Verne ‘Mini Me’ Troyer may be fuming about the leaked sex tape which was exposed last week, but his co-star in the steamy footage Ranae Shrider has no regrets about releasing it.

The X-rated footage hit the internet at the end of last month, and the pint-sized Austin Powers star is currently fighting to have the tape removed from website TMZ, which posted the video.

Shrider has admitted to leaking the footage herself, but claims it was Troyer's idea to make the film - because he loves seeing himself on TV.

And she insists she isn't ashamed of her actions as they both had fun filming it.

She tells News of the World: "Without a doubt there's nothing Verne enjoys more than seeing himself on screen. Watching his own films is his favourite hobby. So it was no surprise when he asked if he could film us having sex. He said we could use it to get ourselves turned on.

"Verne ordered champagne and strawberries to get us in the mood. Then we got down to it.

"First the tape shows Verne pleasuring me for 15 minutes which was amazing. The next 45 minutes is us having sex. And we really enjoyed ourselves."
