Cast of Channel 4 Wagatha Christie film revealed with Nottingham star to play leading role

The cast set to play in Channel 4's film about the 'Wagatha Christie' case has been revealed - including Nottingham TV Workshop graduate and This Is England star Chanel Cresswell. The BAFTA-winning actress has been given the role of Coleen Rooney, while Game Of Thrones star Natalia Tena will be playing opposite her as fellow WAG, Rebekah Vardy, the Mirror reports.

Titled Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama, the highly-anticipated film is said to be based on the real court transcripts. Channel 4 says the explosive drama will "bring viewers all of the incredible and unbelievable moments from a case" that kept the public and media gripped.

Other members of the star-studded cast include Hollywood icon Michael Sheen, known for his portrayals of real-life figures such as Sir Tony Blair and broadcaster David Frost, who will play the part of Rooney's barrister, David Sherborne.
