Plot Synopsis

Directed and produced by Lucy Bowden, COLEEN ROONEY: THE REAL WAGATHA STORY is a three-part documentary that goes inside one of the biggest British tabloid stories in the last decade with the woman at the center of it all. For the very first time, Coleen Rooney, one of Britain's most famous celebrities and wife of record-scoring footballer Wayne Rooney, reveals all as the documentary looks at the 2022 libel case. Uncovering one of the biggest tabloid news stories in Britain for the last decade, it reveals how Coleen 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 Coleen 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 explores how Coleen has had her life played out in public for the last 20 years. The incredible story is told through exclusive access to the woman at the heart of it all, alongside interviews with her family, legal team and key players involved in the resulting trial. All three episodes of COLEEN ROONEY: THE REAL WAGATHA STORY dropped on Wednesday, October 18, 2023 on Hulu.
