Newlyweds Wayne and Coleen Rooney have headed back to Blighty with a pair of matching wedding rings worth over £250,000.

Soccer star Wayne splashed out  on a massive diamond ring - described by the News Of The World as “the size of a chicken nugget” - for Coleen which is thought to be worth up to half a million quid alone.

Jewellery expert  Eileen Kelly tells the paper, “It’s beautiful and obviously a bespoke piece.

“I would say, because it is so unusual, that she has has chosen the design and had them specially made.

“Both rings are channel-set with two rows of diamonds and hers is offset with a massive marquise cut diamond on top. What a lovely way to start married life.”

The couple are now back in Liverpool following a five days of wedding celebration in Italy.
