Coleen Rooney – Girls come first

When it came to choosing between supporting her husband’s England team last night, or going to see Cheryl Cole perform with the Black Eyed Peas there was no contest.

New mother Coleen, 24, ditched her WAG duties and headed out to see her friend at the MEN Arena in a two-tiered white dress.

She added Christian Louboutin heels and teamed her ensemble with a pair of very weighty-looking earrings as she was joined by her friends.

As she watched Cheryl belt out songs from her album 3 Words, followed by the main act – U.S. group the Black Eye Peas – Wayne was at Wembley helping England defeat  Mexico in a pre-World Cup friendly.

Following her stint on stage, Cheryl was seen leaving the MEN Arena via a back door, wearing a pair of pink frame sunglasses.

She has been supporting the Black Eyed Peas throughout the European leg of their world tour, which makes its way back to London for two nights on Thursday.

Coleen, who gave birth to baby Kai in November, recently revealed she had been in touch with Cheryl since her split from Chelsea player husband Ashley Cole.

She said last month: ‘I do keep in touch with Cheryl. Occasionally we will drop each other a text. Cheryl is just so nice and doing so well.’

Coleen would have danced off a little more of the baby weight that she admits she’s still carrying, but she insists she is in no rush to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.

‘I’ve still got a bit of a belly,’ she added. ‘It’s getting there, but you can’t do it too fast and to be honest I’m not too bothered about it as that’s part and parcel of pregnancy.’
