The Crewe Chronicle has suffered rejection after celebrity ‘journalist’ Coleen McLoughlin declined its kind offer of paid work experience.
Wayne Rooney’s girlfriend recently caused a stir when she put her occupation as journalist when submitting her wedding banns at Crewe Register Office.
Sadly for the Trinity Mirror weekly the 22-year-old, who reportedly earns £100,000 a year for her column in Closer magazine, said she was too busy preparing her June wedding.
Chronicle news editor Antonia Merola said: “We had to go through her agent – she said thanks for the offer but was really busy with the wedding.
“He’s given us some great stories since so it was worthwhile in that sense – it’s just a shame about Coleen.”

Bless her. Is she in the NUJ?

If I’d been offered that opportunity, I would have bitten their hand off and would probably have severed the rest of their arm from the elbow downwards.
