Roo-hab for Wayne Claims Coleen has issued ‘wake-up call’ on boozing
David’s Beck in court for driving charge
DAVID Beckham has been charged with using his mobile while driving - just months after dodging a speeding rap. The ex-england skipper, 43, is alleged to have been spotted making a call in his £200,000 Bentley on November 21 by an onlooker who called police.
Yesterday his case was set for March 19 at Bromley magistrates court in South London.
In September the dad-of-four had a speeding charge dropped on a technicality after hiring “Mr Loophole” lawyer, Nick Freeman. WAYNE Rooney has allegedly been ordered into rehab by his wife Coleen in a bid to tackle his boozing.
It has also been claimed the former England captain has previously received counselling after drinking incidents.
Coleen, 32, is understood to have issued a “wake-up call” to her husband in the hope he will behave himself better.
And it is believed the mum of four has told him to seek professional advice.
Her concerns follow reports Wayne, 33, had been drinking with a barmaid after a night out with his DC United team-mates in Clearwater Beach, Florida this month.
The ex-manchester United striker was on a 12-day training camp with his team.
In December last year he was arrested and fined for public intoxication and swearing at Washington Dulles Airport.
PROBLEMS
His arrest came four months after he left Everton to join the US club on a £300,000-a-week deal.
This week a source was quoted as saying: “Wayne has been here before. In 2016, after England’s humiliating Euros exit to Iceland, he sought help from a counsellor to help overcome his problems.”
Wayne’s press team have been approached for a comment.
Coleen was pictured yesterday in Washington without her wedding ring after a Valentine’s Day visit to a nail salon.
In 2017 he received a two-year road ban for being over the limit while driving a car belonging to a woman he met in a bar.
Coleen later forgave him, saying: “Do I love Wayne? Yes I do. If I didn’t, then I wouldn’t be trying to make it work...”
