London, July 04(ANI): Wayne Rooney had to rush his pregnant wife Coleen to hospital after she fell ill in the scorching heat of St.Trupez, while on a vacation.

The soccer star was seen trying to arrange a car, while the mum-to-be talked to a doctor on phone relating her pain.

She was finally taken to Pole de Sante hospital in the town of southern France.

The fear of harm to their unborn child made the English footballer fretful, and he called relatives back home explaining the situation, while Coleen was going through a check-up by doctors.

According to the Daily Star, one passer-by heard the Manchester United striker as saying: “I’m sure she’s fine. It’s just so hot here.”

“You’re in limbo when you’re waiting to hear how things are going on in hospital, so obviously Wayne was on edge,” the source said.

However, after an hour, his wife came out smiling and hugged him and reassured that their first child would be just fine.

The source added: “There was no big panic, and they are both coming home today anyway. They did the right thing, because as first-time parents you just want to know that everything is ok. Wayne has explained that this was very much a precautionary thing because, not only are you abroad, but it’s so hot!”

Coleen had been playing a lot of water sports like jet-skiing in the sun-kissed holiday on a luxury yacht which added to the fear of harm to her unborn child. (ANI)
