Coleen Rooney has followed in the steps of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, and Daniel Sturridge, and taken on the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Croxteth-born Coleen was nominated for the challenge by Queens Park Rangers winger Sean Wright Phillips.

The Ice Bucket Challenge sees participants filming themselves having a bucket of iced water poured over their heads, before sharing it on social media.

After the soaking, Coleen nominated journalist Piers Morgan and her friend Sheree Murphy.

David Beckham has become the latest celebrity to do the Ice Bucket challenge for charity.

The former Manchester United star took the challenege for the ALS foundation in America and nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio along with basketball players Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the latest footballing star to take up the ice bucket challenge.

He did it to support James McCarthy, a student from Greater Manchester who has terminal brain cancer.

The 31 year old is a big Manchester United fan and Darren Fletcher, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville have all had a soaking to support the James McCarthy Foundation and help pay for his bucket list.

The midfielder undertook the challenge to help raise money for the James McCarthy Foundation. He's now challenged former Manchester United duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Wes Brown to do it.

In March 2009 James was diagnosed with a brain tumour after a car crash. He had an operation to remove it and had to learn to walk and talk again. After finishing his radiotherapy James started studying for a degree at the University of Salford and graduated with a degree in Business Management.

In June, he received the devastating news that the tumour has returned and has now set up the James McCarthy Foundation to raise money to complete a bucket list.
