Coleen Rooney 'loves being a mum'

TV host Coleen Rooney, who gave birth to her first child recently, has said it is exhausting to be a mother.

The 23-year-old had a son with England footballer Wayne Rooney and spoke about her new role as a mother on her first night out since the birth two weeks ago.

"I love being a mum to Kai, he is absolutely gorgeous. But I'm knackered all the time at the moment."

"I'm lucky because Wayne is so good with him and my mum's been helping out loads," she said.

Coleen's parents were baby-sitting for her while she attended a friend's birthday celebration in Liverpool.

She said she was missing her son, and added: "It's the first time I've left him alone for this length of time but I know he's in good hands."

Before their son was born, the couple turned down a £1 million deal for photographs of the baby.
