The 29-year-old told a BBC documentary that her husband had done some ‘stupid things’ in his time, even since their marriage in 2008.
Coleen told Gary Lineker: ‘He was young and he done (sic) some stupid things, like most young lads - but obviously Wayne is Wayne Rooney so he got a lot of press over it so everyone for to find out what he was doing and when he was doing it.’
The mum of two admitted she was angry and upset by some of Wayne’s behaviour, and questioned why he did them when he knew they would come out.
‘It’s part of growing up in the public eye and there are some things you do and never do again.’
Speaking of their relationship, Coleen said: We’re both from strong down to earth families. We’re both different characters. If Wayne needs telling off I’ll tell him off. And vice versa but we get on well, we’re mates.’
Although the couple have never publicly commented on the scandal, in 2010 Rooney was accused of paying for a threesome with Helen Wood and Jennifer Thompson while Coleen was pregnant.
The football star did admit that he had solicited prostitutes in 2004, before he and Coleen had ‘settled down properly.’
