Coleen McLoughlin has issued strict instructions to old friends and family attending her 21st birthday party at the end of the month: they’re not to take their phones, any cameras or ask celebrity guests for autographs.

The six-page lilac and pink invitation tells guests: “We would respectfully ask that guests refrain from using any recording or photographic equipment. In order to fully comply with this request all such items are to be submitted to security upon arrival and will be returned on departure.”

Coleen, and fiance Wayne Rooney, have invited around 300 guests to the £500,000 event at Thornton Manor in the Wirral including many of Wayne’s footballing friends (and their WAGs) such as David & Victoria Beckham and Steven Gerrard & Alex Curran, as well as other celebrity friends such as fellow scousers and former Atomic Kittens Liz McLarnon & Natasha Hamilton. Girls Aloud and the Sugababes are reportedly set to provide the entertainment alongside acrobats and trapeze artists mingling with the party-goers.
