    WHAT COLEEN SAID

    Coleen told her camp-mates on the programme: "When we lived in America, we got invited to the White House for Christmas and we went to meet Donald Trump. So we walked in and we got to get like, you know, like the official photograph taken in front of the Christmas tree and stuff. So Donald Trump said to his son: 'See I told ya, all the soccer players get the good looking girls.' I mean well, I told my mum and my mum was like: 'Dirty b*stard!'. He wanted Wayne to go over to teach his son, like, play football with his son."

    Coleen was then asked "Is he that orange?" by camp-mate Danny Jones and replied: "He was very orange."

  • THE GOSSIP

    The Rooneys' Christmas visit was not the only time that Wayne has met with Trump. The Manchester United legend has revealed he once enjoyed a "mad" round of golf with Trump and former Mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, which featured "snipers in the bushes".
