The Wagatha Christie trial is set to be turned into a Hollywood movie, with a string of directors scrambling for a deal.
The High Court drama – the culmination of a three-year battle between WAGs Rebekah Vardy, 40, and Coleen Rooney, 36 – ended on Friday with Coleen emerging victorious.
It has been followed as much for its glamour as for the intrigue and betrayal of trust at its centre.
Fellow WAG Lizzie Cundy said: “I was on the phone to Bruno Tonioli, he was with a Hollywood director who wants to make a film.
“It’s not just him, lots of people in Hollywood have their eye on it. America can’t believe the headlines it courted around the world.”
On Friday a judge ruled Coleen’s accusation that Rebekah had leaked personal information about her was “substantially true”.
Coleen told pal Lizzie, 54, the result “was the best outcome” she could have hoped for. TV presenter Lizzie, previously married to footballer Jason Cundy, said: “She is just incredibly grateful for how it’s all panned out.”
Coleen is expected to jet to Washington with husband Wayne, who is now manager of Major League Soccer side DC United.
Lizzie said of Coleen’s feelings towards Rebekah: “She doesn’t wish her any ill will… but I don’t think they will ever be friends.”
It comes as Coleen, 36, is said to be in 'advanced talks' in telling her story in a documentary series made by Lorton films, who also made Rooney about her husband Wayne.
The Liverpool-born WAG will reportedly tell the story of how she felt betrayed when she accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her in 2019.
Coleen's friend told us previously: “Coleen has remained quiet ever since that famous online post. But this could all change in what could be the TV event of the year.
“Viewers would see all the evidence that Coleen has forensically gathered via her online sleuthing and see why she is convinced that Rebekah leaked the stories about her and others.
"She is minded to get it all out into the pubic domain and let people make their own minds up. Talks are very well advanced.”
A potential deal with Netflix is also reportedly on the cards, but it's looking like the show will be snapped up by Amazon Prime, as reported by the Mirror, and will be released later this year.
