"She’s worried he’s not taking enough care of himself now that he’s living on his own. It was always going to be a big adjustment for him when he gave up playing football professionally.

"He was at the peak of his fitness during that time – Coleen made sure he ate healthily and he was always running about and playing footie with the boys. Now, she feels he’s not putting himself first, and worries that he’s struggling to cope without her looking after him."

The source said Coleen's solution was to put Wayne on a diet and give him an exercise regime to make sure he is staying healthy in her absence, Mirror reports. The lifestyle change is all taking place in the run-up to his 39th birthday, when the family will go on a trip together to celebrate.

The source said: "She’s decided to put him on a bit of a health and fitness kick ahead of his 39th birthday next month, as she wants him to look and feel his best when they go away for a few days to celebrate."

The Mirror has contacted representatives of the couple for comment.
