The Wagatha Christie battle has been reignited as Rebekah Vardy lands a Netflix series, while Coleen Rooney eyes up a deal with Disney+. 

Rebekah, 43, is in talks along with husband Jamie Vardy, 38, about a documentary on his amazing football career, from non-league football to Premier League champion striker with Leicester City. 

But it is also set to feature his wife and their glamorous domestic lifestyle – and if viewers like it, a spin-off ‘at home with’ series could be created, the Sun reports. 

It comes after her WAG rival Coleen Rooney, 39, married to legendary footballer Wayne Rooney, also 39, signed a deal with Disney+ last month for a £10million fly-on-the-wall reality show about their lives.

The women have been fierce opponents since the high-profile Wagatha Christie trial, which saw Rebekah sue Coleen for libel in 2022 after she claimed Rebekah had leaked stories to the press in a now legendary social media post from October 2019. 

With Rebekah having lost the case, the Vardys’ documentary, set to air later this year, would go some way towards paying her legal costs and the portion of Coleen’s she was ordered to pay – all totting up to an eye-watering roughly £3million.

It has long been known a Netflix documentary about Jamie was in the works – but it was not thought, until now, that Rebekah and their home life would feature.  

A TV source said Netflix have taken an interest in the Vardys ‘because of their natural love of all things controversial’. 

They added the platform had also noted the success of the 2023 David Beckham documentary, ‘not just because it touched on football but because of the scenes of domestic life that came with it’. 

They said: ‘Though this will be on a different level to the Beckham documentary, they want to tap into some of that with the Vardy show and it’s undoubtedly a real coup for her.

‘Getting so much “airtime” on Netflix gives her a real platform – and scope to branch out.’ 

It comes after Rebekah finally called full-time on her six-year Wagatha Christie legal tussle with former pal Coleen Rooney after being ordered to pick up a mega court bill. 

The mother-of-five said earlier this month she was ‘respectfully disappointed’ to have failed in her final bid to have Coleen’s £1.85 million court costs reduced.

A High Court judge ruled earlier this month that Coleen’s lawyers did not commit misconduct after being accused of ‘deliberately’ understating some of her costs in the high-profile showdown.

It means Rebekah – who lost the libel case – now faces picking up 90 per cent of Coleen’s costs, reckoned to work out at about £1.6million.

In a statement, a spokesman for her said: ‘We are … respectfully disappointed that… our appeal was not successful.

‘Now we just wish to move on and look to the future. We will be making no further comment at this time.’

The fierce dispute finally concluded just before the Mail on Sunday revealed Coleen had signed a deal with streaming giant Disney+ after it triumphed in a bidding war against Amazon. 

After months of back and forth between the rival broadcasters, Disney+ won the race  last month, and cameras will go inside the Rooneys’ £20 million super-mansion in Cheshire. 

The ‘at-home-with’ format is expected to see former England footballer Wayne Rooney appear alongside his wife – runner-up on last year’s I’m A Celebrity – and their four sons: Kai, 14, Kit, 11, Klay, eight, and Cᴀss, six.

Sources close to the project say that Coleen, 39, will be paid £5 million with the remainder going to production company Lorton Entertainment, which made her previous show, Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story. 

The Rooneys were reckoned to be worth around £134 million – ten times the Vardys’ estimated £15 million – back in 2022 when a High Court judge found in favour of Coleen. 

Netflix declined to comment when asked about the upcoming deal.
