Coleen Rooney hits back at mum-shamers as they slammed the WAG for taking her young sons to an Oasis concert in a now deleted post
The WAG, 39, shared a sweet photo of her boys, Kit, nine, Klay, 12, Cass, seven, and husband Wayne, watching from a VIP box at Wembley Stadium. The couple's oldest son Kai, 15, wasn't pictured in attendance.
Despite enjoying an 'unbelieveable' night at the gig watching Liam and Noel Gallagher, one fan slammed the I'm A Celebrity star and England football legend for taking their children.
They wrote: 'Definitely something you should have done on your own. The kids being there is ridiculous. So many die-hard fans couldn't get tickets, and they wouldn't know them if they fell over them.'
Coleen quickly hit back in a now deleted post, by resharing the follower's negative comment at 12:30am and wrote: 'He's a big fan' followed by a laughing emoji.
Thousands of fans waited for hours in virtual queues to get their hands on highly coveted tickets for the band's reunion shows, however not everyone was successful.
It comes after Coleen had the time of her life at Together Again Festival last month.
The ITV star, who has previously revealed her down to earth holiday tastes with Butlin's a firm family favourite, and three of her children joined the crowd at the event held at Bolesworth Castle in Cheshire.
The family enjoyed performances from Olly Murs, Jamie Webster and Dizzee Rascal, with Coleen seen singing away in the audience.
Sharing a series of photos to Instagram, she gave an insight into their festival fun, where weekend tickets cost £199, and joined Jamie for photos backstage.
She wrote: 'Thank you for looking after us Together Again Fest… fantastic set up!!
'And thanks for the photos and lovely to finally meet you Jamie Webster…. Kids had a ball.
Elsewhere, Coleen's earnings have soared amid her huge TV projects as she looks set to become her family's 'main breadwinner '.
The WAG reportedly boasts a net worth of £15million, with her hubby thought to be worth an enormous £170million thanks to his Premier League footballing days.
But in the new phase of their lives, Coleen could be set to take over as the main breadwinner as her popularity soars.

Amid her skyrocketing fame following her hugely successful I'm A Celeb stint, Disney announced on Monday a new premium access series titled The Rooneys focusing on her and Wayne's life.
Thanks to her ventures, new figures for her firm, CWR 2021, up to September 2024 show the booming business already had £580,000 banked - and that was before I'm A Celeb and her Disney deal.
Meanwhile former manager of Plymouth Arsenal Wayne was reportedly making £500,000, before leaving the club in December.
A financial expert told The Sun: 'These earnings show that, even before Coleen signed up for I'm A Celeb, she was already bringing in more money than Wayne.
'On the back of her jungle stint, where she was incredibly popular with the viewing public, she's now likely to see her earnings soar even further - and the increased interest in Coleen after she did so well on the show is also likely to have sealed the deal on the Disney contract.'
They added: 'Getting big bucks from a global streamer, plus her pay cheque from ITV, will no doubt swell the Rooneys coffers even further.'
MailOnline has contacted Coleen's representatives for comment.
In March, Coleen revealed that she has eclipsed Wayne in popularity after starring on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Coleen took part on last year's series of the ITV show where she finished as runner up to McFlyn's Danny Jones after winning over a huge number of fans.
And the mother-of-four has explained that she now gets even more attention in public than her famous footballer husband.
Speaking to The Mirror at an event in Manchester, Coleen admitted she was humbled by the 'positivity' of people coming up to chat to her about her time in the jungle.
She said: 'I didn't realise how big the audience was. I get parents come up to me saying "aw, we got our family back together on the couch to watch it" and that's lovely to hear.'
Not being able to resist making a brutal dig at her husband, she then joked: 'Even on school runs, Wayne has passed his sell by date so no one has got a clue [about him] But then all of a sudden we get kids going "oh Coleen Rooney!"'
Speaking of her popularity, Disney announced on Monday that a new premium access series titled The Rooneys is set to air, and filming is already underway.
The ten part doc-series will delve into the footballer and WAG's lives 'like we've never seen them before'.
It is set to see Coleen tackle 'new entrepreneurial endeavours' and Wayne stepping away from the football pitch to do school runs.
The new show has 'unprecedented access' into their world and dives into their everyday life, including highs like holidays and celebrations as well as the lows.

Culloden cannonball sells for almost £19,000 at auction
A cannonball recovered from the battlefield at Culloden has sold for almost £19,000 at auction. The cannonball, engraved with the words 'Ogilvy Culloden 16 April 1746', had been expected to sell for between £3,000 and £5,000. However, it fetched £18,900 when it went under the hammer in Edinburgh on Wednesday at Lyon & Turnbull's Scotland Collected sale. A gown, reputedly worn at the Palace of Holyroodhouse by an 18th century Scottish noblewoman closely allied to the Jacobite cause, sold for £20,160, almost double the estimated price. The dress was one of more than 80 lots of Property from the Earls of Airlie, belonging to the Ogilvy family, which featured in the sale. Lyon & Turnbull's John Mackie, who is head of sale for Scotland Collected, said: 'It was an honour to handle these items which have a direct link to such an important part of Scotland's history. 'These pieces which sold today stood out in terms of both provenance and condition and so it was no surprise that there was such a great deal of interest leading up to the sale. 'The Airlie Collection featured objects with a link to well-known Scottish figures which heightened the appeal to buyers at home and abroad.' The prices include buyer's premium. The Battle of Culloden on April 16 1746 saw about 1,600 men killed in less than an hour and marked the end of the 1745 Jacobite rising. The iron cannonball sold in the auction has a silver collar with moulded rim where the words 'Ogilvy Culloden 16th April 1746' are engraved. The brocaded dress, originally estimated to fetch between £8,000 and £12,000, was reputedly worn by Lady Margaret Ogilvy, wife of David Ogilvy, 6th Earl of Airlie, when they attended a ball hosted by Prince Charles Edward Stuart, more commonly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in 1745. Lady Margaret's gown has been on long-term loan to the Royal Collection at the Palace of Holyrood for the last 100 years and was most recently on display in the Queen's Lobby, next to the Great Gallery at Holyrood Palace.

Hotel Chocolat velvetiser 2.0 is available to pre-order with a major change
Hotel Chocolat all-new velvetiser design Setting up the all-new velvetiser was easy. The machine itself is already assembled and just needs to be settled onto its base, plugged in, and you're good to go. Following the instructions, I did a quick wash with some washing up liquid and the hot mode, and got to pouring in my first drink. The dial lights up blue for cold, and red for hot – it couldn't be simpler. The all-new velvetiser is a complete system for hot and cold barista-grade drinking chocolate. The original couldn't make cold drinks, only hot drinks. As I've had many hot chocolates from a velvetiser over the years, I was particularly intrigued as to whether the cold option would produce such velvety goodness. Chocolate flakes melt down and whisk into the milk when it comes to the hot option, but as chocolate flakes won't totally dissolve in cold milk, the machine had to have a way to combine the chocolate and milk elements and deliver a smooth finish. But the all-new velvetiser has a new whisk, designed for a vortex effect. This creates the beautiful chocolate creama (the froth that rests on top of the drink). It does this by cutting through the liquid to create ultra-fine passages of air. The whisk has also been beautifully designed to resemble petals of the cacao flower. While the hot option warms the milk, the cold option pulses at the start to meld the chocolate. You'll see from the photos that the creama is magically created on both the hot and cold drinking chocolates, and there's not a speck of that horrible gunky foam that you get with some drinking chocolates in sight. In terms of the external appearance, it's totally gorgeous. Its fluted design was modelled after the shape of a cacao pod, and finished with a solid ash handle, which is incredibly ergonomic and easy to handle. The all-new velvetiser comes with one podcup, one podglass, and a selection box of drinking chocolates. There are three new colourways – white, taupe and silver. Packing it down was just as simple as setup. I did the same washing up liquid clean that I did before its first use, and then gave it a little wipe out, and it looked as though it had never been touched. However, it's not dishwasher safe, which is a little inconvenient. It's also worth noting that it's one of the quietest kitchen appliances that I've ever used. I had to check it was actually working the first time I used it, because it made virtually no noise. And, it took less than two minutes to whip up a ready-to-go drinking chocolate. Hotel Chocolat all-new velvetiser flavour The standout feature of Hotel Chocolat velvetiser drinks is the texture. It's the only justification for such an expensive appliance, making for a thick, smooth drink that you simply cannot match in a microwave or on a hob. I had no idea that hot chocolate could even have crema before I began this testing process, but now I can't drink a hot chocolate without looking out for that velvety layer of foam. It's a perfect, silky first sip. The rest of the drinking chocolate is just as smooth, whether you're opting for hot or cold velvetiser drinking chocolate, although the hot feels a little thicker. Another thing I love about Hotel Chocolat's velvetiser hot chocolates is that you can play around until you find your perfect flavour. Even when it comes to a plain chocolate blend, you can choose from milky, classic dark, 100 per cent dark, and white chocolate options. With the option to buy selection boxes, like the everything hot chocolate sachet selection (£15.95, you can flick through and mix things up. While I'd usually associate drinking chocolate with colder weather and the lead up to a cosy Christmas, my Hotel Chocolat all-new velvetiser has come at the perfect time. In the peak of summer, amidst heatwaves that keep popping up, an ice cold glass of chocolate milk hits the spot. When the weather has gotten particularly hot, like the unbearable temps of 30C this week, I've prepared my cold drinking chocolate and poured it over a glass of crushed ice, before topping with a small scoop of ice cream for a chocolatey float-type glass of heaven. The all-new velvetiser brings six new cold drinking chocolate flavours: Crème brûlée: I didn't expect to like this flavour; before tasting it, I thought that it would be too sickly. However, it came out on top as my favourite pick of the new cold flavours. Its notes of burnt caramel work well with the creamy vanilla and make it incredibly moreish. Though I thought it would be too rich or heavy, it's anything but – it was perfect with a few chocolate batons on the side. Cherry: Tart and creamy at the same time, this was a huge hit in my house. It has a tartness that's noticeable enough to cut through the richness of the chocolate, but it is still sweet. When mixed with the creaminess of the milk, it tastes like a drinkable Christmas dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. Mandarin and orange: There will never be a day when I don't love something that mixes chocolate and orange flavours – it's an elite combo. With the addition of mandarin, it mellows it out slightly and makes it a little less sweet, but never bitter. It's just a shame you can't buy it in the hot option. Mint: Peppermint and chocolate heaven – another that's reminiscent of delicious Christmas flavours. In its colder form, the mint drinking chocolate is more potent and intense, and is a very refreshing way to drink chocolate, especially in summer. Banana: While banana isn't a flavour I'd pick in any form, my partner chose this as his favourite because of its nostalgic flavour. The blend mixes banana and chocolate with a slightly bitter molasses, which reminded me of a banana split – I recommend adding some whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry on top. Classic: The classic cold version of the ever-popular hot drinking chocolate. You can't go wrong with this option, it's creamy, rich and super indulgent without being too overpowering. I'm definitely more inclined to go for a milky 50 per cent option, as it's slightly less rich, so I added a dash of cream when I poured my drinking chocolate into the glass. The selection box also comes with a variety of hot chocolate options, which have been selected from Hotel Chocolat's velvetiser library – Classic 70 per cent, milky 50 per cent, salted caramel, vanilla-white, which is insanely delicious, and black forest gateau (which is a lot like the cherry, but slightly more creamy).

Culture minister says ‘biggest anxiety' is public service broadcasters' budgets
Culture minister Sir Chris Bryant has said his 'biggest anxiety' when it comes to the British TV industry is the reduced budgets of public service broadcasters (PSBs). The commissioning budgets of PSBs have been 'squeezed by the real-terms reduction of the BBC licence fee', as well as a reduction in advertising revenue, according to a report from the Culture, Media and Sport (CMS) Committee published earlier in the year. The MP also spoke about the Government's rejection of a streamer levy, after the report called for platforms, such as Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+ and Disney+, to commit to paying 5% of their UK subscriber revenue into a cultural fund which would help PSBs through financing drama with a specific interest to British audiences. Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, he said: 'We want to get a mixed economy. I love the fact that the streamers and big Hollywood houses make lots of shows in the UK … I want to mix it, to be making our own stuff.' Speaking about the importance of 'a mixed economy', he said: 'Film and TV, and high-end television in particular is fundamentally an international thing. 'I think that some politicians in the world don't seem to fully understand us, but one of the things I've been trying to achieve in the UK is, yes, it's great that the streamers do make fabulous stuff here, and lots of wonderful films made here. ' Tom Cruise is probably one of the biggest investors in the UK economy over the last decade. Brilliant. 'I really want to celebrate that, but I don't want everything that is made in the UK, all the IP (intellectual property), simply to go back to the West Coast of the United States of America. 'I'd like us to have some IP that remains here so that we can continue making investments and have strong UK production companies, which also make stuff which maybe sometimes is specifically made for a UK audience as well as for a wider audience. 'So I've been trying to make that mixed economy.' Cruise's blockbuster Mission Impossible films, particularly recent instalments, have frequently filmed in the UK, with locations including London, Derbyshire and the Lake District. Sir Chris added: 'My biggest anxiety is the state of public service broadcasting budgets, and if they haven't got any funding, they're not going to be making any progress.' After the report into British film and high-end television, chairwoman of the CMS committee, Dame Caroline Dinenage, said 'there will be countless distinctly British stories that never make it to our screens' unless the Government intervenes to 'rebalance the playing field' between streamers and public service broadcasters (PSBs).
