Wayne & Coleen Rooney on 18 Years Together, Family & The Truth About Abbey’s Past!

Welcome back to a very special episode of The Therapy Crouch!

This week, Abbey and Peter are joined by the iconic Coleen and Wayne Rooney! From growing up together in Liverpool and navigating massive media storms as teenagers, to raising four football-mad boys and filming their brand-new Disney+ series The Real Rooneys, Wayne and Coleen hold nothing back.

Wayne opens up about the emotional wobble of stepping away from management, why he snubbed Washington DC (and stole Pete’s transfer!), and getting lost in disguise at Glastonbury. Plus, childhood secrets are revealed, including the time Wayne threw a McDonald's milkshake at Abbey and the gang help a listener facing a safeguarding crisis over a rogue nursery game of "The Shabba"!
