COLEEN McLoughlin can breathe a sigh of relief – two members of fiancé Wayne Rooney’s wayward family have missed out on a place in Big Brother 9.

Wayne’s cousins Stephen, a gay cross-dresser, and Natalie, who flashed her boob at Coleen’s 21st birthday bash, failed to make the cut for the Channel 4 hit, which starts on June 5 – but only just.

Coleen will be over the moon.

The WAG has already banned the badly-behaved pair from her lavish Italian wedding next month so she’ll be chuffed they won’t be able to embarrass her on TV in the run-up to her nuptials.

But we think BB bosses have made a huge mistake not getting them in the house.

You will recall us telling you about Natalie, 18, getting her much-aired assets pumped up to a massive 32F and Stephen, 24, dressing up as a Spice Girl.

The children of Wayne’s uncle John are clearly perfect, scummy, Big Brother fodder.

But, alas, it’s not to be.

A Big Brother source told us: “Stephen and Natalie were brilliant at the auditions and they did go quite far in the process.

“But a decision was taken that we didn’t want to have the series hijacked by them.”

They’re not the first members of the extended Rooney clan to make a bid for fame.

Yet another cousin of the Manchester United star, R&B singer James, tried his luck on The X Factor in 2006.

He failed to make the big time too.

The BB finalists are currently being smuggled out of the country as producers decide who will actually be going into the House From Hell.

Unfortunately, two brilliant candidates will be spending their summer out in the real world.

Or maybe one of two other things.

1. This is ALL lies... and no such people ever were considered by BB

2. This did happen and they weren't as good as other contestants. Perhaps their only advantage was being related to some football playing tart!

Wasnt that Natalie supposed to have auditoned some time ago like for last years or the year befores?

It's not lies, The Sun don't value BB anymore enough to put it in it's paper unless it's something major or negative, so why would the bother writing lies about it like the daily star?

The sun is a bit more reliable than the star but i don't really care if they didnt get in or what ever housemates that i see in the house are the only ones that interest me

BB's a Rooney free zone
Can you believe there’s only a few weeks to go until Big Brother starts all over again? No, we can’t either. And one star who won’t be dreaded the series beginning anymore is Coleen McLoughlin. The WAG was worried that two members of her hubby-to-be Wayne Rooney’s family were going to get selected – but they have failed to get through to the last stage. Wayne’s cousin Natalie – who flashed her boob for cameras at Coleen’s 21st party – and cross-dresser Stephen had both hoped to win a coveted place in the UK’s most famous house, but they failed to impress producers. A BB source confirmed, “Stephen and Natalie were brilliant at the auditions, but a decision was taken that we didn’t want the series hijacked by them.” Coleen, who has banned the trouble-making pair from her upcoming Italian wedding, can breathe a sigh of relief. For now...

I think its good that this year it looks like housemates are getting into the house on how well they perform at the auditions and they are not automatically being put in the house if related to someone famous.

I am expecting a great bunch of housemates now.

Yeah i think this does give a good indication of better housemates

Everything is pointing forward for BB9 ... earlier Auditions.. housemates not automatically in because of relations,, heavier advertising,, better build up..later launch date avoiding major programmes and better time slot to avoid clashes

Hopefully this will be a good series

[Redmond]

Good they sound awful. Hopefully BB are picking a different, diverse mix of housemates this year instead.

[BigSister]

Hopefully so and yeah she auditioned last year but was too young
