ITV to Air Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story Ahead of I'm A Celebrity

Drama on and off-screen

Coleen Rooney, the infamous WAG who famously accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories to the press, will have her side of the story told in a new ITV documentary.

The two-part series, titled Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, will air ahead of Rooney's appearance on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and is expected to provide a deeper insight into the highly publicized legal battle between the pair.

The Wagatha Christie case

The so-called "Wagatha Christie" case dominated headlines in 2019 when Rooney accused Vardy of leaking false stories about her to The Sun newspaper. The scandal led to Vardy suing Rooney for libel, a case that ended in Rooney's favor in July 2022.

The new documentary is set to explore the events leading up to the trial, the trial itself, and the aftermath. It will feature interviews with Rooney, her husband Wayne, and other key figures involved in the case.

Exploring the world of WAGS

The series will also delve into the world of WAGS (wives and girlfriends of footballers) and the scrutiny they face in the public eye. Rooney has been a vocal critic of the media's treatment of WAGS, and the documentary is expected to shed light on this aspect of her life.

Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story is expected to air in the coming weeks on ITV.
