The famous wife of Wayne Rooney hosted the celebration in a large white marquee, decorated with large floral displays and hundreds of pink balloons, on the grounds of their Cheshire home.

Coleen, who turned 40 on April 3, sported a floor-length purple fishtail gown to party with guests.

There were no shortage of famous faces at the event, including Peter Crouch’s model wife Abbey Clancy and Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner.

Coleen's good friend, former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Leanne Brown, also attended, posting a collection of snaps of the celebrations to social media.

"We can't wait to celebrate with you and love you all the world," it read.

Workmen had been seen constructing the marquee as early as last week, according to reports, alongside an outdoor seating area and additional toilets for guests.

Mum-of-four Coleen previously confirmed that she's planned more than one event, with reports that the celebrations are expected to span the entire Easter weekend.

"I love a birthday and a celebration," she said.
