Coleen Rooney has revealed Donald Trump’s strange request to Wayne Rooney when they met while her husband was playing in the US.
Rooney, appearing on I’m A Celebrity, recounted that the US president asked her husband to teach his son how to play football.
Discussing her encounter, she told her fellow campmates: “When we lived in America, we got invited to the White House for Christmas and we went in to meet Donald Trump.
“And so we walked in and we had to get the official photograph taken in front of the Christmas tree.
“So Donald Trump said to his son ‘See? Told you, all the soccer players get the good-looking girls’.
“And I told my mum, I was like ‘dirty b******’.”
