Rebekah Vardy looks set to open the scoring in the Wagatha Christie TV war – by bringing out her documentary first.
The wife of Leicester City striker Jamie may have lost her libel case against rival WAG Coleen Rooney but she hopes to win the fight in the court of public opinion.

A tell-all interview Rebekah, 40, has given for a Discovery documentary is due to come out within the next three weeks.

Rebekah could use the proceeds from her doc to offset some of the £3.7million she has to fork out after losing the case about leaking the personal information of Coleen, 36.
Rooney set a trap by posting fake stories on the account and blocking all followers except Vardy from seeing them.
Coleen and Rebekah did not respond to requests for comment.
The documentary is set to come out at the end of October or early November, but Rooney’s will be released to the public next autumn.

Disney, who will be airing Rooney’s part of the documentary, hope that allowing some time to pass since the court case will drum up even more attention.
But it’s not just either WAG’s documentaries that will gather attention – but the brand new TV series set to launch too.
Channel 4’s Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama will explore in great detail the legal battle the ladies went through in a very public setting in 2022.
While Rooney ultimately won the lawsuit, Vardy still wants to tell her own version of events and therefore opted for a documentary.

Fans will witness the ins and outs of their courtroom drama with the show set to air later this year – though no official date has been revealed.
Natalia Tena will take on the role of Rebekah Vardy while Chanel Cresswell will play Coleen Rooney for the adaptation.
The two-part film will be created from real court transcripts and the drama will keep viewers at home able to watch the intense battle.
