EXCLUSIVE: What REALLY went on in bust-up

Rooney: The truth

By Matthew Acton, Polly Graham & Lewis Panther

RAGING England star Wayne Rooney PUNCHED terrified fiancée Coleen in the chest during their nightclub row last week, the News of the Worldcan reveal today.

The fiery Man United soccer ace violently tore into the crying beauty, screaming "f*** off home" before team-mate Rio Ferdinand pulled him off her.

"There was a lot more to it than just a slap across the face," a pal of the couple told us. "He followed that by punching her in the ribs just below her bust. I saw it happen and it was very nasty.

"The players there have seen him being aggressive on the pitch but never anything like this. It was shocking."

Today we reveal the REAL reason behind the bust-up. And how Rooney and Coleen, 19, have hatched a barmy plan to have a BABY to get their stormy romance back on track.

"They think a baby will take their relationship to another level," said our source. "He wants one as well as her."

We also reveal how tearful 19-year-old Coleen turned to Victoria Beckham (right) for help when the story broke about her fight with Wayne.

Present

"She knew Victoria had been through it all with the Rebecca Loos affair and wanted to know how she should handle the situation," said the pal.

"Victoria told her to make sure she and Wayne were pictured together looking happy at the first opportunity."

Which is exactly what happened when Coleen returned home from a photoshoot in Cyprus, gushing: "I can't wait to get back to Wayne."

But it was the photoshoot that caused the frightening row between them in plush Brasingamens in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, last Sunday night.

Until now it has been reported as a "modelling assignment"—but the News of the World has discovered that Rooney, 19, organised the shoot as a birthday present for Coleen.

He had paid £30,000 for her to stay at the luxury Amathus hotel on the island and be snapped by a top photographer.

Rooney laid on first-class flights, a driver, stylists and hairdresser as part of the carefully prepared prezzie. He plans to adorn the walls of the couple's £4.5 million new home—currently being built in Prestbury, Cheshire—with the photos.

So he was furious when he found Coleen at Brasingamens after she had promised to get an early night before her flight to Cyprus the next morning.

The couple had enjoyed a meal at the £2million home of Rio Ferdinand and his lover Rebecca Ellison in Alderley Edge. Also there were team-mates Wes Brown, with girlfriend Leanne, and Roy Carroll and wife Kerry.

The footballers then decided to visit a few bars as their partners said they were calling it a night and ordering taxis home.

But the girls changed their minds—and when Rooney walked into the nightspot at 10.45pm and spotted Coleen he flew into a violent rage.

"Wayne was stunned. He thought Coleen had gone home and was furious when he saw her having a drink and a laugh with the other girls," said our source.

"He stormed over and demanded to know what she was doing there. He said she should drink up and go. He shouted, ‘Come on, knock it on the head. You've got a plane to catch in the morning'."

Coleen tried to calm furious Wayne—infamous for his on-field four-letter tirades—by telling him she was fine. But he quickly became abusive.

The couple's pal said: "She kept saying, ‘I'm OK. I'm having a good time'. She certainly made no mention about Wayne endangering her health through sleeping with hookers, which is what some papers said."

Rooney then screamed at stunned Coleen to "f*** off home" but she refused. He reached across, grabbed her by the hair and slapped her face. Then came the punch.

"Rio grabbed Wayne, and Wes Brown jumped up and put himself between Wayne and Coleen," said the pal. "She burst into tears and was taken outside by the other girls."

The warring couple went home together. Distressed Coleen flew out to Cyprus the following morning—and immediately called Posh for help.

"Victoria is like the elder stateswoman of the footballers' wives," said the pal. " They are all a little scared of her but also know they can turn to her in times of stress."

Posh told Coleen to do what the Beckhams did after our Rebecca Loos story broke. Victoria made sure she was pictured smiling and joking with shamed husband David the next day at the French ski resort of Courchevel.

Coleen followed suit when she flew home on Thursday, puckering up to Wayne in his BMW after he picked her up from Manchester Airport.

Embrace

Wayne looked uncomfortable and kept his eyes open as Coleen—knowing there were cameras around— threw herself into an embrace with him.

Before that she said: "I'm so in love with Wayne. He's such a talented man, I just can't wait to see him."

And now she can't wait to have a baby with him. Friends say Coleen has been begging Rooney for months to start a family. But the Manchester United and England hitman has always argued he's not ready.

Now Wayne—desperate not to lose his sweetheart—has told her he wants to be a dad, said our source.

The pal said: "They've had a very emotional week and there's been some long and very tearful conversations.

"Wayne's revolted by his behaviour but Coleen's forgiven him. They've talked about where they go from here. They both believe a baby will give them some stability."

But they are not planning to get married. "The baby will come before the wedding," said the pal.

"Neither of them is religious. They can't see the point in marriage just yet. But there will be a wedding one day."
