Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story

Coleen and Wayne Rooney both let us peak into their truly private lives and it shows them both to be thoroughly decent people. The part about Rosie had me choked and knowing that Vardy used the death of Coleen's sister has left me thinking I've wiped better off the soles of my shoes than RV! How anyone can support her after watching this, only speaks volumes about them! Coleen is the victim here and well done her for making such a dignified and classy documentary! It's indepth, insightful and done with no fear of retribution as it's truthful - I urge anyone who still has a pop at Coleen over this Vardy instigated saga, to watch this...

Honestly, this kind of programme isn't usually my bag, but I was just curious enough, especially after seeing something of her on this year's "I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of Here" series, to take a backdated interest in Coleen Rooney's very public feud with Rebekah Vardy. Both are the high-profile wives of prominent English professional footballers, Wayne Rooney and his sometime international teammate Jamie Vardy. Hence the demeaning term coined by the press of "WAG's" (Wives and Girlfriends) to collectively describe the players' spouses.

Mrs Rooney in particular has been a target for the British tabloid press for years given the lightning rise to fame of hubby Wayne, probably the best English player of his generation. The couple were childhood sweethearts and have a family of four young boys although his extra-marital behaviour down the years has put strains on their relationship, culminating in a brief separation. Happily reconciled, they live in the lap of luxury in grounds which look the size of ten Wembleys. Nevertheless she comes across as very grounded and nobody's fool either.

When she noticed that personal information she'd posted on Instagram to a group she believed to be private to family and friends was next ending up in the gossip columns of one of the British press's most notorious scandal sheets, she suspected Ms Vardy who she'd only added to her contact list more out of charity than any close feelings of friendship. So she set a trap for Vardy by planting a false story which she ensured only her prime suspect could see and when sure enough the bait was taken and the story published, she very publicly outed her. Vardy foolishly and naively responded with a libel suit which went to the High Court and also to the front page of the newspapers and top of the television news headlines.

Obviously, we only get one side of the story with Vardy and her staff not giving their points of view, nevertheless the question of guilt seems clear especially when redacted messages about Rooney between her and her agent are brought to light and that's before all that dubious stuff about Vardy's tablet malfunctioning and the agent's mobile phone ending up in the sea.

Rooney comes across as a cool and calm customer, unafraid to call out transgressions against her as well as following through on her convictions. The story is narrated pretty much by her with supporting contributions from her legal team, friends and family, including her slightly befuddled husband Wayne. We also get an insight into her personal life where even as she lives in their palatial £20 million property, she still shops at B & M, no doubt bargain-hunting.

She comes over very well in this three-part series, which cleverly teases out the key moments in the drama, even if the coverage does seem one-sided, although I don't see Ms Vardy rushing to her own defence any time soon with a programme like this. Like I said not the kind of programme I generally take in, but I did find it an interesting and entertaining look at how the other half lives and what happens when celebrities fall out.

What can I say, but what a watch, coleen comes across as a strong lady who has been through a lot of issues and and been in the public eye.

It was so nice see her with her children, wanye, and also the perspective of her family and friends.

Plus I dont care what anyone says 99% of women online( snoop) and find a way round catching partners, or so called friends out, that have hurt them never mind it all been on show and been in public eye and then for one of them so called friends to tear you down what a low move from one mother to another just sell stories ,and to me, in certain scenarios coleen is relatable shes a mother, has great family bond ect.. I have say I admire her in this doc, she came across gracious, strong and a women who has put up with alot, and at the same time in this didnt sit and tear down RV either she literally called her out, didnt lower her standards,held her self very well some them texts must been so hurtful to read, but it speaks volumes of how differnt they both are as women. Great watch.

Thus story is mildly entertaining, it's very vain, self gratifying and just a bit childish really, I mean for someone complaining about privacy to give more of it away for money seems slightly hypocritical.

I don't like RV but in that world of fake friendships and superficial connections the only thing that linked them was the WAG nickname next to them, their interactions were insincere and generic, it wasn't two close people in a row, it was two people only famous for who they've dated having a toxic row because the less famous one exploited the more famous one.

Social media bought the school hierarchy into the real world where rich, attractive or famous people are seen as higher importance and sadly too many working class people are addicted to this utter garbage.

It's an ok background show. Nothing remotely quality and very little reason to exist outside of narcissistic attention seeking.

I watched one episode of this so called 'documentary' and rue the time and braincells I lost viewing it. Of all the topics in the world, they chose possibly the most useless, C grade topic to make a topic on. Why should we care who leaked some images of some girlfriend of a random sport player? And to make it worse, The Sun (which is possibly, the nadir of journalism) makes it's mark too in this documentary.

I absolutely felt nothing in this documentary, just a sense of detachment and irony that the biggest problem in some people's lives can be images that they publicly and willingly post online.
