Tanya Bardsley Joins Coleen Rooney's Extravagant 40th Birthday Celebrations
Television personality Tanya Bardsley, aged 44, enjoyed a night of festivities with her husband Phil at Coleen Rooney's opulent 40th birthday party on Friday evening. The lavish event was hosted at the £20 million Cheshire mansion belonging to Coleen, star of I'm A Celebrity, and her husband Wayne Rooney. Guests arrived in style, with some even landing via helicopter, adding to the exclusive atmosphere of the celebration.
Stunning Attire and Dance Floor Fun
Tanya made a striking appearance in a bronze sequinned gown that accentuated her figure, featuring a daring plunging neckline. She took to Instagram to share moments from the party, including clips of herself dancing with Coleen's eldest son, Kai, who is 16 years old. In her posts, Tanya humorously remarked on Phil's enthusiastic dance moves, describing him as having 'snake hips' and noting the challenge of getting him off the dance floor as he enjoyed himself until the very end.
She captioned one video: 'Me and @phil_bardsley had the best time celebrating the beautiful icon @coleen_rooney 40th birthday it was amazing beginning to end.' Tanya added, 'Literally everyone had the best time but nobodyyy enjoyed it more than fun time Philly the dad dancing was right until the last moment before I got him in the car.'
Star-Studded Guest List and Entertainment
The birthday bash attracted a high-profile crowd, with attendees including Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy, who performed an acoustic set for the guests. Other notable figures present were English former footballer Phil Jones with his wife Kaya Hall, and Irish former footballer Darron Gibson, who arrived in a black car. The event featured an enormous white marquee set up in the 50-acre grounds of the Rooney estate, providing a grand setting for the celebrations.
Leanne Brown, known from Real Housewives of Cheshire, shared behind-the-scenes glimpses from a photo booth, adding to the festive spirit. Reports suggest the party included hundreds of bottles of champagne, a world-famous singer for entertainment, and a strict phone ban to ensure privacy, with a source describing Coleen as someone who 'parties like a good northern lass' and enjoys having fun without interruptions.
Coleen's Party Planning and Family Involvement
While Coleen had previously organised a surprise party for Wayne's 40th birthday in October last year, he opted not to plan this event, fearing it might not meet her expectations. Coleen mentioned, 'He always uses the excuse of "It wouldn't be good enough for you". He's not really a planner, so he'll say "There's no point in me doing it because you'd want to do it yourself".' Despite this, the celebration was a success, with Wayne and their son Kai seen enjoying the dance floor alongside other guests.
A source close to Coleen revealed, '[Coleen] wants to have a good time without anyone filming anything like Wayne falling on the dance floor or being drunk, It's going to be very high protection when it comes to this. It's a private party. There's no one that can party like Coleen.' The guest list was reportedly filled with A-list personalities, particularly from the football world, including former Manchester United teammates and even David Beckham, highlighting the close-knit and prestigious nature of the gathering.
