In her new documentary, Coleen revealed the physical and mental pain she was put through during the infamous 'Wagatha Christie' trial, which centred around her claims that Vardy had been leaking stories about her to the press.

Coleen is seen breaking down into tears as she revealed the mental anguish she suffered as a result of the case.

It is just one of a series of new claims made about the infamous High Court battle.

Another is that her husband, former Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney, considered training to be a lawyer because he had become so fixated by the trial.

Now, Rebekah has broken her silence as Coleen's Disney+ documentary prepares to hit screens on Friday.

It started when Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press.

Rebekah subsequently sued Coleen for libel in 2020. The court eventually dismissed Rebekah's libel claim on the basis that Coleen's statements were 'substantially true'.
