Coleen Rooney signs deal with Disney+ for Wagatha Christie documentary

Coleen Rooney has signed a deal with Disney+ for a three-part TV series in which she'll tell her side of the Wagatha Christie case.

The news was confirmed at the Edinburgh TV Festival by the streaming service, where they announced they had won the exclusive rights to work with Coleen, 36. The show has been given the working title of Wagatha Christie and is also set to explore how Coleen has been in the public spotlight for two decades, having begun dating footballer husband Wayne when they were teenagers.

Describing the project, Disney+ wrote in an announcement: "The three-part series will take viewers from the circumstances that led to her infamous Instagram post that ‘broke the Internet’ all the way to Coleen being a successful defendant in one of the UK’s highest-profile High Court defamation cases brought against her by Rebekah Vardy. In a story for our times, Wagatha Christie will reveal how fiercely determined and resilient Coleen had to be in order to protect her family from the challenges presented by the traditional and social media landscapes."
