The story of British Twitter’s most talked about trial is about to hit screens, just in time for your pre-Christmas viewing.

Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama – a two-part dramatic retelling of the “Wagatha Christie” trial – is coming to Channel 4 this week, and might just be the courtroom drama we’ve all been waiting for.

It all started back in 2019 with the now infamous words of Colleen Rooney: “It’s ………Rebekah Vardy’s account” and public interest was re-energised with the High Court trial that kicked off in May.

Then, on 29 July this year, things finally came to a head in the courts, with a High Court judge ruling that Coleen Rooney’s iconic Instagram post outing Rebekah Vardy for leaking stories to The Sun newspaper was “substantially true”.

While the trial wasn’t allowed to be televised, we soon learned that Channel 4 were busy plotting their own take on things with a new series that will place us directly in the whole messy affair.

Here’s everything you need to know about it.
