A report from The Guardian — Culture focuses on “Report: The Real Rooneys review – at least Wayne and Coleen’s reality show proves they can laugh at themselves” and sets out the main development contained in the supplied source material.
This trip into the celeb couple’s Cheshire mansion is nowhere as real as they’d like you to believe. The report also notes that But their self-deprecation is hard not to enjoy ‘No one knows the real Rooneys,” states Coleen Rooney at the start of her family’s new reality-TV series, The Real Rooneys. “This is a side of us we’ve never shown ahead of.” Coleen and her husband, ex-footballer Wayne, have had their personalities dissected in the tabloids every week for the past two decades; now we’re promised the truth. But how real can The Real Rooneys be? There are two obvious problems here, the first being that the Rooneys’ lives feel like fiction: he was a generational sporting talent, a one-in-a-million player whose success has bought him and Coleen a ridiculous Cheshire mansion with a cinema, indoor pool and adjacent football pitch. To get back to the road you have to drive over a bridge across a lake. As we join them, Coleen is working out how to capitalise on a recent appearance on I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!, while Wayne is plotting an uptick in his media appearances that he hopes is expected to make him a regular on Match of the Day. Technically, the Rooneys exist on our Earth, but – as they both admit, recalling their working-class childhoods in Croxteth, Liverpool – they have left ordinary life behind.
