EXCLUSIVE: THE NEW COLEEN DAY 0NE
Coleen McLoughlin
I'VE NEVER SPONGED OFF WAYNE ..I WORK HARD AND MY GOAL IS TO BE AN ACTRESS
By Clare Raymond

IT CAN'T be easy to pick the perfect gift for a boyfriend who has everything, even if you are Britain's most famous shopaholic.

But £50,000-a-week England star Wayne Rooney woke up to a double treat on Christmas morning - a Sopranos-themed pinball machine and a newly slimmed-down girlfriend.

Coleen McLoughlin feels like a new woman since shedding 10 pounds... and she doesn't mean Rooney's cash.

This week, exclusively in the Daily Mirror, she lifts the lid on life with Wayne, reveals her ambitions to be an actress and tells how her life has changed since she dropped a dress size and toned up her curvy figure.

"Losing weight has given me back my confidence after people kept saying that all I do is shop and spend Wayne's money," says 19-year-old Coleen, who has also made a workout DVD that shows others how to achieve similar results.

"Now I feel great. I have more energy and it has given me the boost to do other things."

And Coleen, who was nominated one of the world's 100 sexiest women by FHM magazine, says that 20-year-old Wayne is delighted with her new shape.

"He's made up," she says. "He doesn't say much about it but he's glad that I've got into exercise. When we're at home, I tell him what I've been doing in the gym and we chat about it. He's happy that I'm happy."

Coleen insists her relationship with the £28million striker is as strong as ever, despite negative stories which have dogged the couple since Wayne shot to inter national prominence at Euro 2004.

"Some people are jealous of our relationship and want to knock us down all the time," she says, with her enormous diamond engagement ring glinting on her finger.

"I think there are a few evil and jealous people out there who say things about us because they aren't content with their own lives."

That said, despite being engaged for more than two years, Coleen admits she's no nearer walking down the aisle.

"We're engaged so we are going to get married one day but we haven't planned anything yet. We love each other and that means we'll be with each other as long as we're alive.

"I haven't thought about what sort of wedding I want - though we won't be going off to do it in secret because I want my family and Wayne's family there."

WAYNE, who already has a £10 million fortune, is her first boyfriend but Coleen says she's sure he is Mr Right.

"We've been in a relationship for nearly four years and I'm really happy. I love him and he loves me. He's the one. From the moment I wake up in the morning, I think about him all day."

She has settled comfortably into their £3.5million seven-bedroom Cheshire mansion and shown a flair for fashion and designer shopping.

But Coleen may have trouble meeting some of the other roles required of a footballer's wife.

She admits she has no idea how she'd cope if her fiance is ever lured away from Manchester Utd in a big money deal to Italy or Spain.

"I cried for two weeks when we moved into our first house in Liverpool," admits the homesick teenager. "And that was just 25 minutes up the road from my mum.

"Then when Wayne moved to Manchester, I thought that was a big move. Now I realise it's only 45 minutes away. But I love company and need to have my family and friends around.

"Wayne is away a lot playing football but I make sure that I'm never on my own.

"Anyway, Wayne has years and years left at Man United and he loves the club."

Today, Coleen is, looking every inch J the glamorous footballer's wife.

To slim down to her new shape, she used a combination of healthy eating, aerobics, boxing and toning exercises.

She cut down on carbs, especially in the evening, and swapped chips and crisps for fruit and nuts.

"Last year, I noticed I was creeping up from a size 10 to a 12. I was putting weight on my legs, bum and thighs because I was getting too comfortable. So, earlier this year, I went to my local Weight-Watchers classes with my mum and lost 71bs.

"It was good because I could still eat the things I liked, as long as I counted the points. When I saw the results, I wanted to try even harder.

"I started going to the gym regularly and when we went on holiday in the summer, everyone noticed I'd lost weight.

"My body shape has changed dramatically. My thighs are more toned - they don't wobble when I walk - and my waist is smaller.

"OK, I do have a little cellulite but I don't worry about it. I feel better in k myself because I have more positive energy."

But Coleen has ruled out shedding more weight and becoming as waiflike as Victoria Beckham.

"I'm quite happy the way I am now," he says. "I don't want to be really skinny. It suits some people but wouldn't suit me. I'll continue to exercise but I won't be on a strict diet."

Luckily, eating out in fancy restaurants and enjoying occasional takeaways in front of the TV with Wayne hasn't damaged her weight-loss efforts.

"He is a healthier eater than me," she admits. "What gets me is that if we go to a restaurant, he orders a salad for his main course. I couldn't do that - I order meat and potatoes - but that's what he likes."

SHE says she'd like to have children with Wayne one day. "Yes, I'd love a family. I wouldn't like to be old and lonely."

But before that, Coleen is eager to pursue an ambition she has harboured since she was growing up near Wayne in Croxteth, Liverpool...

Coleen has always wanted to act and is getting set to take a drama class. "I'd love to be an actress but I have a lot to learn," she says in her scouse accent. It's one which would be perfect for her dream role - the part of Mickey's girlfriend in Willy Russell's Merseyside-set musical, Blood Brothers.

"I studied the play in school and have seen it loads of times," she says.

But first she'll need to hone her craft.

"Joining a local drama group will be a great way of learning and a good way to meet new people.

"Eventually, I'd love to be in a two-part drama, like the ones Tamzin Outhwaite stars in."

She realises, though, that breaking into the profession isn't easy and so has embarked on other projects. She beams with pride when talking about her weekly fashion column in Closer magazine, the recent TV show Coleen's Secrets on Channel Five and her fitness DVD.

All this has helped ease her frustration at her reputation as a work-shy shopping addict who fritters away her boyfriend's money.

"People said that Wayne paid for everything and I wasn't working," she says. "He used to tell me to forget about it because, to him, it's what's on the back pages that counts.

But, although I'm more confident now, and I realise you've got to take the good with the bad, it still annoys me when they go on about it.

When I had a Saturday job l in New Look, I'd save up for a new pair of shoes or top. Most girls are like that.

And on my 16th birthday, I spent all day in town with my mates and we walked round every ingle shop. That's the way I've always been.

Now I've got my wage coming in - I get paid for writing the column and I've got my money from Five, the DVD and all the photoshoots I do.

And, yes, Wayne likes to treat me now and again, too. He's generous and likes to buy me things."

Unsurprisingly, Coleen resents being portrayed as a lazy sponger.

"I've always been ambitious and I've always worked hard," she says.

"I left school at 17 when I was studying for A-levels because I wasn't enjoying it and wasn't getting the marks I could.

"I left because I wanted to concentrate on acting but then things went up the wall because of all the interest in Wayne and me."

She agreed to make Coleen's Secrets - about her life - to show the real Coleen, she says.

"When people meet me, they ask me loads of questions. So it was nice to show them who I am and where I'm from. So much is written about me but no one knows the real me." And she feels that she and Wayne will easily cope with any demands her burgeoning career will place on them.

"If I was offered, say, an acting job in London, it's only two hours away on the train - so that would be no problem," she explains.

"Wayne's away a lot anyway so we'd work it out. It's healthy to have a bit of space in a relationship. "It makes it more special when we're together. When Wayne has been away it's exciting and we can't wait to see each other. If we were together constantly, it wouldn't be so special."

And even when they're both in their spacious home, they are hardly in each other's pockets.

"We do our own things," says Coleen. "I'm usually tidying while he's playing on the computer or watching football.

"On Sundays, while I'm writing my column, he'll be watching Spanish football... or some foreign team. He watches every single game. It's his job and he loves it.

"If it's not an important match, I'll say 'turn over'... and he'll usually go into a different room to watch!"

JOSE: WE'RE NOT AS GOOD AS UNITED:p:p
By John Cross

JOSE MOURINHO last night amazingly claimed Chelsea cannot be compared to Manchester United - and that they have got to convince the footballing public they are the best team in the Premiership.

Mourinho has led Chelsea to their first title in 50 years, they are 11 points clear in this season's title race and yet he believes they are still a long way behind Sir Alex Ferguson's achievements at Old Trafford.

United boss Ferguson has enjoyed a glorious era of success with eight titles in 15 years and Mourinho says they must "change the way" fans look at Chelsea if they are to dominate in the same way.

Mourinho said: "The Chelsea project is not about winning one championship, it is about gaining a few more over the next few years.

"Only then can we compare ourselves to what Manchester United have done in the past.

"At this moment we have just one Premiership title, but a very important one because it is the first in 50 years and changes a little bit the way people look at Chelsea, especially the kids.

chelsea will never be good as united:p:D
