Laura Simpson Dines At Wayne Rooney's Favourite Restaurant

Looking for Roo? Rooney party girl Laura Simpson dines at Wayne and Coleen's favourite restaurant Rosso owned by ANOTHER footballer... his teamate and pal Rio Ferdinand....
Laura Simpson, the woman at the centre of Wayne Rooney's drink-driving scandal, was seen enjoying a dinner at Rio Ferdinand's Manchester restaurant Rosso.

The 29-year-old, who claimed to have 'kissed and cuddled' the Everton player, was seen on Thursday evening leaving the eatery, which is frequented by the footballer and his wife Coleen alongside a bevy of other sports stars and celebrities.

Rosso, which Rio has owned for six years, is the same venue Wayne was said to have met up with former prostitute Jenny Thompson in 2009, with whom he allegedly had an affair as they met up for £1,200-a-night hotel trysts.

Laura has been at the centre of a media storm since meeting Wayne on September 1 during a night of drinking in Cheshire, after which the footballer was then caught three times over the legal limit while driving Laura's Volkswagen Beetle.

Due to the popularity of the restaurant, Laura was undoubtedly at high risk of bumping into a famous face, so the former office worker, who quit her job after the scandal, was naturally dressed to impress.

She slipped into a pair of green trousers with a black top tucked in on top while pulling on a shaggy coat and Chanel-style handbag with gold hardware. Additionally she appeared to suffer a make-up fail due to her lashings of pressed powder.

Laura's choice of restaurant was particularly poignant given the fact not only it is owned by Wayne's long-time Manchester United and England team mate Rio, but also the couple's frequent visits to the eatery for parties and dinners.
