How she phoned brunette to say: Tell me the truth

-

COLEEN Rooney made an extraordin­ary phone call to the woman at the centre of husband Wayne’s drink-driving arrest, demanding: ‘Tell me the truth.’

The former England captain’s humiliated wife spoke to Laura Simpson for five minutes asking for a blow-by-blow account of what had taken place.

She quizzed the 29-year-old about her claims that the Everton footballer had ‘ogled’ Miss Simpson’s breasts and that they had kissed.

Mrs Rooney made the call at 1pm on Saturday – having contacted the party girl on the social media app Instagram before flying back from her holiday in Spain to confront her husband.

Rooney was at the wheel of Miss Simpson’s VW Beetle car when he was stopped by police and arrested in the early hours of Friday.

They had met at The Symposium nightclub in Wilmslow, Cheshire, where Rooney was drinking with friends.

Describing the ‘polite’ conversati­on with Mrs Rooney, Miss Simpson told The Sun: ‘She asked me to tell her what happened.

‘She seemed unhappy with the fact that we had left a nightclub in a cab together to go to my car. She did say both of us were at fault for getting in the taxi and that we shouldn’t have done that.’

Miss Simpson added: ‘She asked whether my car was parked outside the nightclub.

‘I told her it wasn’t and that it was outside a friend’s house and we had got a taxi to it. She asked, “Was your car not outside the front?”

‘I told her the truth, that it wasn’t, and that we had left in a cab together to get my car which was parked outside a friend’s.

‘I apologised to her and she said, “You have nothing to say sorry for.”’

Despite having said she would have spent the night with Rooney, Miss Simpson assured his wife: ‘Nothing like that happened.’
