Rooney party girl: He doesn’t deserve Coleen’s forgiveness
THE woman sharing a car with Wayne Rooney when he was arrested for drinkdriving said yesterday that she does not think his wife Coleen should forgive him.
Laura Simpson, 29, was previously quoted as saying she left a bar with the former England captain hoping to ‘have some fun’ while his pregnant wife was in Majorca with their three sons – claiming that they would have had sex had they not been stopped.
But on ITV1’s This Morning yesterday she said she had no regrets as ‘nothing happened’, denying reports the pair kissed and cuddled.
When pressed by host Holly Willoughby whether she would ‘forgive and forget’ if she were in Coleen’s shoes, Miss Simpson said: ‘I don’t think he deserves ... it’s my opinion,
‘Don’t think I did anything wrong’
I wouldn’t do that to my partner.’ The office worker previously said she chatted with Rooney at a bar in Wilmslow, Cheshire, earlier this month before catching a taxi together to a nearby house where she had left her car. As the Everton player drove her home, police pulled them over because of a faulty brake light. He was allegedly over the drink- drive limit. Rooney, 31, was charged with drink-driving, and is due to appear in court next week.
Challenging Miss Simpson, Miss Willoughby said: ‘ As a female, you know, sisterhood, I wouldn’t get into a car with a married man.’
Miss Simpson said she was ‘a couple of drinks down’, and told host Phillip Schofield: ‘I wouldn’t be over the newspapers if I got into a car with you.’ He replied: ‘You bloody would. My wife would be all over you.’
Describing the night, Miss Simpson said: ‘It was a bit of a whirlwind … There was no conversation. We just ended up in my car after getting out of the cab.’ When questioned on what she was planning to do with Rooney, she replied: ‘Go home.’ She was asked whether she regretted her actions, but said regret was ‘a strong word for a situation where I don’t really think I did anything wrong’.
Mrs Rooney, 31, has been pictured without her wedding ring since her husband’s arrest.
