Celebrity fan Piers Morgan reveals drunken episode with Man Utd's Rooney

Celebrity media boffin Piers Morgan has spoken of his friendship with Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.

Morgan claims he once saw Rooney fall over into a plant pot when he was drunk.

"He's an absolutely hilarious character and he likes a drink," Morgan told the Clare Balding show. "So we had a few drinks, and we had a few more drinks.

"We get to about 11.30pm, and he gets to go up to leave and trips backwards into a large olive tree pot.

"And he's lying, trapped in this pot, and Coleen just looked down at him and went 'for God's sake Wayne, let's get you home'.

"So I assumed he was going home, then I woke up in the morning and checked my Twitter feed and there was one from Coleen, from 5am, from Bababoom nightclub in West Hollywood saying "having a great time with Wayne". So they party those two."
