The Telegraph report:
‘Coleen McLoughlin has suddenly realised that she is "only known for being engaged to Wayne Rooney and spending vast amounts on daft outfits". She wants "to achieve something in her own right", 'friends' are apparently saying to the tabloid prints. Not straying far from stereotype, McLoughlin was due on stage in Liverpool last night for her live singing debut.
‘She has been taking lessons from Jennifer John, a respected voice coach. John has said that "Coleen is a natural", but it was another comment that was more revealing: "Coleen has a lot of time and money on her hands."’
Meanwhile Brian Reade in the Mirror reports:
‘Collins English dictionary has added the word "Rooneymania" - defining it as the ecstatic hype that surrounded Wayne's impact during Euro 2004 - to its on-line version.’
