[hair spray spraying]
-[producer] Are we rolling, guys? Yeah?
-[crew member] We are.
[producer] So, let's talk about
you going back to work.
It's nice, just having time for me.
[child] Mum.
-Yeah?
-[child] Mum!
I'm in... I'm in the lounge. I'm filming.
-[door opens]
-Sorry. Are you okay?
-[child] What's for dinner?
-[chuckling] Spaghetti Bolognese.
[person] It's a bit sad.
Why didn't he ask
his dad first? [chuckling]
[♪ Upbeat music playing]
-Does anyone like the eggs in these?
-[producer] You don't like the eggs?
Used to put the rings on
when you were younger.
[laughs]
[Coleen] This house is
everything I've dreamed of.
As a little girl, you draw a house
with a door in the middle
and the same both sides.
♪ She lives in a house
A very big house in the country ♪
The only problem is,
we've gotta share it with our four boys.
-[motor revving]
-[laughing]
[child] Yeah!
Gonna blame youse
for the grass when she comes out.
[laughing]
[Coleen] My priority has
always been the kids.
However, since the court case...
[reporter] A social media post
led to a libel trial.
The whole thing was labelled
"Wagatha Christie."
[producer] The "W" word.
Are we legally not allowed to say it?
No, I think you can say it.
-[producer] Wagatha. I've said it.
-[chuckling]
[yelping]
And then the jungle.
The boys know they've been proud
of their dad for so long.
It's my turn now.
It's opened up a lot of doors.
People now know who you are.
Welcome to Primark.
I've put my name to this range.
The nerves are setting in.
-You've got this mob following you about?
-[Coleen] Yeah.
Am I ready for this?
Oh! Something flew off it.
Well, I thought
I just wasn't gonna be on show.
-Paps get to know your schedule.
-[paparazzo] Coleen!
[Coleen] Ah, my zip's gone!
Flippin' hell! Yeah. Right.
But I'm not the only one
whose life's been turned on its head.
Wayne Rooney has been sacked
as manager of Plymouth Argyle.
[analyst] What does he do next?
Does he now retire
and go back and sit on the sofa?
Good boy.
[producer] Was it always part of the plan?
Well, yeah, we spoke about her doing
more work, not about me getting sacked.
This is the first time that I'm probably
not gonna be involved in football,
to experience things I've missed out on.
[groaning]
Did you hurt yourself or?
[chuckling]
It'll be nice to have more time
with the kids.
My dad's scared of Mum.
Mum throws high heels at him.
-Come on, then.
-But it can be chaos.
[kids screaming]
-I just farted on you.
-[laughing]
They just wind each other up.
-[Wayne] Kit, where's the button for this?
-What are you doing?
[Coleen] About petty stuff.
Oh, my gosh...
Who is your favourite son and why?
Youse all have days, different days.
-You haven't had a day for ages, though.
-[laughter]
[Wayne] Why did I have kids?
-[producer] Any more kids planned?
-Who, us?
[scoffs] No chance, I've had the snip.
-[cork pops]
-Oh!
It feels like the start
of a new chapter in our lives.
-[fan] Wayne, can I get a picture?
-We're gonna go in a minute.
He's just drawing too much attention now.
All right, mate, get off
my shoulder then, all right.
Just being normal would be nice,
for one day.
Crossbar.
I don't think there will ever be a point
when he doesn't miss being part
of the game. That's all he's known.
[♪ Dramatic music playing]
[Coleen] With everything going on,
there's a lot of pressure.
-Stop!
-Stop it right now!
Coleen, she needs to deliver.
-[director] Action.
-Your team has been last on the...
[director] Okay, no worries.
In your own time, Coleen.
[Coleen] Ah, get down!
If you fall over there, you're dead.
[child] Grandad!
[Coleen] We're gonna need our family
and friends more than ever.
I've gotta get my leg over.
-You're Wayne's mother-in-law.
-I am, yes. Aren't I lucky? [chuckles]
I feel like I'm a bit propped forward,
like a newsreader.
-Oh, let me take my chewing gum out.
-Hi.
-[chattering]
-[laughing]
You played a round of golf
with Donald Trump?
-Yeah.
-[laughs]
[Coleen] No one can control
the emotions sometimes.
No one can control
what's going on in your head.
It's not like you to feel sad.
Talk to me. What's going on?
It's just a bit hard,
just juggling everything.
Like, the house is not happy.
I try and do it, but, like, it's just...
Yeah. You know, it's just...
Staying up all night with your mate.
Meant to be a family holiday.
You can't just keep doing what you do.
There is times where I think,
is the answer
to see what it's like
if we were separated?
The Doghouse Manual.
I'm on me third book. [chuckles]
I'll have nine nuggets, please,
with curry sauce.
And a Dairy Milk McFlurry.
But then, we still care for each other.
We still have good times.
You know, we still love each other.
[♪ Uplifting music playing]
[exclaims]
[Coleen] This is a huge year
for our family.
Never thought when I was growing up
in Crocky, I'd be dressed as a squid,
having a glass of champagne.
[Coleen] You've gotta guess
what chocolate it is.
[agent] Wayne is on the first steps
of a new, exciting journey.
It's the FA Cup final, mate!
Honest to God, you're Wayne Rooney!
[agent] And Coleen is forging her own way.
-[Dyer] Gonna do some acting in a minute?
-You'll have to show me the ropes.
-Piece of piss, baby.
-[chuckles]
No one knows the real Rooneys.
This is a side of us
we've never shown before.
Hi.
-[Wayne] Whoa!
-[Coleen] Oh. What did you do?
Me skis wouldn't get off the floor,
you knobhead.
We're at a stage now where
we feel like we can open up a bit more,
to show people our lives.
It's a massive deal.
It's a thing that I've always thought
I would never, ever agree to do.
It's big cameras, small cameras.
It's something that we're gonna
have to get used to.
If you look,
this was actually our living room.
It's scary to invite the cameras in.
[producer] Who's more famous, Mum or Dad?
Dad. Mum's getting there, though.
[photographers chattering]
It was my series.
Are you glad that I let you come on?
Oh, here we go. f*cking get over it.
-f*cking hell.
-[laughing]
[horn honking]
[Coleen] Do you wanna go in there
with Kai?
Seat belt.
[Coleen] What are you going on?
Do you wanna go on that one
or on a scooter?
Who you getting in with? Well, I'm...
What am I meant to do, then?
[Wayne] On the bike.
[Coleen] I'm not going on a bike.
I'm not going on a scooter.
[♪ Upbeat music playing]
The thing about life in our family
is nothing's ever simple.
There's four noisy boys,
all big characters,
so not much peace and quiet around here.
-[motor revving]
-Where's Dad?
[horn honking]
[Kai laughing]
-What you laughing at?
-[child 1] Hey!
-[laughing]
-[Kai] Are we going then, or what?
-[child 1] Let's go!
-[child 2] Go, go, go, go, go.
[Coleen exclaiming]
Think I'm too heavy for it. It won't go.
[Coleen] We might live in a massive house.
Whee! Come on, come on.
[Coleen] But at heart,
me and Wayne are just still
a couple of kids from Liverpool.
Watch that water.
[screams, laughs]
Ah, sh*t.
[Coleen] We want our kids to have
the same sense of freedom and fun
we had growing up.
[child exclaiming]
[both laugh]
Whoa!
[Coleen] But I do have
to step in sometimes, though.
-[Kai] Ready? Gonna send you flying off.
-[Coleen] Kai, the grass!
-No, no, no, that's enough now.
-Whoa!
Obviously, they don't
always listen. [chuckling]
[♪ Upbeat music continues]
[child laughing]
Stop it now, stop it.
Few months till he can do his licence.
He'll be banned before he can do it.
Poor grass.
[producer] Take a pew, get comfy.
[grunts]
[producer] These guys are
just gonna set up a little bit.
[crew member] Do a quick
switch around, please.
[Coleen] Watch them mics.
[producer] So, there's a lot of,
sort of, change on the horizon.
Tell me what you want
out of this next coming year.
-What do you want out of this next year?
-[chuckling]
I'll grant you three wishes.
This is a huge year for our family.
There's a lot of change ahead.
In the past, I found it hard to understand
why people are interested in me,
but then, you know,
coming out the jungle, I've been
presented with so many opportunities.
Gave me that little bit of confidence.
[both laughing]
[producer] And what about you?
It's-It's the first time, really,
that probably not gonna be
involved in football.
I'm stepping away, really, from the thing
I've loved doing my whole life, basically.
I know it's not gonna be like
playing f-football, but...
I know.
That's why I need to realistically...
-Get your head around it.
-Yeah.
It's exciting, but also,
it's-it's nerve-racking as well.
This is gonna be the most
we've ever exposed ourselves
and opened the doors to our home.
I'm sure everyone will enjoy it.
If they don't,
then Disney will give you your money back.
[both laughing]
This house is everything that I have
dreamed of from a little girl.
You know, when you are a child
and you draw a house,
everything's symmetrical.
The door in the middle,
and the same both sides.
[Wayne] I only wanted two things in here.
A small little room with no windows.
Not cause I'm a psycho. [laughs]
But if I was playing PlayStation
or watching a movie...
And my snooker table.
I don't really care what else.
It's roasting, by the way, in here.
You know, it's a massive house,
but there's a lot of rooms within
the house, so I do lose my kids. [laughs]
Ever since we built this house,
I've been away working.
[♪ Upbeat music playing]
So, it's great now I've got time
at home with the kids.
It's still mad to me to this day where
we're living now to where we grew up.
Me and Coleen, two kids from Croxteth.
How are we living here?
[Coleen] Even though it's mine
and Wayne's dream home,
everything was planned
around the four kids.
[Coleen] We've got Kai,
who's the eldest. He's 15.
Here you are, Kai.
Van Persie, first-time volley.
The best thing about being back home
is I can do more with the kids.
He's very similar to me. It's like
watching meself with a left foot. Mad.
Kai plays for Manchester United
in the academy,
and he is-he is very driven,
he scores goals, and he wants it.
[coach] Far post. Unlucky.
Keep your head down.
[producer] Who's the best footballer
in the family?
Me. Silly question, that one. Come on.
Kai, don't smash it.
Watch Cole Palmer, what he does.
He just passes it in.
You listening, eh?
Your dad's having a session, I think.
People are always comparing me to my dad.
[Wayne] Crossbar.
You know, the main thing is just having
people remember the name Kai Rooney.
[coach] Oy. Finish.
[Coleen] Kai was our firstborn.
-Spin around.
-[Coleen] Are you spinning around?
He was a really sweet little boy.
And then we had Klay.
[screams]
[♪ Comical music playing]
-Klay's...
-Klay's just, like...
[mumbles]
[laughs]
-[Wayne] How do you start your motorbike?
-[Klay] It's not hard.
-[Wayne] ...pressing this one?
-Get off it.
He's just a happy-go-lucky,
and doesn't like any pressure.
[producer] Klay, does your dad
often go on your bikes?
-Yeah, but he's not good at it.
-[producer] Mmm.
It's got to a point now
where we-we just want 'em to get through
to the end of school.
[♪ Comical music continues]
[producer] Who's more famous, Mum or Dad?
My dad.
I think my mum's only known
'cause of my dad.
[Coleen] You're winding me up.
-Every question, I'm dying to jump in.
-[laughter]
-What's my favourite food? Oh.
-[producer] We can start with that.
Er, a Bourbon.
[laughter]
[Coleen] Kit's nine years old,
and he has got a sensitive side.
Can you see the fly?
But at times, like, he's, like, chill,
and others, he's not.
He can just erupt
and just drop a b*mb in any situation.
[Wayne] Kit, don't hit him.
-[Coleen] He is a live wire.
-[coach] One, two...
-Yeah, he's strong-willed.
-Mum!
[Wayne] Kit is probably the one
who's more all-round like me, I'd say.
[making fart noises]
[chuckles] Kit's a challenge.
-What you doing with that?
-[Kit] I'm fishing.
-What do you mean, fishing?
-[Kit] What are you doing?
This is the trailer, me walking
round the garden with a pool cue.
People will think I've gone crazy.
Hi. I'm Cass.
[♪ Playful music playing]
Cass is the baby of the family.
[burps, vocalises] Excuse me.
-[Coleen] He is funny...
-[Cass exclaims]
[Coleen]... and you can't help but laugh.
He's a really happy little boy,
skips into school every morning,
but I don't know how long
that's gonna last.
No, a nice one, please.
Dead lovin', and a bit of cheekiness
as well at times.
[producer] Do you get on
with your brothers?
-I hate Kit.
-[speaks indistinctly]
[laughing]
[producer] Did you know
you wanted a big family?
-I think I did m-more.
-Yeah, I...
And then, the more we had,
the less I wanted.
-[sighs]
-[laughs]
[♪ Upbeat music playing]
-[Coleen] Cass.
-[Cass] I don't wanna go to school.
[Coleen] Getting four kids
ready for school...
-Oh, sugar, me toast is burning. [laughs]
-[beeping]
It's hectic, it's mad.
-[Kit] Mum!
-[Coleen] Eh, excuse me.
Kai, why you winding him up?
-I wasn't.
-Yeah, you are.
Yeah, it can get really heated at times.
Klay, I think you've got a beard.
[Coleen] Don't, don't, don't,
don't, don't, don't, don't. Klay.
A lot of fighting and screaming.
[yelling] Mom!
[grunting]
[producer] Who's the best footballer
in the family?
-Me.
-Me.
-You look... You retired three times.
-I'm a goalkeeper.
-You were striker.
-I left the club to join the...
-But you were striker!
-I left the...
[both shouting indistinctly]
But recently in our house,
there's been a big change around.
-[Wayne] Morning. Oh, morning.
-[Coleen chuckles]
-Erm...
-[Kai] He's up.
-[Coleen laughing]
-[Kai] He's never up.
[Coleen] I've just burnt the toast.
-Bro's up for the cameras.
-[Coleen laughing]
While Mum's making the breakfast,
Dad'll be asleep.
We don't really see him.
He's hibernating in the morning.
I wonder how he done it
for that many years,
getting up and going to training
every morning.
But it was never early, early starts
with football.
Like school runs.
Since he's lost his job at Plymouth,
I'm getting back to work,
and Wayne's helping out
with the school run.
You'll have to go in five minutes,
you know?
[Wayne] I know,
I'm just making a piece of toast.
[Coleen] Well, you've had loads of time
to make a piece of toast.
[Wayne] She's been there supporting me
throughout my career,
so it's actually nice now I can
support her with what she's doing.
[producer] Was it always part of the plan?
Well, yeah, we spoke about her doing
more work, not about me getting sacked.
[Coleen] Wayne. Wayne.
Klay's forgot his blazer. Wait there.
[chuckling]
All right, see youse later.
There's Cass, look.
Just get in the car.
Why don't we take him?
He's only just learnt
how to ride his bike, so he's made up.
[Cass yelps]
He's nearly gone in there,
look. [chuckles]
[♪ Upbeat music playing]
[Coleen] When we built the house, I said
I wanted a really big dressing room.
But as you build, things change,
so, it's still a big dressing room,
but probably not as big
as I wanted it to be.
So, I've got this,
and Wayne's got a few wardrobes.
[laughs]
Er, he did say, "Can you share?"
I said, "No."
[laughs]
I've always loved clothes.
I was never really...
a little girl who played with dolls.
[kids chattering]
[Coleen] I was more into dressing up.
Coleen's always loved fashion. And if
I couldn't get her something, she'd save.
For, like, Christmas,
I always asked for clothes and not toys.
She's always been fashionable.
Even her glasses, 'cause she had glasses.
But they had to be...
They had to be nice glasses.
[producer] It all looks
very organised, Coleen.
'Cause I'm not opening the doors
of the ones that aren't organised.
I feel like all I've done lately is pack.
Today, I'm off to Dublin
to Primark headquarters
to discuss with them about
creating a women's wear range.
Shoes. Me shoes are downstairs.
It's something that I've always
been passionate about,
so to do it with someone as big
as Primark would be unbelievable.
[♪ Exciting music playing]
[Coleen] I'm taking along our agent,
Paul Stretford,
who's represented us
since we were teenagers.
[Wayne] If a title, it's agent,
but he's more a friend than-than that.
So, yeah, he's-he's been really important
to everything I've done.
At least you did the right thing
and got yourself sacked.
-Yeah.
-[laughing]
When they came together, there was
a massive, massive press interest
in these two young kids, really,
at that stage.
And Coleen was treated as though
she's just someone in the background,
but there is another side to her,
which has come out and flourished.
Welcome to Primark.
When Coleen first
stepped into the public eye,
she was essentially Wayne's girlfriend.
You know, she was a WAG.
She hates that term.
So, let's go in.
[Steph] Now, she is Coleen.
She knows what she wants.
[Coleen] It's so nice to come and see
where everything happens.
Everyone's very excited.
They were all waiting to see you today.
Now, we've told them
to tidy up all around.
We wanna work on something that feels
authentically you, from top to toe.
Coleen's stock is getting stronger
almost by the day.
More and more people are really
understanding what Coleen's about.
That authenticity is just a real,
normal, down-to-earth person.
Your opinion's gonna be
so important in this.
And we want it to stand for Coleen Rooney.
That's what we want it to be about.
Is it just clothing? Or are we...
Or are we gonna do accessories?
No, there's an opportunity for footwear
and accessories in here.
[Coleen] Okay, great.
Hearing the pitch from Primark
really excites me.
They really want me to work with them.
We're currently in 17 markets
and over 460 stores.
Obviously you walk in, you're gonna
see the Coleen Rooney Collection.
I mean, she is a celebrity
at the end of the day,
but what we love about
Coleen is she's so relatable.
And I think that's the key thing
about Coleen,
because she is very much
the Primark woman.
How do you feel about having your face
in the window of every single store?
I'm thinking they'll go in and say,
"Who's she?"
-[all laughing]
-No, they won't.
[Coleen] The deal is bigger
than I thought.
It's to design a full collection.
They work with people like Rita Ora.
But I'm a bit worried about committing
because this isn't just a project
for UK shops.
This collection would go worldwide.
There's a lot of pressure
if I agree to do it.
And the size of the range, what...
what are you thinking?
-Sixty styles.
-Sixty. Sixty to 70 styles.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-That's what we'd be planning.
-That's quite a lot.
-[Mary] No pressure. No pressure.
-[laughter]
[Paul] I can't really say enough how big
and how important this deal is
to the next evolvement of Coleen.
It's as big an opportunity
as we could've got.
The stakes couldn't be higher.
[Coleen] I lack confidence sometimes.
And I do think that comes from
being in the public eye from a young age.
Because I was Wayne's partner.
Maybe that's why I haven't gone on
to do a lot more bigger things before
because I haven't had
that belief in myself.
I want people to see me as me,
to prove a point,
and start believing in... in myself.
But... am I ready to design
a whole range for Primark?
I don't know.
[producer] What's all this?
Erm, just all the trophies,
and England caps and stuff.
Which, obviously,
I've won playing for England.
[producer] How good a player was your dad?
He was all right. Yeah.
[producer] Has he got any trophies?
He's got a few.
[sports announcer]
Seventeen years old, 111 days,
and Wayne Rooney becomes
the youngest player ever
to represent England at senior level.
[Wayne] There's a gold one there,
that's for the hundred caps.
[producer] Do you know
how many goals your dad scored?
Erm, one h... No, 356.
This is for getting
the England goal-scoring record,
breaking Bobby Charlton's record.
[commentator] Fifty up for England, for
England's all-time leading goal scorer.
[Wayne] He presented me with it.
Which is always nice.
It was a special moment, really.
I think it's sometimes forgotten
in this country just how good he was.
A once-generational talent.
He was the best.
[Klay] Oh, he were top drawer, honestly.
-He was top drawer back in the day, mate.
-[both laughing]
The way he got the ball
and travelled with it. He was top drawer.
The power he had at such a young age.
Oh, my word.
He was a player, mate. He was a player.
[Coleen laughing]
Bloody hell, I can't get enough of him.
[producer] Most people watching this,
they're not gonna know
what it's like to score a goal
in front of 80,000 people.
-Take us into that feeling, that...
-[chuckles]
Yeah, it's what...
I get asked this quite a bit.
[crowd cheering]
It's almost like
you're playing underwater.
Just the... the crowds.
You can hear the noise,
but you're not focusing,
you can't hear the details
of everything what's going on
as you're playing.
Erm, and then when you score a goal,
it's like you've come up for a breath.
-[crowd cheering]
-[♪ uplifting music playing]
[Wayne] And then everything erupts.
Just like you're coming
out of the water, and...
You see the emotion
of the fans and the crowds.
You join in with them.
That's the best way, that's the only way
I think I can explain it.
I get asked now, "Why not just retire?"
But I need something to look forward to.
I'm not doing it for money,
I'm doing it for a purpose,
rather than just
being around the house all day.
[♪ Upbeat music playing]
There's a big possibility
I'll never manage again.
So, Paul, me agent,
he's come round just to talk about
what options are there
for me to do moving forward.
[Paul] I think we've got
some great opportunities in front of you.
I don't see any reason...
Can you get me a role
on The Masked Singer?
-Er, you know that we would very much...
-[laughing] I'm only messing.
Like to see you on The Masked Singer
or The Voice.
Yeah. Or Britain's Got Talent.
-Perfect.
-I'd get hammered, like, but...
-Absolutely. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]
Wayne, he would've loved
to go down that musical route.
He loves music.

Even opera.
There's quite a few things
in terms of broadcast.
I've had interest from BBC.
-The FA Cup final on the 17th of May.
-Yep.
My childhood was watching Gladiators and...
Do you remember Jeremy Beadle?
Waiting for Match of the Day,
that was my childhood.
So, to work with the BBC, it's great.
Yeah, no, it'd be good.
I definitely want to be working.
He's on the first steps of a new,
wonderful and exciting journey.
-We've been in discussions with the BBC.
-Yeah.
[Paul] If it goes well at Wembley,
he would have a really good shot
at becoming a full-time pundit
on Match of the Day next season.
So, there's a lot riding on this.
I'll let you make the coffee.
[♪ Upbeat music playing]
[Coleen] I've got a big decision to make.
As much as I would love
to jump at the Primark opportunity,
I don't see myself as a fashion icon.
And I will probably be worried about,
you know, do people like it?
Is it gonna sell
or is it gonna be a big flop?
So, you know what I was saying
about the... clothing range?
I'm nervous just because...
it's quite competitive out there as well,
do you know?
With what I'm looking to put out there.
Yeah.
People try and go over the top
when it's... it's competitive,
and try and do too much.
Sometimes, plain's better.
[chuckling]
[producer] What is Wayne like
with fashion?
Casual, easy-going,
not arsed.
Well, I'd wear a tracksuit
every day, really.
[horn blares]
I don't even know, er, what make this is.
-Steph got me it, didn't she?
-[laughing]
So, I-I... [stammers]
[laughing] Oh, you're very kind, Steph.
Are you doing pyjamas with the...
the clothing range?
Yeah.
Tell them to put pockets in the pyjamas.
Why? Why would you want a pocket?
'Cause pyjamas without pockets
are just stupid.
[chuckling] What do you put
in your pyjama pockets?
Well, whatever you've got on you.
[chuckles]
Pyjamas without pockets are stupid.
All the Christmas ones don't have pockets.
Does me head in.
There's my advice for you.
I'll give your feedback.
However, Wayne might have something
to say about my fashion in the past.
Thank you.
[producer] Got an iPad.
It's the hits and misses.
Yeah, I liked a bit of tan.
It's the hair extensions
that get me on this one.
The National Television Awards.
I'm sure it was from a charity shop.
[♪ lively classical music playing]
[chuckling]
This was my time
when everything was really bright.
I think I was going to an England game.
I wore that so when Wayne looked
in the crowds, he could see me.
[laughing]
He couldn't miss me.
The Pucci wellies.
No. A poncho.
I cringe every time
I see anyone mentions that.
Back in those magazine days,
there was no social media.
Coleen would always be on the front page.
And it would always be her outfits
that were spoken about.
[Colette] Some lovely outfits.
She was known as the queen of Aintree,
I think it was.
But what she got ripped for...
the moon boots.
The yellow moon boots. Yeah.
-[producer] You still got them?
-The moon boots?
No, I don't think... I don't think so.
But that's what the girls were
wearing then. It wasn't just her.
She loves fashion and she loves style.
She even makes a gym kit look like
she's perfectly put it together.
And I think that just comes
quite natural to her.
But I do think Scouse girls dress well.
[Coleen] I'm still in two minds
about committing to the Primark deal.
I mean,
am I ready to do something this big?
Morning.
[Paul] Most important,
how do you feel about it?
[Coleen] It's probably a bit like
going into the jungle.
-Yeah.
-Do you know, I was...
nervous about that whole process
and it being just me.
I think you did say
you wanted a boiler suit in the range.
[both laughing]
But it is...
gonna have to be... something different,
and I don't know, that's the thing.
It's the unknown of what I am...
-Yeah.
-I'm gonna create.
You love fashion, so trust your gut.
And you've got quirkiness in you,
and something that makes you stand out.
[chuckling] Do you think?
-[Steph] I think so.
-[Coleen, Paul laugh]
[Wayne] I've been invited to be part of
the BBC team to cover the FA Cup.
I'll put myself all in to it.
So, yeah, erm, I hope they offer me
a full-time role on Match of the Day.
[producer] It's a suit day, is it?
Yeah, unfortunately. I hate wearing suits.
FA Cup final, funerals and weddings
are probably the only times...
So, I've brought three, actually.
I'll see when I get there
which one to wear.
Or which one fits. [chuckles]
I hate wearing suits.
[crowd chanting indistinctly]
[♪ Dramatic music playing]
[Wayne] The FA Cup, for me,
has always been huge.
I loved playing in it, loved watching it.
Big, old trophy, eh?
Yeah, it's great memories, obviously.
Lifting it here as captain of Man United
was such a special feeling.
Still, to this day,
my biggest day as a fan
was that FA Cup in '95...
[announcer] And Everton have
won the FA Cup.
[Wayne] ...when Everton beat Man United.
[announcer] The FA Cup goes to Everton.
[Wayne] I've always loved the FA Cup
and it's a huge honour to be part
of that BBC team
with Gary Lineker,
and Alan Shearer, and Micah Richards.
-[Micah] All right, wagwan! [laughs]
-[Wayne] You k*ll me as well.
-What? Why? What's up?
-Your tie.
Because I was going to go nice and casual,
and they said, "Micah's wearing a suit."
It's the FA Cup final, mate.
-Honest to God. You're Wayne Rooney!
-[laughter]
What suit have you got today?
Have you gone Primark?
-Have you gone Asda?
-I've got, erm...
-I've got three in there.
-Have you?
-I don't know which one fits.
-[laughter]
[Paul] The people that have
been on Match of the Day,
stellar names, iconic names.
-[laughter]
-And they're not even joking.
Wayne's challenge is, "Can I be as good
as them? Can I be the next one?"
[Alan] Tough one to call today, man.
[Wayne] I still think City will
have too much.
[Alan] Only because of their experience,
I think, but...
I think they're a decent team, Palace.
Unbelievable energy.
But it is a very competitive space,
so you have to deliver.
At 1:30, you two together with Chapman.
-Is it radio?
-Yeah, it's radio.
-So, I don't have to be changed?
-Nah, nah.
Well, it is being filmed.
Yes, of course there's jeopardy.
Social media now has a big voice.
We're live on 5 Live. You can also
watch us on the BBC Sport website.
There'll be a lot looking to see
if he fails, or makes a mistake.
Working for the FA at the time
was an ex-City guy,
and they gave me a two-game ban,
and the second game
was against Man City in the semi-final.
City cheating again, look.
[Mark, Micah exclaiming, laughing]
[Micah] Wayne, you can't say that!
And that's what they haven't done as yet,
and they'd deny that, Wayne, as we...
-Jokes.
-as we bring you...
Bring you into broadcasting,
and I get you off any libel charges...
[both laughing]
[Wayne] I said about City cheating again.
Chappers thought it was...
-Chappers got you out of it, I hope.
-Waved it off, yeah.
[laughing]
[Paul] I'm not really worried about him
going into the world of punditry,
'cause I do know
that Wayne will be himself,
and he'll give honest opinions.
[Guy Mowbray]
get the FA Cup final started.
Muñoz across! Oh, Palace in front!
Crystal Palace one, Manchester City nil.
[Wayne] I never thought I'd be a pundit,
but when you go into something,
you wanna be the best you can be.
If not, there's no point in doing it.
But there's pressure when you're
speaking your mind to millions of people.
-[Guy] Is this handball?
-[Alan] Yeah, he does, he flicks it away.
[Guy] It is being looked at by VAR.
[Wayne] What you really want is,
if you're with a group of mates
watching the game,
and you're chatting about it,
that's how you really
want the fans to feel.
[Wayne] Just get rid of VAR. I...
[all laughing]
They've made a mistake,
so now they're trying to cover up
for their mate out there.
It's a red card.
Everyone can see it's a red card.
-[Guy] City howl for a penalty!
-[whistle blows]
[Guy] And Erling Haaland
gives the ball a little kiss
before presenting it to somebody else.
I'd like to feel that I'd be someone
who's honest with my opinions,
and not someone who's just
gonna agree with everything.
But you can't override the manager.
If the manager says he's on penalties,
there's nothing...
I think there's moments you can.
[Guy] Saved by Henderson brilliantly!
[♪ Upbeat music playing]
[Guy] There we go, ten minutes.
It's greeted by cheers
from the City section.
[Wayne] Where have they got
ten minutes from?
I told you.
You've accused City of corruption.
You've said VAR is sh*t.
What you got next?
I like it.
[Coleen] It was great to see Wayne
on the FA Cup coverage.
I think, you know,
the FA Cup is a massive thing to do.
He done a really good job.
I feel like he's finding his feet
and he's getting more confident.
I liked him on Saturday,
because he hasn't yet been polluted
by the art of saying nothing.
He had a view and he voiced it.
I think he was articulate, and he gave you
some insight as to his thinking,
and too many people in the media
don't give you any insight.
[Paul] Wayne has actually
managed to debunk the idea
that people think he's uneducated.
That he wouldn't have the intelligence
to analyse something
and be able to then communicate it
in a way that everyone understands.
The BBC team, from the reviews
and everything what they said,
they were pleased.
-[laughing]
-It's a long story, Wayne.
[laughing, chattering]
Because of his performance
in that FA Cup final,
we've managed to land the BBC
Match of the Day contract.
-[commentator 1] What a great goal!
-[commentator 2] Rooney!
There is a big change
to the show this season,
and that is Wayne Rooney has
joined us as a regular pundit.
I'm doing me job.
I'm entertaining the country.
[Coleen] We've just landed in Dublin,
and I am off to Primark.
So it's a big decision.
It's whether I am gonna
be all in and committed.
Cheers.
-Hiya.
-Hi, Mary. How are you?
You okay? Yeah, good. Hi.
[Steve] Colleen, can I ask you
what you think about a potential
future collaboration with Primark?
Fashion is something
that I've touched on in the past,
and it's something
that I really enjoyed when I did do it.
But I wouldn't put myself
in a position where I was, you know,
not-not me.
I would like to stay true to myself,
and I would like a collection
that would represent me.
A collection that I would wear, you know?
So, you know, stay true to myself.
I think...
Primark...
does represent me and my ways a lot.
But also everyone around me.
You know, so, like, my family,
everyone, my friends.
Everyone I know, you know,
goes to Primark.
And that's-that's what we'd want.
You know, we wouldn't ever want a range
where you don't relate to it.
It's got to be about you,
otherwise there's no point doing it.
I'm chuffed to bits.
Coleen has effectively signed
on the bottom line.
She's in, we're in, and I'm really,
really excited about this range.
I think it's absolutely
the right home for Coleen,
having listened to what
she's had to say tonight.
-[Coleen] Right.
-[Paul] We are in the right place.
So, we will definitely like to work
-with Primark.
-[Steve] That's great.
[all] Cheers.
-Let's get pissed!
-[laughter]
[all chattering, laughing]
-My mum will be happy with this one. Yeah.
-Oh, yeah.
I've decided to say yeah.
I can't miss this opportunity.
[producer] And your mum,
who's she been designing for?
-I... Is it IKEA?
-[Coleen laughing] IKEA?
No, is it? I'm being serious.
I'm... you know, I'm proud of her.
It takes a lot to, like,
make me proud as well.
My stuff would be better, though.
-Are you ready to have some fun...
-Yes. Yeah.
-Making fashion?
-I'm excited.
It's her time now. She's not holding back.
[designer] I really want to
just get inside your brain,
'cause I think the whole thing
will start with fabric and colour.
-Yeah. I think... Definitely a blue stripe.
-Okay.
It's always been about Wayne.
And this quality material,
would that be in the price range for...
Oh, 100%. Everything you see here.
-'Cause that feels really expensive.
-It does. It feels premium.
It's about time
that those tables turned a bit,
and Mum can be the superstar that she is.
-This has been really helpful.
-Yeah, no, it has for me as well.
When you come back over, we'll have
samples that you can go, "Ooh, ooh,"
-and you'll start to build a range.
-Yeah.
-So, that's where the fun starts. Yeah?
-Okay. Great.
[Coleen] For me, this is probably
one of the biggest things I've done.
It feels like
we're on the edge of a new life,
and it's exciting.
Perfect timing as well.
[Coleen] But now I've committed
to Primark...
[Wayne] The Chase is on.
[Coleen] ...I really need Wayne to help
a lot more around the house.
It could cause a few arguments,
yeah. [laughing]
[Coleen's father]
Bloody hell. Five seconds!
[Coleen] Klay!
Where's Dad? Is he not getting up?
Wayne's in bed. Yeah.
So he's still in bed.
[Wayne] Sorry, I'm late.
[Coleen] That pissed me off.
Well, we haven't spoken for four days,
have we?
[Coleen] I'm hoping a break
will help us reconnect.
The beautiful part of this is if you need
a bit of time away from each other,
if you want five minutes peace...
-Oh, we'll need that. Yeah.
-We definitely do.
Smells like Germolene.
-[coughs]
-I don't know. Do you get what I mean?
Oh, I don't like that one.
That's if I don't k*ll him first.
-[shoots]
-[Paul] I'm sure she thinks, "Oh, my God."
Klay! Stop it.
"This is not how I imagined it."
[crowd chanting] Rooney! Rooney!
I organise mostly everything.
You are doing my head in a bit, like.
It's impossible at times.
[chuckling] The Doghouse Manual.
I'm on... I'm on me third book. [chuckles]
