Coleen Rooney has revealed how her husband Wayne’s strange sleeping habit once caused a fire in the bedroom.
Coleen and Wayne, both 38, are childhood sweethearts who met at school before marrying in 2008.
Having been together for over two decades and married for almost 17 years, the couple are fully aware of each other’s quirks, and Coleen has now opened up about the time one of Wayne’s got them into trouble.
The media personality, who finished second in I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! Last month, he stated that Wayne likes to sleep with a hair dryer on to keep cool, but this came back to haunt them one particular night.
Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, presented by sky betColeen explained: “It’s a fan when I’m in bed, but if not, it’s a hair dryer.” If I get up, if he’s still in bed, I hear him reach for a hair dryer.
‘Has he told you before that it caught fire? The hair dryer is cold, but once it was cold, so he turned it on hot… and it exploded!’

Fortunately, the couple were able to put out the fire and Coleen can look back on the incident and smile.
The couple now have four children together; Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass.
But before they had children, Wayne’s proposal came and, as expected, he did it in an unorthodox way.
Coleen set the scene on the Stick to Football podcast when she revealed the former Manchester United and England superstar took a knee at a petrol station.
“We were only 17 years old and we were looking for a Chinese guy,” he began. ‘I don’t remember if we were arguing or something, but I said I didn’t want to talk Chinese.
“So, we stopped at the gas station, then he came in, got out (knelt down) and said, ‘I was going to ask you when we were at the Chinese.’ Now I’m glad he never asked. Me when we were going out for a Chinese!”
“Then we went back to my mother’s house and ate corned beef hash. He’s not very good at keeping secrets, so he knew it was going to happen; I didn’t think it would happen then.’
It may have been an unusual proposal, but it worked when Coleen said “yes.”
They married on 12 June 2008 in Portofino, Italy, at a wedding attended by several of Wayne’s United teammates at the time, including Michael Carrick, Wes Brown and John O’Shea.
More than 16 years later, they are still together and Coleen still puts up with Wayne’s strange bedtime routine.
