Stage review Rooney bust-up panto doesn't quite ring true

The Legend of Rooney's Ring Royal Court, Liverpool

- Mark Fisher

Sometimes fake news can be fun. Take the time word went around Liverpool that a furious Coleen McLoughlin had taken off Wayne Rooney's engagement ring and thrown it into a bush. The city's detectorists came out in force. The National Trust had to ban treasure seekers from the Formby Point nature reserve for fear the search for the £25,000 ring would disturb the squirrels. The evidence of Coleen being there, let alone discarding the ring, is on the fictional side of flimsy.
