The Wagatha Christie saga is set to continue long after this week's High Court showdown, with Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy both poised to tell their side of the story on TV.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Mrs Rooney, the wife of former England striker Wayne, has signed a deal to make a documentary. 

Filming is thought to have already started and it is believed that the show will air on streaming giant Netflix.

Meanwhile, Mrs Vardy, who is suing Mrs Rooney for libel, is believed to be in negotiations with Piers Morgan for an interview on his new chat show on Talk TV.

Sources say both women could pocket six-figure sums for spilling details of their battle since Mrs Rooney, 35, dramatically took to social media in October 2019 to allege that stories about her that had been leaked to The Sun newspaper had originated from Mrs Vardy's Instagram account.

Mother-of-four Mrs Rooney is working with Dorothy Street Pictures, the company behind the much anticipated Pamela Anderson documentary which will be shown on Netflix.

A source said: 'Coleen has done the clever thing and got in to tell her story before someone else muscles in.

'She will be really hands-on and wants to tell the truth about what went on. Filming started a few weeks ago and there is huge excitement around it.

'The programme is most definitely going in the direction of Netflix. It will be classy, and speak from the heart.

'There were various offers and discussions about who would make this documentary but Coleen loved that Dorothy Street is run by women.'

Mrs Vardy, the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie, is said to be in talks with Morgan's team for a lucrative tell-all interview.
