The conversation turned to their turbulent marriage when talking about Wayne’s footballing career.

Coleen said: ‘All he wanted to do was play football, he struggled with the fame side of it, he hated that. If he could’ve just played football and had none of the fame I think he would’ve been happier within life.’

‘He’s made mistakes along the way, but from 16, obviously you’re going to, that’s life.’

Explaining they got married young at 22, and engaged at 17/18, Coleen admitted because of that, ‘We felt older, because we had to grow up quick, because we were living in the public eye.’ 

‘Since the first mistake he’s made, that’s been in the public, people have not forgiven. When things have happened the public have wanted it to just go oh, split, you know, that’s it, split them up. But the fact is, there’s always been love still there.’ 

Coleen and Wayne tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Italy in 2008, with the big day said to have cost an estimated £5m. 

Before they married in a stunning ceremony in the village of Portofino on the Italian Riviera in 2008, Wayne admitted sleeping with prosтιтutes after being caught on CCTV at a backstreet Liverpool brothel. 

One was a 48-year-old grandmother known as ‘Auld Slapper’ who wore a rubber catsuit.
