Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney 'to battle it out' for big money TV deals

Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney could be about to head into another battle - they are set to square off in rival big-money TV shows as soon as their Wagatha Christie court showdown is settled.

Wayne's wife Coleen has reportedly signed a deal to make a documentary for streaming giant Netflix.

The Daily Star report Becky, the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie, 35, is understood to be in negotiations with Piers Morgan for an interview on his new TalkTV chat show.

The showbiz world awaits with their high-profile battle due to be heard at London's High Court on Tuesday.

But it's what happens after that could be equally as gripping.

Sources suggest both could pocket six-figure sums for spilling details of their battle and the impact the row has had years after it all kicked off.

Coleen is reportedly working with Dorothy Street Pictures, the company behind Netflix's forthcoming Pamela Anderson documentary, on her story.

A source said: "Coleen has done the clever thing and got in to tell her story before someone else muscles in.

"She will be really hands-on and wants to tell the truth about what went on. Filming started a few weeks ago and there is huge excitement around it.

"The programme is going in the direction of Netflix. It will be ACES: classy and speak from the heart.'' Meanwhile, Piers, 57, is said to be keen to secure Rebekah for his new chat show.

A source said: "While nothing has been signed yet, the deal is as good as done. Piers is not going to let this go elsewhere."

Rebekah, 40, launched a libel suit against Coleen, 36, after Coleen accused Rebekah's Instagram account of leaking details of her private life.

In a trap straight out of a whodunnit, Rooney said she posted three fake tales on her private Instagram Stories account and blocked everyone except Rebekah's account from seeing them.

When the bogus stories were published, Coleen posted on social media in dramatic style: "It's...... Rebekah Vardy's account.''

The sting earned her the nickname "Wagatha Christie".

Rebekah denies she was the snitch and is claiming damages plus a restraining order preventing Coleen from repeating the claims.

The trial is due to start tomorrow, with Derby County boss Wayne, 36, set to be among the witnesses.
