Wayne Rooney risks house blaze after blowing up hairdryer in his sleep

Coleen Rooney opened up about a near-disaster that almost happened when her husband, Wayne Rooney, was trying to sleep

Coleen Rooney revealed Wayne once risked a fire in their home when he blew up a hairdryer while trying to sleep.

The WAG, 38, who has been married to the football star since 2008, opened up about her bond with her husband, her I'm A Celebrity stint as well as the infamous Wagatha Christie trial during a chat with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane and Ian Wright on the Stick to Football podcast.

In one hilarious moment, the I'm A Celebrity runner-up revealed Wayne sometimes uses a hairdryer to help him sleep as he finds the calm noise soothing. However, the white noise almost turned into a raging fire when he blew up the hairdryer while trying to have a little rest.

Speaking about the near-disaster, Coleen explained: “It’s a fan when I’m in the bed, but if not, it is a hairdryer. If I get up, if he’s still in bed I hear him get a hairdryer. Has he told you that it’s caught on fire before? The hairdryer is on cool, but one time he was cold, so it turned it to hot – and it blew up!”

Elsewhere in the podcast, she also told how she is so organised while her lads are so boisterous she has a rota for literally everything. She said: “It’s madness, it’s just mayhem all the time. We have a rota of who gets to sit at the front [of the car] going to school. Even though there is a rota, it’s just mayhem every morning.

"They just torment each other and it’s like a domino effect. It’s a lively house but it’s funny because everyone loves coming to our house, because it’s just entertaining. I grew up with two brothers, so I’m used to being around boys. I quite like the boys. Wayne would have liked a girl, and I think would I have clashed for a girl! Boys just get on with it and girls are more emotional.”

Last month, Coleen made her family proud as she came in second place after Danny Jones in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! She became a quick hit with fans, who praise her calm demeanour and down-to-earth personality.
