Wayne Rooney hires Westlife to play at wedding reception

Footballer knows fiancée Coleen McLoughlin is a fan

Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLoughlin are getting married today

Wayne Rooney has forked out a whopping £400,000 for Westlife to play at his wedding reception.

The Manchester United star booked the boyband for fiancée Coleen McLoughlin, who is a big fan.

He's also rumoured to have asked rapper P Diddy to do an exclusive set at the reception at La Cervara, a 700-year-old former abbey near Portofino.

Wayne and Coleen, both 22, have spared no expense for the 4-day extravaganza, which will include a party on a luxury yacht.

They also plan to have a bash in Liverpool after their honeymoon.

'That's when they'll really let their hair down and celebrate being married,' says a pal. 

The pair are getting married today.
