The mystery brunette in a car with Wayne Rooney when he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence has spoken about a “mad 10 hours” with the footballer. The 29-year-old woman, Laura Simpson, has told about an apparent 10-hour prosecco and vodka-drinking session leading up to the Everton striker being pulled over by police.

“It’s been a mad 10 hours,” she is quoted telling The Sun.

It was revealed Rooney was arrested in the early hours of Friday morning and charged for drink driving after being stopped driving the woman’s VW Beetle.

It later emerged that he was driving a woman, now revealed to be Simpson, home in her car because she was not in a fit state to get behind the wheel.

Simpson, a lettings officer, said Rooney was ‘p***ed off’ and ‘really worried’ when police pulled them over – though admitted she didn’t recall where they were at the time.

She told The Sun: “I didn’t know what to make of it, it all happened so fast. It was a whirlwind. I don’t know if it’s because I was that drunk but he didn’t seem that drunk to me.”

Rooney’s wife Coleen was abroad on holiday but is believed to have flown home in the wake of her husband’s latest scandal.

Rooney, 31, was pulled over by police in the black vehicle at 2am on Friday morning in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

He was taken to a police station in Middlewich where he was quizzed by officers and later charged.

Rooney was picked up by agent Paul Stretford from the Middlewich Custody Suite, Cheshire, in a black Range Rover on Friday, having spent several hours in custody.

He was released on bail and is due to appear at Stockport Magistrates’ Court on September 18 – the day after his first return to Old Trafford since his Manchester United departure.

The Everton striker lives a few miles away in a £6million home in Prestbury, where he, wife Coleen and his children have been for the last 12 years.
