Wayne Rooney was shielded from female fans throughout his stag week in Ibiza.

The Manchester United footballer celebrated his last days of freedom with friends during a £250,000 break on the island this week. He was also accompanied by a number of minders, who were keen to avoid accusations that Wayne was enjoying female attention during his time away.

A friend of Rooney told The Mirror: "We've been roped off in VIP areas where Wayne's security have completely banned girls. They can't let any girls anywhere near him in case someone takes a photograph."

The source added: "He can't be seen talking to other girls in case it's taken the wrong way, but he's not soft enough to fall for any nonsense. The eyes of the world are on him - that's just the life he leads."

Rooney will marry his childhood sweetheart Coleen McLoughlin in Cheshire next week.
