Channel 4 have given viewers a sneak peek at their upcoming documentary on the 'Wagatha Christie' trial.
Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy's trial caused a huge stir earlier this year. The first images of a two-part film exploring the legal battle of 'Wagatha Christie' have been released by Channel 4.
The case was based on Coleen's own personal "sting operation" where she accused Rebekah of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the press. Rebekah lost a libel battle against Coleen over the post after a High Court judge found it was "substantially true".

Bafta-winning actress Chanel Cresswell will play Coleen in "Vardy V Rooney: A Courtroom Drama". Natalia Tena, who will take on the role of Rebekah Vardy, is seen in dark glasses surrounded by reporters.
Good Omens actor Michael Sheen will also play Rooney's barrister David Sherborne, whose previous clients include Diana, Princess of Wales, and Johnny Depp, alongside Simon Coury as Vardy's barrister, Hugh Tomlinson QC.
It also sees Dion Lloyd play former Manchester United midfielder Wayne Rooney and Marton Nagyszokolyai take the role of current Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy. Both footballers also played for England.
Channel 4 said its film "recreates the high drama, high stakes High Court defamation case" based on the court transcripts. It also imagines the "huge impact on the lives of the two women at its heart".
The high-profile court case is also being turned into a West End play with stage actress Lucy May Barker playing Vardy while Laura Dos Santos, who has appeared in Doctor Who, will play Rooney.
Vardy V Rooney: A Courtroom Drama is set to air on Channel 4 in December.
