Coleen Rooney has been mobbed by anti-fur protestors after leaving a fashion show in Liverpool.

The WAG attended the Cricket Fashion Show, but had to face a group of animal activists brandishing placards calling for a boycott on fur clothing items.

According to Metro, the protesters were upset with the venue for selling fur at the annual fashion event, however they have not had it in its collection since 2006.

The protestors also allegedly took issue with comments Rooney made in a 2005 interview with Closer.

"Rabbits get killed for food, so why waste the skins?" she reportedly said.
