Coleen Rooney 'in talks over Wagatha Netflix documentary' after Rebekah Vardy libel case win

Coleen Rooney is said to be in talks for a TV show based on the Wagatha Christie trial after she won the libel case.

The wife of former England international Wayne Rooney, is set to reveal all about the lead up to the now infamous hearing. After a nearly three-year-long battle in which Rebekah Vardy sued Coleen for libel - the judgement ruled in favour of the Scouser.

And now according to reports, Coleen is said to be in 'advanced talks' in telling her story in a documentary series made by Lorton films, who also made Rooney about her husband Wayne. The 36-year-old will reportedly tell the story of how she felt betrayed when she accused fellow WAG Becky Vardy of leaking stories about her in 2019.

Coleen will apparently reveal her failed attempts to settle the matter out of court as well as her shock at the astronomical legal costs, which are said to have reached a whopping £3 million. Coleen's friend told us previously: “Coleen has remained quiet ever since that famous online post. But this could all change in what could be the TV event of the year.

“Viewers would see all the evidence that Coleen has forensically gathered via her online sleuthing and see why she is convinced that Rebekah leaked the stories about her and others. She is minded to get it all out into the pubic domain and let people make their own minds up. Talks are very well advanced.”

A source told the Daily Mail: "I’m told: ‘Coleen has a great sense of right and wrong, of what is moral, and this has become a crusade with her. Now that the court case is over, she is going to take the chance to really tell her full story."

The star is said to have allowed cameras into her home in Cheshire for 'greater impact' and will also include comment from husband Wayne about how the stress has affected them as a family. The show is reportedly not yet sold to a broadcaster but global sales are expected for the documentary.

A potential deal with Netflix is also reportedly on the cards, but it's looking like the show will be snapped up by Amazon Prime, as reported by the Mirror, and will be released later this year.

Coleen's reps have been contacted for comment.
