Coleen rejects Crewe paper's work offer

A couple of weeks ago Coleen McLoughlin claimed on her wedding banns to be a journalist, prompting me to write a teasing piece. The Crewe Chronicle took that a stage further by offering Wayne Rooney's fiancée a work experience position. But her agent rejected the offer from the Trinity Mirror title that sells 18,000 copies a week. The Chronicle was prepared to pay her - but somewhat less than the £100,000 she earns for her weekly column in Closer magazine.
