Alex holidays in Dubai

Just one day after Coleen McLoughlin stepped out in a skimpy bikini, fellow WAG Alex Curran proved she was not to be outdone.

The 25-year-old - whose husband Steven Gerrard is preparing to captain England at Wembley tonight - was spotted lounging by the pool of her luxury hotel in a skimpy blue and white bikini in Dubai today.

Wayne Rooney's fiancée is also enjoying a sun holiday – she arrived in Barbados earlier this week for a girls only getaway.

Alex is said to be staying at an exclusive £2000-a-night villa - complete with personal butler - with two fellow WAGs, a pregnant Jude Cisse, wife of ex-Liverpool star Djibril and Thierry Henry's estranged wife Claire.

It's the latest luxurious treat for the 25-year-old Alex - earlier this month she was seen driving her £100,000 Mercedes C class AMG, a Christmas present from her Gerrard while totting a £1,500 Zagliani python-skin handbag.

All distractions, perhaps, from the trauma she experienced in December as four masked raiders broke into her £3million mansion while her two young daughters slept upstairs.

She was confronted by the intruders after they hammered down a back door at her home.

She said: "It was absolutely terrifying, a horrendous experience."

The robbers escaped with jewellery worth thousands of pounds. It was the sixth raid in 18 months on the home of a Liverpool player.

Gerrard has since employed a security team at the family's home.
