Wayne Rooney’s fiancée has turned down the opportunity for paid work experience at the Crewe Chronicle.
Coleen McLoughlin recently created a stir in media circles by listing her occupation as journalist at Crewe Register Office when she submitted her wedding banns.
The twenty two year old reportedly earns decidedly more than your average hack at around £100,000 for a column in Closer Magazine.
Chronicle news editor Antonia Merola said: "We had to go through her agent – she said thanks for the offer but was really busy with the wedding.
"He's given us some great stories since so it was worthwhile in that sense – it's just a shame about Coleen."
