ITV has licensed Disney+ original, Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, from Disney Entertainment as the broadcaster readies to launch a new season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, which features Rooney as a contestant
In Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, Rooney reveals all as the documentary looks at the libel case that gripped the nation in 2022. The story is told through exclusive access to the woman at the heart of it all, alongside interviews with her family and legal team involved in the resulting trial.
Uncovering one of the biggest tabloid news stories in Britain for the last decade, it reveals how Rooney turned amateur online sleuth to find an explanation for why private stories concerning herself and her family continued to appear in the media. It examines the circumstances that led to her infamous Instagram post that ‘broke the internet’ all the way to her successfully defending herself in one of the UK’s highest-profile High Court defamation cases of recent years. As well as the case itself, it will explore how Rooney has had her life played out in public for the last 20 years.
Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, will air on ITVX and ITV2.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! returns on November 17th at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX and STV.
