Wayne Rooney sang with boyband Westlife at his wedding reception in Italy.

The England footballer, who married long-term girlfriend Coleen McLoughlin this week, gave a "note-perfect rendition" of 'Swear It Again' with the Irish group.

A source told The Mirror: "The boys were stunned - they could not believe it. Wayne hadn't practised with them but must have practised somewhere.

"He is a brilliant singer and it was a moment that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up."

According to the source, Rooney's romantic gesture allegedly made his new bride cry: "Some guests said it was the most romantic thing they'd ever seen. Coleen was not the only one in tears. It was the perfect end to the perfect day."
