Laura said: “One of Wayne’s pals came up to me and said, ‘You know Wayne likes the look of you and wants to go somewhere with you’.
“I said, ‘Yeah, OK’. I was told to meet him outside in a taxi which had been called. It was
past two saying, ‘Wayne Rooney’s just been arrested in my car’.
“My mum was kicking off. We thought she was lying until we saw he was arrested in a VW Beetle that’s 10 years old.”
Eden, of Cadishead, Gtr Manchester, revealed Laura’s car is so old the pair had struggled with the window when they were pulled over. She about 1.15am. We arranged for the taxi to drop us at my friend’s house where I’d left my car.”
But it was while driving Laura’s black convertible VW Beetle that Rooney was arrested.
Laura added: “The taxi dropped us off, it was a five-minute ride or so, and Wayne paid.
“We didn’t go into the house but decided to drive off into the night – we had no idea where we were going.
“He’d been drinking but didn’t seem that drunk and took control. Nothing happened in the car, he didn’t make a grab
said: “The front’s falling off and the window doesn’t go up. When the police knocked they couldn’t get it down.”
She said Laura now wants to sell the car because it will always be associated with her night with Rooney. for me.” Rooney took the wheel as he felt Laura was “too drunk” – but minutes later the player was pulled over by police and arrested on suspicion of drink driving. Unrepentant Laura, a regional sales manager for a property management firm, yesterday defended herself from attacks on social media, insisting she was “thick skinned” and could “cope with what’s being said”. In one rant, which she later deleted, she called one commenter a “chubby ho”, saying, “No one ruined your life publicly… stop trying to annihilate me”.

“I just want to make sure she’s kept safe. Laura’s basically had a little bit of banter with him in a bar and left with him and he’s got caught by the police, that’s it.”
While Laura was making no apology to Rooney’s wife Coleen – who jetted home from her family holiday when the news broke – there was concern for her on Twitter.
One tweeted: “What about Coleen. Did you not think of her? No self respect.” Another said: “Probably most hated girl in Britain right now”.
Rooney was charged with drink driving and will appear before magistrates later this month.
