Wayne Rooney has blasted speculation he has been using a weight-loss pen to shed pounds.
The former pro footballer, 40, insisted he has been "working really hard to lose weight" recently, and says he hasn't turned to medication to achieve his physical transformation.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: "Apparently I've seen recently I've been taking this pen thing about me.
"It's a shame, because I'm working really hard to lose weight. Apparently I've been on the pen.'
Wayne's wife, Coleen Rooney, said: "I thought you were gonna say then, my nose wasn't a cosmetic job, it was a medical job!"
The former England star recently admitted he went under the knife to fix his nose after previously breaking it twice during his career.
And Coleen has confirmed she persuaded Wayne to have the operation, partly to improve his snoring.
She said: "I tried to get him to do it because of his snoring."
Wayne explained: "I couldn't blow one side out of my nose and so I had it fixed."
Like Wayne, Coleen told how she also works hard to maintain her weight.
She explained: "It's one of those things, I have to go to the gym to maintain because I'm only short, I want to enjoy my food.
"If I don't work at it I will put weight on and so that's something I have to do for myself, and to feel good, so I do go to Pilates.
"I enjoy it and for now for me to just focus on something else, that's always been part of my routine."
Earlier this month, Wayne admitted his marriage with Coleen - who he wed in 2008, after six years of dating - is "not always easy".
As quoted by Closer magazine, Wayne said: "There's times we've been arguing, and I think that's important to put in. In truth, behind closed doors, it's not perfect.
"There are issues, which any married couple has to deal with, and this shows only a small percentage of what we're like.
"We have arguments, we have good times. It's our married life with four boys. It's not always easy."
Coleen agreed, but insisted their love for each other is what's kept them going.
She added: "The main thing is love's always been there. People are too quick to give up on working at things.
"We've had plenty of times where we could have said, 'Right, that's it, we're done' - but we still love each other, we've got a connection."
