Wayne Rooney brushing up his cooking skills

London, May 3 (ANI): Footballer Wayne Rooney is brushing up his cooking skills by tuning into BBC1 show Saturday Kitchen.

The 24-year-old footie is so obsessed with the cookery program that he Sky Pluses the show and watches it later in the week.

James Martin presents Saturday Kitchen. Teammates Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs own restaurants, but for Rooney it's all about the cooking, reports The Sun.

"When he watches the show he pauses it so he can cook along with the guest chefs. Wayne's getting very good in the kitchen," a source said.

Rooney was recently named the PFA Player of the Year 2010. (ANI)
