A source close to the star, who is now a player-coach with Derby County, told The Sun: ‘Like most footballers, Wayne has had a lot of time on his hands and been at home a lot. As well as keeping fit and in shape, he’s been rolling up his sleeves and doing the home-schooling.’
‘He’s particularly good at maths and science, so he looks after that. He is really throwing himself into it.’
‘He already helped the boys with homework but he has now taken it to a new level since the lockdown was enforced. Coleen is very impressed with how he has adapted.’
The source added: ‘Anything creative or to do with English, he leaves with Coleen. Naturally he’s made sure there’s time for a kickabout in the garden with the boys.’
