For some, it was the greatest mystery of all time. For others, it was a petty squabble that should never have gone to court. Whatever your view, the Wagatha Christie case captured the public imagination, and continues to do so, four years on. The trial has been dramatised on stage and screen, as well as being the focus of a documentary. Actually, make that two. Just when you thought no more tea could be spilled, along comes Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, a first-person account from the defendant herself. People, we’re going to need a bigger mug.
While the documentary’s biggest draw is that it features her parents and husband, former England captain Wayne Rooney, speaking publicly about the case for the first time, those hoping for blinding new revelations are likely to be disappointed. His wife might aspire to be Agatha Christie, but Wayne is no Hercule Poirot, even if, according to Coleen, he became so invested in the trial that at one point, he considered retraining as a lawyer.
