After her humiliating – and very expensive – court loss against Coleen Rooney, you'd think Rebekah Vardy would be trying her best to keep a low profile. But you’d be wrong, as it seems the 40-year-old WAG is incapable of keeping quiet.Just days after taking to Instagram to challenge Coleen to donate to charity the legal fees that Becky has been ordered to pay (Becky must reportedly shell out up to £1.5million of her rival’s legal costs as well as a reported £2m of her own), she’s now gone a step further by agreeing with a statement on social media questioning the state of Coleen's marriage to Wayne and saying she had "no morals".When mum-of-five Becky posted a loved-up picture of her and husband Jamie, one of her followers said, "Rise above em – the woman has no morals anyway as she's quite happy to put up with a guy whose [sic] messed her about over and over – awful lesson to the children girls and boys – says a lot about her character," to which Becky replied, "Very true."The follower went on to imply that Coleen, 36, only stayed with Wayne for the lifestyle and that she let him to treat her terribly, whereas Becky and Jamie have a genuine relationship.

After three years of legal wrangling, every detail of which was covered by a salivating media, Vardy lost the court case earlier this year. Screen adaptations – both factual and scripted – were inevitable, and Rooney was said to have had her pick of deals to choose from.
Which is why when it was revealed at the Edinburgh TV Festival in August that she would be working exclusively with Lorton on a docu-series (tentatively titled “Wagatha Christie”) for Disney+, there were audible gasps in the auditorium. Lorton founder and CEO Julian Bird is reluctant to give too much away, either about the discussions with Rooney or the docu-series, when he sat down to speak to Variety just weeks after the news broke. “Obviously, like everyone, there’s a fascination with the Wagatha story,” he says of how he came to partner with Rooney. “Once [the trial] exploded as a public phenomenon then those conversations naturally gravitated to that.” It helped that Lorton had not long ago worked
