    Now the finishing touches are being applied, Wayne and Coleen jokingly call it a “Mini Versailles” — a reference to the grandiose 17th-century French Palace.
    The Rooneys’ pad may not have the 2,300 rooms of the original but it does come with bespoke furniture throughout.
    It should have been ready at the start of the year but Covid restrictions led to repeated setbacks. A source said Coleen considered moving in early to give the builders “some focus”.
    But they finally finished after a deadline was imposed.

    Wayne and Coleen, both 35, and their four boys now plan to fully move in by the end of the month.
    Builders’ cabins have all been removed and last week the land-scapers arrived to finish off the gardens. The source said: “It’s been a difficult and often frustrating process but it’s all but done and ready to move into.
    “Wayne and Coleen are absolutely thrilled with it.
    “It’s been a long time coming, but the best things come to those who wait. They’ve still got their other house nearby so are gradually moving between both homes until everything is in.”

    The six-bedroom pile sits on a 40-acre plot in Knutsford, Cheshire, and boasts stables, a six-car garage, an orangery and two man-made fishing lakes.
    There is a whisky and cigar room for Wayne, boss of Championship side Derby County, and a football pitch.
    The mansion also boasts a television room, bar, wine store, snooker room, cinema, gym, hot tub, swimming pool, plunge pool and steam room.
    There is also a main entrance hall, study and a library, plus two lifts — one for the family, the other for visitors.

    After an attempted burglary at their home in 2016, builders have created an underground escape route linking the pad to the nearby garage and stable block.
    The ultra-secure tunnel has steel doors at either end. In the event of intruders, it can whisk Wayne, Coleen and sons Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass off to safety.

    Premier League star Ashley Barnes arrested for drink-driving following 4-hour booze up after avoiding relegation

    Barnes then drove in his £55k Mercedes V-Class (stock photo) but was pulled over by police
    But he was then pulled over in his £55,000 Mercedes V-Class people carrier near his home.
    He failed a breath test and was arrested, sparking fury from manager Sean Dyche.
    A source said: “Sean’s a strict disciplinarian and expects a lot from his senior players like Ashley.
    “Several of the players spent about four hours drinking and having a laugh.
    “But what is not funny is getting off the coach and climbing behind the wheel of your car. Ashley is mortified at what he has done.”
    Barnes was an 86th-minute sub in the 2-0 win at Fulham last Monday night, which guaranteed Burnley top-flight football for another season.
    He was then stopped by police close to his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, at 3am on Tuesday.
    Barnes, married to Suzanne, 33, was released on police bail and is set to appear in court on June 14.

    The player, who has made more than 200 appearances for Burnley, also faces a club disciplinary hearing.
    A club spokesman said: “Burnley FC upholds and expects the highest standards of responsible behaviour from all its players and staff.
    “Therefore, while observing the conclusion of legal proceedings, the club will be treating this matter with the utmost seriousness.
    “The player will be subject to internal disciplinary procedures.”
    Two years ago, Barnes told how he was nicknamed “Ash-Cabs” after he and teammate Ashley Westwood bought a minibus to ferry players around.
    He said: “It’s just the standard [Mercedes] Viano. Eight of us jump in most days.
    “You probably don’t get many players car-sharing at most clubs but we’re such a tight group here.”
    Cheshire Police said: “At around 3am on Tuesday, May 11, officers stopped a black Mercedes V220.

    “The driver of the vehicle, a 31-year-old man, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of drink driving.
    “Ashley Luke Barnes, of Wilmslow, was subsequently charged.”

    Will Paris tan Tyson Fury’s hide after his frolics with the suncream babes?

    HIS £200million superfight with Anthony Joshua could be on the verge of collapse but Tyson Fury faces a much bigger battle – the wrath of his missus.Just days after the undefeated, 6ft 9in Gypsy King was pictured being slathered in suntan oil by bikini-clad glamazons, pregnant Paris dropped everything to join him in Miami.

    The move prompted those close to the mother-of-five to speculate about whether she is “marking her turf”.
    A source said: “Paris has stood by Tyson during the most turbulent time possible, but that doesn’t mean she’ll put up with anything.
    “She’s strong-willed, with a mind of her own.
    “It looks like Tyson was just enjoying some light-hearted flirting. But if he crosses the line, he’ll know about it.”
    And in an apparent warning shot, Paris, 31, ditched her wedding ring in snaps posted to Instagram hours after the pictures of her husband’s poolside revelry emerged.

    It led Tyson, 32, to acknowledge he was in her “bad books” — and she was soon booked on a first-class flight with her full Fury brood to join him in Florida.
    Friends insist the couple are now “better than ever” after being reunited in the States.
    As if to prove it, Tyson has bombarded social media with loved-up photos and videos of their time in the US.
    One video, posted on Wednesday, shows them dancing in their swimwear, as the boxer protectively cradles Paris’s baby bump.
    Later that night, fans were treated to footage of the couple smooching in a restaurant.
    One boxing source remarked: “He’d be better off concentrating on his training. It’s a distraction.”
    Pregnant Paris quickly jetted off to join her husband in MiamiCredit: Instagram
    But while the shots of Tyson being oiled up by American beauties might have stung his wife, the couple have overcome far bigger obstacles during their 12-year marriage.
    DRUNKEN BLUR
    Both of Irish traveller descent, they met when Paris was 15, and he a year older, at a mutual friend’s wedding.
    After a chance meeting the next year, they began dating then married in a gypsy wedding at Doncaster’s St Peter-in-Chains Catholic Church in 2009.
    But the religious pair did not sleep together until their wedding night.
    Paris said: “Even after we got engaged, Tyson would sleep in a caravan in the yard of my parents’ home while I slept in the house.”
    Tyson’s career took off early in their marriage.
    In 2015, he pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the sport’s history by beating Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko to win the IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight world titles, then declaring it a “dream come true”.
    Insiders say Paris is ‘marking her turf’Credit: instagram
    But the £4million prize and fame could not mask his torment behind the scenes.
    Tyson fell into a deep depression after bottling up feelings over Paris’s 2014 miscarriage and the death of his uncle Hughie, aged 50, after a blood clot following a routine op led to a cardiac arrest.
    A rematch with Klitschko was cancelled as Tyson failed a drugs test, gave up his titles — now held, as well as the IBO belt, by British rival Joshua — and had his fight licence suspended.
    He heard voices in his head, saw demons, ballooned to 28st on a diet of takeaways and sweets, and unravelled into a drunken blur.
    Paris and Tyson are currently expecting their sixth child
    By 2016, his boozing and cocaine binges threatened to tear apart his marriage.
    Paris admitted it was a “terrible time” watching him “putting his body and himself and his brain through all the torment he was going through in his own head”.
    She revealed: “I wanted to leave, every day. I packed the car and the kids a few times. But I’m like, ‘How can I leave?’ If you truly love someone, you’re not going to leave them to crash and burn.”
    Tyson made a series of ill-advised public outbursts, attacking gay people and Jews, and joking about “slapping bitches”.
    In June 2016, he tested positive for a prescribed steroid and admitted he was taking “lots” of cocaine.
    Fans were concerned when Paris was spotted without her wedding ring hours after the pictures emergedCredit: Instagram / Paris Fury
    He confessed all in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, saying: “The only thing that helps me is when I get drunk out of me mind.
    “I’ve done lots of cocaine. Lots of it. Why shouldn’t I take cocaine? It’s my life, isn’t it? What the f*** has that got to do with anything?
    “I’m as fat as a pig. I don’t even want to wake up. I hope I die every day.”
    His lowest point that year came when he tried to take his own life after he “lost the will to live”.
    ‘LITTLE BIT OF INFIDELITY’
    Climbing into the Ferrari supercar bought with his winnings against Klitschko, he planned to plough it into a motorway bridge.
    He recalled: “I got the car up to 190mph. I didn’t care what anybody was thinking. I didn’t care about hurting my family, friends, anybody.
    “As I was heading towards that bridge I heard a voice say, ‘Don’t do this. Think about your family, your boys and girls growing up with no father, everybody saying their dad was a weak man who left you and took the easy way out’.”
    But the couple have overcome bigger obstacles, including Tyson’s booze and cocaine bingesCredit: Instagram @gypsyking101
    A switch seemingly flicked and Tyson astonished everyone again by getting clean.
    Over the next 12 months, he ditched the cocaine, sobered up, lost ten stone and trained hard to get back to peak fitness.
    Tyson admits that there was “a little bit” of infidelity during those hazy cocaine years, but refused to reveal more.
    While he is now devoted to his family, he admits women hit on him “all the time”.
    He said: “Everywhere I go, and not just because they know who I am.
    “I could go to foreign countries where people don’t know me and they’re still hitting on me.
    Paris stayed with him throughout despite his ‘little bit’ of infidelityCredit: Instagram
    “Because I’m tall, dark and handsome. Good dress sense. In shape. They’re like, ‘Who is this guy? Is he Brad Pitt? George Clooney?’.”
    But he insists Paris need not worry, because after all the “bulls*** I’ve put her through, I’m not going anywhere”.
    The couple, who live in a modest £550,000 home in Morecambe, Lancs, have also differed over raising their children — daughters Venezuela, ten, Valencia, three, and sons Prince John James, eight, Prince Tyson II, four, and Prince Adonis Amaziah, one.
    In 2020’s Channel 5 documentary, Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King, the pair argued about whether they should let their kids go to secondary school.
    Paris said: “I was brought up a traveller and want my kids to be brought up as travellers.
    “They’ll probably leave school at 11 and be educated at home.
    Paris also supported her husband after he tried to take his own lifeCredit: Getty
    “The boys will take a wife and make their family, the girls will take a husband and make their family.”
    But Tyson described parents who do not allow their children to go to school as “dream killers”.
    He said: “Whatever all the kids want to do, I’ll just be happy they are following their dreams.”
    Asked if he would like his sons to follow in his footsteps as boxers, he added: “I would like my children to better that.
    “I would love them to be the first Fury to graduate at university.”
    In February last year, he won the WBC world title from American Deontay Wilder and in August this year, Tyson is scheduled to fight Joshua, 31, for his old titles plus the IBO belt.
    In 2018 Tyson managed to get clean and trained hard to get back to peak fitnessCredit: Getty
    There was concern in March this year when he revealed he was drinking up to a dozen beers a day and had quit training because he was fed up with fights collapsing.
    He said: “I’ve stopped training at the moment — I’m on holiday. I am drinking between eight, ten, 12 pints of lager a day.”
    Now his £200million clash with Joshua is on ice after a US judge ruled that Tyson first owes Wilder a rematch.
    On Instagram, Tyson said Wilder had “asked for $20million [£14million] to move over” and he added: “Looks like I’ll have to crack his skull again.”
    Now he’s set to go head-to-head with Anthony Joshua later this yearCredit: PA

    He went on to trash-talk the Olympian — who he now looks set to fight in Las Vegas this summer.
    Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum said the Joshua fight will be moved to November or December while they “get rid of” the American.
    It’s not the first time Tyson’s life has cut up a little complicated. But once more, the Gypsy King is coming out swinging.

    Tottenham ace Dele Alli spotted snogging Man City manager Pep Guardiola’s daughter

    DELE ALLI has been spotted snogging the daughter of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.The Spurs and England midfielder — who has not scored in the Premier League all season — cosied up with Maria, 20, at a rooftop bar.

    Dele, 25, was closely marking her as dozens of other drinkers looked on in London.
    Fittingly for a player who has spent most of the season as a sub, he made his move on Maria as they sat together on a bench.
    It appeared that he had put his bitter split from model Ruby Mae, 23, behind him.
    He leaned in for a smooch after he and Maria chatted for hours at the capital’s trendy Cloud 9 bar.
    Dele, in a white T-shirt and green baseball cap over his newly dreadlocked hair, hugged and kissed Maria, who was wearing a white hoodie.
    It is understood that Dele first met Maria last month.
    An onlooker told The Sun: “Dele and Maria didn’t seem to have a care in the world.

    “They didn’t mind who saw them as they smooched in front of the DJ booth.
    “It was packed with hundreds of revellers watching on. All the tables had been booked and were completely full.
    “Strangers were wandering past and Dele and Maria didn’t blink an eye.
    “They were in a group together and it was very cosy. They looked so cute and could have been honeymooners.”
    Dele and Maria’s public smooch came last Sunday — a day after Tottenham’s 3-1 Premier League defeat at Leeds United.
    It was very cosy. Dele and Maria looked so cute and could have been honeymooners.
    Maria’s Spanish dad’s Man City side had also suffered a defeat a day earlier against Chelsea — but went on to be declared this season’s Premier League champions.
    A friend told The Sun: “Dele looked smitten and finally over being dumped by his long-term lover Ruby Mae.
    “Dele and Maria are young, free and single. Who knows where it will go from here?”
    Maria has become something of a style icon thanks to her impressive online following

    Maria has told pals about the rooftop encounter with Dele but says they are “just friends”.
    The Sun told how Ruby ended her relationship with Dele after growing tired of his behaviour — including spending hours playing online game Fortnite.
    She has shared repeated public posts with her followers alluding to her joy at finally being free from the footballer.
    Dele has struggled for form this season — prompting speculation that he could be sold to a rival team, possibly Manchester City.
    Meanwhile student Maria, who lives in London, has won an army of online fans. She is a Spanish style icon with snaps of her jetset lifestyle shared on social media.
    She is the eldest of Pep’s three children with businesswoman Cristina Serra.
    The couple met in a shop and dated for 20 years before marrying in 2014 in Matadepera — after their children were born.

    Maria is close to her brother Marius, 18, and sister Valentina, 13, and the family have repeatedly posed together publicly at Pep’s end-of-season trophy celebrations.
    The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has proudly beamed in front of cameras with his arm around Maria.
    Last night, a spokesman for Dele declined to comment.

    “Naturally the day after he was injured everyone was very down — but we decided we had to focus and be positive and think he is going to make it.
    “He is making progress but we have consciously made the decision not to test him out too early.
    “Hopefully we will have good news — but I will give it as long as possible because we know his importance.
    “We have known that for a long time but maybe people appreciate it more when he is not playing.”
