Luke Littler signs autographs for Coleen Rooney’s thrilled sons as they celebrate his victory at the World Darts Championships – but dad Wayne is nowhere to be seen
Wayne Rooney was nowhere to be seen on Friday evening as his delighted sons met Luke Littler after his epic victory at the World Darts Championships at London’s Alexandra Palace.
While his wife Coleen, 38, joined in the fun and even found herself soaking in beer cheering on 17-year-old newly unemployed Wayne, failing to join in on the family outing.
The former Plymouth Argyle manager, 39, shared on his Instagram a photo of one of his sons, 11-year-old Klay, meeting the new world champion and wrote: ‘What a night for the boys. Congratulations Luc. Unbelievable.’
However, despite sharing his support, Wayne did not appear to be at the event in person.
Instead, Coleen and three of their sons attended the match, with the Rooney boys having their replica shirts signed by Luke shortly after his victory, which saw him crowned the youngest world champion in the sport’s history.

Littler, who hit 12 maximums, was spellbinding in the way he dismantled three-time former champion Michael van Gerwen, who at 24 held the previous record for the youngest world title winner, to seal an emphatic 7-3 win.
Elsewhere, Coleen was pictured looking glamorous at the event as she took part in the festivities.
Her polished appearance didn’t last long, however, as Coleen later accidentally spilled beer on herself as she and her boys happily celebrated Luke’s victory.
Despite her celebrity status, Coleen lingered among the crowd as she and her boys partied at the raucous event, sitting at long tables as they watched the nail-biting final.
The I’m A Celebrity star opted for a chic beige T-shirt with blue and white striped trim, with the stunner pairing her top with a trendy gold watch and simple gold earrings.
Keen to document her night out, Coleen filmed her companions jumping up and down excitedly as Luke was crowned world champion.
But things went a bit pear-shaped as in her excitement, Coleen revealed she had accidentally spilled beer on herself, with the mum-of-four heard screaming in her Instagram video as the drink splashed on her.
The WAG’s scream briefly alarmed her son Kit, eight, as he looked around in surprise for his mother before turning back to the action.

Captioning her post, Coleen wrote: ‘Great evening…kids were buzzing!! Congratulations @lukethenukettler.’
She then added: “That’s me screaming while getting beer poured over me,” alongside a crying laughing emoji.
Her post was then re-shared by champion Luke, who is no doubt in a jubilant mood after his sensational win.
Wayne’s absence comes as he is reportedly set to take up his new role as househusband this year as his wife Coleen is inundated with TV offers amid her success with I’m A Celebrity.
The former Manchester United player was sacked by Plymouth Argyle after just 25 games in charge on Tuesday after the club sank to the bottom of the Championship.
Wayne would return to Cheshire to join Coleen and their children after the disastrous seven months of management.
