Wayne Rooney to confess to priest before wedding?

Man Utd star invited to clear his conscience before marriage to Coleen McLoughlin

Wayne Rooney may confess his sins before wedding

Wayne Rooney may confess his sins to a priest before he marries fiancée Coleen McLoughlin in a Catholic ceremony next month.

The couple are due to tie the knot on 14 June, and the 22-year-old Manchester United star will be invited into the confessional box before the service.

In his autobiography Wayne admitted Coleen, 22, was ‘devastated’ when he cheated on her with a prostitute 6 years ago.

Although a pre-wedding confession is not compulsory, it can be seen as 'wiping the slate clean' a church spokesman tells the Sunday People.

The £3 million, four-day bash is thought to be taking place in Genoa, Italy.
