Rebekah Vardy has reportedly signed a mega-bucks deal to feature in a Wagatha Christie documentary about her intense legal battle with Coleen Rooney that dominated the headlines earlier this Summer.
The documentary, which is slated to air on Discovery+ in the coming months, will chart the duo’s high profile court battle.
The 40 year old wife of Leicester City football player Jamie Vardy hit the headlines in July after she famously lost a libel case against Coleen after her fellow WAG accused her of leaking information to the press.
Following her own “investigation” into the matter, Coleen had publicly declared that the source of the leaks was Rebekah's social media account, something she has always categorically denied.
In an attempt to clear her name, mum-of-five Rebekah, took Coleen to court to sue her for libel.
The judge however sided with Coleen in July and agreed that Rebekah was most likely the source of the leaked stories.
Now facing a reported £1.5million legal bill, Rebekah is said to be hoping the documentary will help to recoup some of those costs.
A source close to Rebekah told The Sun: “Becky has been inundated with offers ever since the trial ended. She has made no secret she believes she has been hard done by and is keen for her voice to be heard.
“Right now she is facing the prospect of a hefty legal bill and sees this documentary as a way to recoup some of the costs.
"Obviously her fee won’t be anything like the cost of her lawyers but it will help.”
OK! has reached out to Rebekah’s representatives for comment.
Becky had previously expressed her interest in telling her side of the story earlier this year, as she told TalkTV not long after her landmark loss, stating: “There’s been quite a few offers on the table for lots of different things already.”
She continued: “For me, it’s important to find something that inspires me and something that’s meaningful and that I really, really want to do.”
She added she had considered quitting life in the public eye but changed her mind, saying: “I did go through stages of thinking that, and then I thought, ‘I don’t know, no — probably not.’
“You’ll probably see me doing things that are different. I want to concentrate on the horses and the kids, rebuilding the lost time I’ve had dealing with all these stresses.”
