Back In 2009 it was revealed that former escort Helen Wood had a threesome with the then-Manchester United player Wayne and her friend, and former escort, Jenny Thompson.

In 2019 the former England captain’s marriage was said to be ‘hanging by a thread’ after he was spotted drinking with barmaid Vicki Rosiek until 2.30am.

In 2017, just before he was due to move to the US, the former England captain apologised for his ‘unforgivable lack of judgement’ as he was banned from driving for two years and given 100 hours’ community service after a drinking heavily with a party girl.

He was stopped by police while driving 29-year-old Laura Simpson home from a night out in her Volkswagen Beetle in Wilmslow, Cheshire, at 2am on September 1. Rooney was stopped because Miss Simpson’s car had a faulty brake light.

Coleen was then pregnant with the couple’s fourth child – and was seen without her wedding ring. For a period it appeared they were living separately but she took him back after his apology.
