thesun.co.uk:

WAYNE Rooney has opened up about his boozing and marriage regrets on Good Morning Britain. Wayne, 36, today spoke to GMB presenter Ben Shephard in a rare TV interview ahead of the release of a new Amazon documentary about his private life.

The Manchester United and England legend lifts the lid on his mistakes and confesses to going on two-day drinking benders to deal with the pressures of his football career.

He said today: "I'd go home and drink for two days straight. I'd wake up rough, eye drops, chewing gum, mouth wash, try to dust yourself off." The 36-year-old also gave a fresh glimpse inside his 13-year marriage, to Coleen, telling Ben: "I like writing poems and when we'd go to bed I'd leave one on the breakfast table for when she wakes up." He also explained the support Coleen has given him over the years. "The difficult part of it was people were judging Coleen and her decisions.

Does she stay with me does she leave me and I know that was difficult for her," he added. "But as I said before I make mistakes and a lot of people make mistakes and it's recovering from those, that's what shapes you into a better person." @font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.ttf').
