Governor.

And eighteen months after the storm, Dupre, who is recording pop songs and wooing a record deal, is seeking to get her life back on track.

"Everyone likes an underdog story, and everyone likes a comeback. I''m the poster child for redemption," the New York Post quoted her as saying.

Dupre, who is also working on a book she calls a "cautionary tale," further laughed at the idea that she was after the limelight.

She added: "I didn''t ask for it, but now that I have it, it''s up to me to take advantage of this platform and do something amazing. I have a voice now.” (ANI)
