Wayne Rooney’s gal combats stress with £4,000 egg-shaped water pod

England footballer Wayne RooneyLondon, Jan 5: England footballer Wayne Rooney’s fiancée Coleen McLoughlin is so obsessed with a £4,000 egg-shaped water pod that helps combat stress that she has decided to install it in their house in Prestbury, Cheshire.

The floatation tanks, often used by mums-to-be, usually contain 10in of a highly buoyant water-and-salt solution and are dark and silent.

A source revealed that Coleen absolutely loves it and finds peaceful and relaxing.

“Coleen used a floatation tank in a health spa and absolutely loved it,” The Sun quoted a source as saying.

“She thought it was really peaceful and relaxing. Now she is getting one installed in their home so she can use it whenever she is stressed.

"You experience a weightless sensation and it can also help with muscle injuries, so Wayne can use it to ease his aches and strains.

“They are popular with pregnant women, too,” source added.

The source also said that they’ve got so much space in their place that they’re having fun finding things to fill it.

The Manchester United striker is also making a 4million pound recording studio in his house and is taking guitar lessons. (ANI)
