When Coleen Rooney became suspicious that a follower on her private Instagram account was leaking stories to The Sun newspaper, her husband Wayne offered some advice. “I said to Coleen ‘Just delete it. Social media’s not something you necessarily need’. She said no, so…” the former England ace says, trailing off. He bears the sheepish smile of a man who realises, belatedly, he might have said something a bit silly. “And that’s the way she is.”
Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story shows us exactly what Wayne means. This appointment-viewing three-part documentary, airing on Disney Plus today, is the first time Coleen has spoken at length about the surreal, multimillion-pound libel trial triggered by her now infamous “It’s…….. Rebekah Vardy’s account” post, accusing her fellow “wag” of being behind the infringements. We meet a straight-talking, unpretentious woman; someone who is deeply moral and relentless in her determination to do what she believes is right. This, it turns out, is the way she is.
