The 22-year-old invited a handful of her closest friends and her mum to the bash at a posh restaurant and bar.

The price tag for the event has been reported to be in the vicinty of £20,000 as partygoers danced in the presidential suite of a swish hotel, and sipped £200 bottles of Cristal champagne.

The event has set a high bar for Rooney to match when he hosts his stag party in the coming weeks with his Manchester United and England teammates in Ibiza.

The couple are due to marry in Italy in June.
