Tanya Bardsley parties the night away at Coleen Rooney's lavish 40th
by GERAINT LLEWELLYN, SHOWBUSINESS REPORTER · Mail OnlineTanya Bardsley partied the night away with 'dad dancing' husband Phil at Coleen Rooney's lavish 40th birthday on Friday evening.
The TV personality, 44, stunned in a plunging sequinned gown as she helped celebrate the milestone at the I'm A Celeb star and husband Wayne's £20M Cheshire mansion.
Following the swanky bash, which saw some guests arrive via helicopter, Tanya took to Instagram with clips from the evening that saw her hit the dance floor with the birthday girl's eldest son Kai, 16.
She poked fun at her husband's wild dance moves and said she'd struggled to get him and his 'snake hips' off the dance floor.
Tanya's bronze gown hugged every inch of her incredible figure and the daringly plunging neckline showcased her eye-popping cleavage.
She captioned the post: 'Me and @phil_bardsley had the best time celebrating the beautiful icon @coleen_rooney 40th birthday it was amazing beginning to end'.
'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'.
She continued: 'Thank you Coleen and Wayne and @julieperryevents you are so talented so amazing there’s nothing you don’t think off every detail was just perfection it was so good I didn’t get any pictures but I was sent lots of videos this morning of snake hips dancing Phil living his best life on the dance floor'.
Elsewhere Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy delighted guests with an acoustic performance.
Coleen threw the huge bash for her closest friends and family as she had an enormous white marquee put up in the 50-acre grounds of her home.
TV personality Leanne Brown, who first rose to fame as one of the original cast members of Real Housewives of Cheshire back in 2015, shared a behind-the-scenes look at what went down at the party as she posed in a photo booth.
Among the stars who pulled up to the mansion for the bash on Friday were English former footballer Phil Jones and his wife Kaya Hall.
Meanwhile Irish former footballer Darron Gibson was joined by another attendee in a black car as he arrived.
And the star-studded guest list made quite the arrival, with a helicopter even spotted landing at Coleen and Wayne's £20million Cheshire home.
In another snap, a glimpse of an outdoor marquee could be seen erected in the garden as people arrived in chauffeured cars.
The incredibly lavish celebrations are reportedly set to include hundreds of bottles of champagne on ice, a world famous singer to entertain the VIP crowd as well as a strict phone ban.
Speaking to The Mirror, a friend of Coleen's reportedly said she loves to party and was sure to be up dancing during the celebrations.
'Coleen parties like a good northern lass,' they said. 'She's a very normal girl at the end of the day - she just likes a good time and having fun. It will be epic.'
While Coleen organised a surprise party for Wayne's 40th in October last year, he did not return the favour and steered clear from planning the party over fears of disappointing her.
She said at the time: '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".'
A source told The Mirror: '[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 source went on to say: 'The guest list is obviously going to be A list and very football related.
'There's going to be all of Wayne’s old teammates, the ex-Manchester United squad and everyone that's played with Wayne, including David Beckham.
