Viewers have hailed a Channel 4 drama about Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy's trial as "comedy gold." As people tuned in on Wednesday night to relive the famous 'Wagatha Christie' case, many couldn't help laughing as the first of a two-part film, created from the court transcripts, unfolded.
Viewers tuned into the first instalment of Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama as WAG Rebekah, played by Harry Potter star Natalia Tena, took to the stand. The drama explored the highly publicised court case that saw former Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney's wife Coleen, played by This Is England star Chanel Cresswell, allege that Rebekah, the wife of Leicester City player Jamie Vardy, had been leaking fake stories to tabloids in exchange for money.
One viewer @WivFunnyFarm tweeted: "Strangely awful yet brilliant & hilarious." @_nik88 laughed: "I am absolutely p***ing myself at this! Comedy gold."
