Coleen Rooney has sensationally revealed she was “forced to set a trap” for her former friend Rebekah Vardy in the first trailer for her brand new documentary centred on the infamous Wagatha Christie trial.
If you were hiding under a rock in 2019 and didn’t follow along with all the WAG-related drama, 37-year-old Coleen used clever Instagram tactics to “trap” Rebecca, 41, into seeing Instagram Stories in which Coleen shared false information about her life. She did this after realising that personal tidbits about her life were getting leaked to the press, and she had a sneaking suspicion that it was Rebekah.
This culminated in a very public “outing” in October 2019. “It’s…Rebekah Vardy,” Coleen infamously announced on social media, outing her one-time friend as the apparent person who was behind leaking stories about her to the tabloids. The clash saw Coleen being dubbed #WagathaChristie on social media – a homage to bestselling detective novelist Agatha Christie.

Following the social media clash, the wife of footballer Jamie Vardy accused Coleen of libel – and prolonged court proceedings ended with High Court Judge Justice Steyn finding that Coleen had not committed libel against her fellow friend in accusing her of leaking private information to the tabloids because the accusation was “substantially true”.
And with the case hitting headlines across the globe, mother-of-four Coleen is now having her say in an upcoming three-part docuseries for Disney+. The streamer has also released the first official trailer for the hotly anticipated series, in which Coleen herself is in the hot seat divulging what really happened during the scandal.
