It’s… Coleen Rooney’s account (again). Just a few weeks after her three-part documentary The Real Wagatha Story served up behind-the-scenes tales from her High Court battle with fellow Wag Rebekah Vardy – and detailed the social media sleuthing that prompted her to go after Vardy in the first place – Coleen is returning to the Wagatha Christie scandal in her second autobiography. Her first effort, Welcome to My World, came out when she was about to turn 21 in 2007, the year before she married the then Manchester United footballer Wayne.
But even if you hoovered up every bizarre, gossipy titbit related to the Wagatha saga – and from a crucial piece of evidence falling into the North Sea to a spectacularly unforgiving courtroom sketch of Wayne, they came thick and fast – you’d still be forgiven for wondering: is there really anything left to say? According to Coleen, though, My Account isn’t meant to dish further dirt. Instead, it is more of an exploration of what motivated her to post that initial “J’accuse” in the first place. “I’d like to express my feelings about it and tell my side of the story from beginning to end, then draw a line under it and get on with the rest of my life,” she says in her introduction.
