Woman with Wayne Rooney during drink-driving incident speaks out

The woman who was with Wayne Rooney at the time of his arrest for drink driving has shared her side of the story.

The ex-England footballer was driving a car belonging to Laura Simpson when he was pulled over early on Friday morning. She said she had met him during a night out in Cheshire on Thursday. "He kept admiring my clingy top and asking what size they were, saying 'Are they real?' We had a kiss, a hug and some banter, harmless fun. I'm not a marriage wrecker," she told The Daily Mail. She and Wayne left a nightclub together and got into her car, which he was driving.

"I felt safe with Wayne, his driving was OK. We were on the road for 10-15 minutes and then we thought we saw flashing police lights so Wayne slowed down, he wasn't speeding, and stopped at the side of the road."

"There were two officers, I think and Wayne looked really worried. He turned and said to me 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you'll be OK, I'm getting out of here'."

"On reflection he was foolish for driving me car if he was over the limit, it was silly."
