The release date for Coleen Rooney’s bombshell Wagatha Christie documentary has finally been announced – and there’s not much longer to wait.
If you need a Wagatha refresher, last July WAG Coleen emerged victorious after a judge found her claims that fellow footballer’s wife Rebekah Vardy leaked stories about her to the press were ‘substantially true’. A defeated Becky was forced to cover the cost of both women’s legal fees, bringing an end to long-running libel dispute.
And now, Coleen is having her say in a hotly-awaited docu-series. Sources revealed on its announcement, 'Since Coleen's first damning social media post outing Rebekah, she has remained steadfastly silent. Now the public will see first-hand the toll this whole case took on her, and her family — and why she took the action she took.’
When is Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story airing?

It has been reported that Coleen was forced to change the name of the documentary after her nemesis trademarked Wagatha Christie earlier this year.
A post announcing the release date read, 'Coleen Rooney speaks for the first time. Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, a three-part documentary series, will premiere on Wednesday 18 October on Disney+.'
It featured an image of Coleen - clad in fuchsia - in front of a collage of newspaper headlines.
Where can I watch the Wagatha Christie documentary?
The tell-all series was made by Lorton Entertainment for Disney+, but before Coleen accepted their offer, there were bidding wars between Amazon Prime, Netflix and Discovery for the deal.
How much was Coleen Rooney paid for the Wagatha Christie documentary?
The huge multi-million pound payment from Disney+ marks the first time in years that Coleen has ever earned more than her husband, former footballer and current football manager Wayne Rooney — he earns $1m (£800,000) a year as head coach of the MLS soccer team DC United.
‘This is a massive deal for Coleen—in every sense,’ sources say. ‘For the first time in 20 years, she will be the main breadwinner.’
Will Rebekah Vardy be in the Wagatha Christie documentary?
The series is expected to feature footage from the iconic week-long trial and thus Rebekah will feature in some capacity however don't expect a direct interview with her.
Plus, Rebekah has reportedly also been approached by TV companies for her side of the story, so we could expect a rival documentary series from her perspective to be announced soon, too.
