Janet said that the footballer looked like he was going to “explode” out of his suit.
She said: “It’s become the battle of the blokes. Have you ever seen Wayne Rooney looking so smart?
“Wayne has been ordered by his wife to shape up, fit into that suit and my goodness it looks like he is going to explode out of it any minute.”
The comments didn’t go down well with viewers watching, who criticised Janet on Twitter.

“Yet Janet has just body shamed @WayneRooney and nobody even looked twice? Okay then.”
Another wrote: “Fat-shaming Wayne Rooney isn’t cool,” in reference to Janet.
A third said: “Just turned on the TV about to have my lunch break – Loose Women comes on with Janet Street-Porter saying Wayne Rooney’s about to explode out his suit.
“Imagine if she was saying that about a woman?”
