The 20-year-old, whose autobiography Welcome To My World is being serialised in the Daily Mirror, said the couple still planned to marry but the wedding would not be taking place this year as rumoured.

"Me and Wayne would like to get married in the near future and then we can think about having children," she said.

But she added that she wasn’t planning to start a family soon.

"Wayne would love to have a child right now but I think I’m too young."

And she said that the couple’s time in the spotlight has strengthened their relationship.

"The experiences we’ve been through together, both personally and in our careers, have forced us to grow up quicker than a lot of couples our age. Going through all we have done has only brought us closer."

Coleen: I was an Ugly Betty - Jan 17 2007
She may be one of the most glamorous WAGs these days, but Coleen McLoughlin has revealed she used to be an Ugly Betty.

The fiancee of footballer Wayne Rooney says she used to be the spitting image of the TV show’s dowdy magazine assistant - right down to the braces and specs.

"Like Betty I wore a brace and glasses when I was younger," the 20-year-old told the Daily Star.

"After wearing glasses since the age of seven I got contact lenses at 12. Then my brace was put in a year after that."

But the pretty brunette insists she never felt bad about her looks.

"At the time loads of other girls in my year wore braces, so I wasn’t at all embarrassed," she said.

The WAG also admitted she still has to work hard at looking good.

"After taking a break over Christmas, I’m working out with my trainer twice a week," she said.
