Teen girl hunted by great white in ‘Jaws’ attack Rooney’s lad takes a dive..

WAYNE Rooney might be flipping out as wife Coleen refuses to wear her wedding ring, but their son, Kai, is doing somersault­s on his holidays in Barbados.

Coleen, 31, is spending half term at the Sandy Lane resort with the kids, Kai, seven, Klay, four, and Kit, one, while Everton star Wayne, 31, stays at home.

The marriage took a nosedive last month after Wayne was caught drink-driving in party girl Laura Simpson’s car following a night at a bar. Klay, Coleen, Kai & Wayne BY A TEENAGER was hunted by a 15ft shark that flung her from her kayak in a “Jaws-like” attack.

Sarah Williams, 15, was sent flying into the sea with the circling predator, thought to be a great white.

Describing it as “everything you picture in Jaws”, Sarah said: “When I was in the water with it, I saw what it was and I saw its fin.”

Her brother hauled her on to the family’s motorboat travelling alongside, but the shark continued to try to get at Sarah before finally giving up.

Dad Chris watched the “ferocious” attack from the boat. He said: “Sarah was thrown into the air and came down into the water. This shark rolled and I saw the dark side and the white belly, huge fins and white water everywhere. “It was going to eat her... The difference between my daughter being alive and not is 10 seconds.”

Mum Adrienne, who was kayaking near Adelaide, South Australia, said: “The shark followed the kayak while it was roped to our boat for about 10 minutes trying to come back at it.

“It was the same length as the kayak.”

The attack prompted calls for a cull, but officials said such a move could “compromise” other sea creatures.
