Coleen Rooney says Wayne is a 'different person' when he gets drunk

Coleen Rooney recalled the moment her husband Wayne was arrested in 2017 and described the "sickening" ordeal at length, explaining that the former Manchester United footballer was a "different person" when drunk and misbehaving.

The 37-year-old WAG was on holiday with the couple's kids when Wayne was stopped by cops when driving Laura Simpson's car home. He had met the then mystery 29-year-old on a boozy night out before driving her home in the vehicle, before being pulled over by police and arrested for being three times over the limit.

Wayne was later banned from driving after pleading guilty to drink-driving and was given a 12-month community order. Following the sentencing, Wayne released a statement which read: "Following today's court hearing I want publicly to apologise for my unforgivable lack of judgement in driving while over the legal limit. It was completely wrong.

"I have already said sorry to my family, my manager and chairman and everyone at Everton FC. Now I want to apologise to all the fans and everyone else who has followed and supported me throughout my career.

"Of course I accept the sentence of the court and hope that I can make some amends through my community service."

Mum-of-four Coleen says she was "heartbroken" after finding out about the incident, discussing everything that happened in the new three-part Disney+ series on the Wagatha Christie case which saw Coleen in court against Rebekah Vardy.

"I was in the airport and I got a phone call and it was Wayne. I just said, 'What’s gone on?' Straight away you don’t get much out of him. You don't get a lot of information. It was just sickening," she explained, detailing events from 2017. "I've had that feeling in my stomach a few times and I would never wish anyone to feel that. You do think, 'Do I actually know this person?' when things like that happen. Y’know, 'You’re not the person I married and the person I want you to be'.

"He just said, 'I’m sorry, I'm sorry'. And I said well, 'You can't be sorry because you know it's wrong what you've done,' and I just kept saying, 'You're stupid, you are just so stupid'." In response, Wayne said he "can't even remember" Laura. He explained: "Of course [Coleen] wasn't happy. But if I'm being honest, I can't even remember speaking to the girl in the bar, never met [her] before in my life. So there was never any talk of anything happening or anything was going to happen.

"You know, I'm driving another girl's car and she's in the passenger seat, it doesn't look great. I know what it was. But I also know what it looked like," He said before Coleen added: "I was just heartbroken. I just said I can't stay in the house and I went and stayed in my mums with the children."

It comes after Coleen spoke out for the first time about her inner turmoil around the Wagatha Christie court case – and the mental and physical pain it caused her. She made global headlines with her social media post ending 'It's....... Rebekah Vardy ' as she accused the fellow WAG of leaking private information to the press.

But when Rebekah responded by taking Coleen to the High Court in a libel case, the row took its toll on her. Coleen said: "Days after I put the post out, her legal team got in touch. I never imagined being in a legal battle for anything, never mind being in a legal battle for a post I put up on social media. Little did I know it was going to be the beginning of one of the horriblest times I have been through in my life." [sic] The legal battle went to the high court and a judge later ruled in Coleen's favour.
