Former England striker Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen have transformed their £20million Cheshire estate to host an extravagant party.

Coleen is preparing to celebrate her 40th birthday this Friday.

Workers were spotted constructing a substantial marquee at the property last weekend, with outdoor heating equipment installed yesterday in preparation for the milestone bash.

The festivities are expected to continue throughout the Easter weekend, with family and close friends gathering to mark the occasion.

Former England striker Wayne Rooney, also 40, is helping organise the celebrations for his wife, according to the Sun.

Coleen has previously indicated she intends to hold multiple events to commemorate reaching the landmark age.

The I'm a Celebrity star has spoken enthusiastically about her upcoming milestone.

She told OK! magazine: "I'm looking forward to it."

She added: "I love a birthday and a celebration.

"I have decided to enjoy a couple of different celebrations with family and friends over the year and with my birthday falling over Easter weekend, some friends are away so any opportunity to extend the celebrations."

While preparations for the party were underway, the Rooneys enjoyed a family getaway to Disneyland Paris with their youngest child, eight-year-old Cass.

The trio received exclusive VIP access to experience the theme park's newly launched World of Frozen attraction.

During the trip, Coleen was photographed wearing her wedding ring once more, a notable detail given recent events.

The mum of four had removed the band following an incident earlier this month involving her husband, the Plymouth Argyle manager and Match of the Day pundit.

Wayne had been filmed drinking with two unidentified women at a pre-Brit Awards gathering at a Manchester hotel earlier this month.

The former Manchester United striker was also captured on camera appearing to struggle with his trousers during the night out, which reportedly lasted until 3.25am.

The couple, who first met as 12-year-olds in Croxteth, Liverpool, have weathered numerous public scandals throughout their relationship.

They tied the knot in a lavish £5million ceremony in Portofino, Italy in 2008 and share four sons together: Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass.

The Rooneys remain one of Britain's most recognisable couples, having been in the spotlight since their teenage years.
