Coleen Rooney is set to release a tell-all documentary about her court battle with Rebekah Vardy with ‘Wagatha Christie’ in the title despite her rival trademarking the phrase earlier this year

The legal brawl between WAGS Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy had the nation transfixed last summer. And it seems far from over as hostilities are brewing over Ms Rooney’s forthcoming three-piece big bucks tell all about the affair.

The problem is that the show, made by Dorothy Street Pictures for Disney+, would be titled Wagatha Christie: Coleen’s Story.

Earlier this year, however, Ms. Vardy filed for a trademark on the phrase “Wagatha Christie,” which she was granted.

The view on her part is that Coleen shouldn’t be using it – and neither should Disney+. As a result, there is one last minor dispute between the two women.

Yesterday, the streaming giant announced that it was indeed on their agenda for this fall and titled: “Three-part Coleen Rooney documentary (working title).” However, a source said the words “Wagatha Christie” are in the title.

A source said: ‘Becky owns the trademark and the fact is that Wagatha can’t be used unless she licenses it. They can’t use it and they are aware that they can’t use it. They are well informed.’

The documentary, scheduled for October, is sure to embarrass Ms. Vardy. It will tell the story from Coleen’s side – how she came to suspect her fellow WAG of betraying confidential data, how she proved it was Ms. Vardy’s account – and how she felt as she typed that inflammatory tweet that ended : “It’s … Rebekah Vardy’s account.”

In that October 2019 tweet, she said she limited the number of people who could see her stories to just one account — and yet the leaks came.

She was dubbed “Wagatha Christie” when her post went viral, forcing Becky, then heavily pregnant with her fifth child, to return from a vacation in Dubai.

Becky denied being responsible for the leaks and sued Coleen for libel, with the case eventually going to trial in May last year.

However, she lost her claim when the judge ruled in July that Coleen’s post was “substantially true.”

Justice Steyn said it was “likely” that her then-agent, Caroline Watt, “undertook the direct deed” by passing information to The Sun newspaper.

The trial has been turned into a show titled ‘Vardy V Rooney: The Wagatha Christie trial’ and a two-part Channel 4 drama.

The lawsuit included the highly embarrassing revelation of WhatsApp conversations between Becky and Caroline Watt in which Becky repeatedly called Coleen Rooney a ‘c***’ and added, ‘nasty b****…I hate her very much ! She thinks she’s great… I’d love to leak those stories.” Becky said this message was about someone else.

Becky Vardy, 41, received the final bill of costs in April last year, which was a whopping £1.8 million. Becky was told to pay Coleen an interim payment of £800,000 last autumn. She believes the charges are too high and plans to take a legal challenge, hoping to get Coleen’s lawyers back to court to explain why the charges are so high.

In a statement, Coleen’s attorneys, Brabners, said: ‘Inevitably, the way a case is conducted has a direct impact on the costs actually incurred in conducting a case. An example of this concerns the fees for forensic IT experts. The task of the IT experts was to review the digital evidence provided to them. But if the court has determined that digital evidence has been deliberately erased or destroyed, the IT expert’s job is significantly expanded to track down the relevant audit trails to prove that the evidence has been deleted.”

Paul Lunt, head of litigation at the Brabners law firm, said: “Cost budgets are made at the start of these cases, almost two years before the final decision in this case. They are only “best estimates” of the costs likely to be incurred if the case goes as expected. ‘If a case develops in a special or unexpected way, the costs will often increase considerably compared to what was initially foreseen. That goes for both sides and I wouldn’t be surprised if Mrs Vardy’s own costs came in the region of £4 million.’

Ms. Vardy reinvented herself as a TV presenter and fronted Rebekah Vardy: Jehovah’s Wittes and Me on Channel 4, in which she reflected on her own experiences growing up in the religion and watching her interview others.

She then considers a project focused on homelessness, as she herself was homeless in her teens after being sexually assaulted.

She also hopes to make a film about female prisoners and their experiences, with the possibility of filming in a prison. Meanwhile, Coleen has already awarded an interview to Vogue magazine at home and will be the October cover girl.

Husband Wayne is in America while managing DC United in Washington.

The phrase Wagatha Christie, coined by comedian Dan Atkinson in 2019, was a trademark of the London Entertainment Inc Ltd company.

The trademark covers broadcasting, clothing, non-alcoholic beverages, education and beauty and she now has the right to approve its use by others. A source told The Sun in April: ‘This trademark is Becky’s two fingers at Coleen and all the misery that comes with ‘Wagatha Christie’. Becky is crafty and knew people would try to monetize the phrase. She now owns the UK trademark and would consider expanding it to other areas if she felt it was necessary. “For example, if someone wants to print the logo on a mug, they’re infringing the trademark if they don’t ask for permission. However, it is a legal gray area in some respects and that will be considered on a case-by-case basis.”
