It was called the most “ ill- advised vilification case since Oscar Wilde ”, and now observers will eventually get the inside scoop on the Wagatha Christie case in a new Channel 4 dramatisation of the events, featuring the fabulous Michael Sheen.
For those who, for whatever reason, did n’t follow every single second of the excruciatingly addicting court case back in May of this time after Coleen Rooney( woman of former footballer Wayne) intimately indicted Rebekah Vardy( woman of Leicester striker Jamie) of oohing information contained within her private Instagram stories to the press, Rebekah Vardy made the decision to sue Rooney for vilification.
In what will go down as some of the topmost court reiterations to date – Vardy’s agent accidentally “ dropping ” her phone full of substantiation in the North Sea being a particular highlight it came as no surprise that Vardy lost the case, leaving her to pick up themulti-million pound legal freights.
Recalcitrant until the very end, Vardy said the judge had “ got it wrong ” after her ruling. Indeed Jesse Armstrong could n’t script this gold.
Following the Caption- Grabbing Wagatha Christie Trial, It Was Not Long Before a Television Drama Grounded on the Story Was Blazoned.
Now, the stars who’ll play Coleen Rooney, Rebekah Vardy and their attorneys in a two- part film Vardy v Rooney A Courtroom Drama, which is grounded on reiterations from the ignominious calumniation hail, have been revealed.
The Channel 4 drama pledges to show” all of the inconceivable and unthinkable moments from a case that kept the public and media gripped”.
BAFTA- winning actress Chanel Cresswell, best known for her part in the This Is England series, will play Rooney, while Harry Potter and Game Of Thrones star Natalia Tena is set to portray Vardy.
There will also be a star turn from Michael Sheen- known for his descriptions of real- life numbers similar as Sir Tony Blair and broadcaster David Frost- who’ll appear as Rooney’s attractive barrister David Sherborne.
Mr Sherborne represented Johnny Depp in the actor’s 2020 calumniation claim against the publisher of the Sun, News Group journals( NGN), and also includes Diana, Princess of Wales, Hollywood actor Michael Douglas and model Kate Moss among his former guests.
Vardy’s barrister Hugh Tomlinson- whose former guests include the King, easyJet author Sir Stelios Haji- Ioannou and oligarch Roman Abramovich- will be portrayed by Simon Coury, best known for appearing in The Professor And The madcap.
‘ Their Every Move in the Courtroom Was Deconstructed’
Vardy sued Rooney for calumniation, and the case came to a head before in 2022 as the claim was heard at the High Court.
Vardy, 40, lost the case against 36- time-old Rooney, with the judge chancing Rooney’s post” mainly true”. Channel 4’s two- parter will recreate the” high drama, high stakes High Court vilification case. a case that had a huge impact on the lives of the two women at its heart and pelted the two sparring legal brigades into the limelight, where much like Rooney and Vardy, their every move in the courtroom was deconstructed and scrutinised in the press”.
The show will state latterly this time. In August, Disney also verified it was creating a three- part talkie series about the court battle, with” exclusive access” to Rooney.
