He’s long been compared to Shrek, and Wayne Rooney 's party pal Laura Simpson hit the footballer where it hurt by donning a mask of the animated character on a boozy night out in Manchester on Thursday - allegedly almost getting herself kicked out in the process.
An onlooker tells Mirror Online the 29-year-old put on a mask her friend had, and even pretended to drive - in reference to the fact Rooney was charged with drink driving after being busted behind the wheel of her car in the early hours of September 1.
“A girl she was with came out of nowhere with a Shrek mask, and Laura said, ‘you b**ch, I'm going to get done for this,” the onlooker tells Mirror Online.

“She was laughing and put the mask on, then threw it on the floor. She was even pretending to drive with her hands."
But the wannabe-reality star’s antics landed her in hot water, with the insider claiming she got so rowdy that she was asked to leave the venue.
And when that happened, Laura apparently pulled the “don’t you know who I am,” card!
“She was draped over at least six different men, chatting them up. She was going around the whole room," continues the source.
"She was shouting all sorts and security told her to calm down.

"She started mouthing off, asking ‘do you know who I am’, and they laughed because they didn’t. Then she was asked to leave but I think they let her back in."
Mirror Online has contacted Laura for comment.
It comes after Laura, 29, hinted she was suffering a serious case of regretsies about her night out with Wayne.
Sharing an image of herself taken in the bogs on the night she met Wayne, she captioned it, “Throw back to the night I wished I’d stayed in," along with two crying with laughter emojis.

However, as speculation continues to grow regarding the state of Wayne's marriage to Coleen, Laura has otherwise been busy embracing her new celeb status, and is said to exploring the well-worn reality TV route.
The 29-year-old beauty is supposedly in talks to land a role on the next series of Celebrity Big Brother .

According to The Sun, Laura has her hopes pinned on making an appearance on the famed reality show as one of the more controversial and gossip-worthy contestants.
A source told the newspaper's website that she's determined to become a household name.
“Laura seems dead set on keeping her short lived fame going," the insider explained. "She has been for a meeting with producers of CBB to talk about getting onto the next series, but bosses seem less than impressed with her appearance on This Morning so the jury is out as to whether she will get a place.”

However, it look like her plans could be derailed with the source claiming agents are giving her a wide berth for fear of a Rooney retribution.
“The Rooney brand is a big and powerful one, to go against that with all of their money and resources to stop someone like Laura," the source said.
"Everyone is keeping well away from her, despite her emailing a lot of them to see if they will represent her.”

Mirror Online have reached out to a CBB representative for comment.
Laura wouldn't be the first woman linked to Rooney to embrace the limelight.
Former escort Helen Wood appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and is in the process of releasing a new tell-all book.
And call girl Jenny Thompson, who bedded him back in 2010 in the same scandalous affair as Helen, has also appeared on MTV's Ex On The Beach.
