Coleen Rooney stunned as she attended the premiere of her highly anticipated Disney+ documentary series.
The former TV personality, 37, looked gorgeous in a floor-length white skirt and strapless top as she posed for pics at the London event. The mum-of-four's series Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story launches exclusively on Disney+ in the UK on Wednesday, with a three-episode launch. It is set to explore the high-profile defamation case that dominated headlines in 2022, against fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy.
Coleen attended the launch of her documentary at The Soho Hotel on Tuesday. She kept her brunette locks tied back in a bun, while pairing black strappy heels with her white ensemble and topped off her look with neutral makeup and a pair of gold pearl earrings. The legal case was ignited in October 2019 when 37-year-old Coleen took to social media to sensationally accuse fellow WAG Rebekah, 41, of selling stories about her personal life to The Sun.

Rebekah furiously denied she had been leaking the information and sued Coleen for libel - with the case resulting in a high-profile high court trial which ended in July last year ruling in Coleen's favour.
The new Disney Plus series promises to lift the lid on the whole drama. The compelling three-parter is told through Coleen's recollections, including interviews with her family, legal team and key players involved. In the trailer, Coleen broke her strong demeanor as she admitted to losing herself throughout the case.

"It was just constantly on my mind. I was struggling. My dad said to me 'you're just not you anymore'," Coleen said in the trailer. "Don't play games with a girl who can play better." The series will examine 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.
Coleen is set to earn more money than her football manager husband Wayne after signing the multi-million pound deal with Disney+. However, it hasn't been all plain sailing for her, with insiders claiming the star ran the risk of being forced to change the working title of the new three-parter after Rebekah trademarked the iconic 'Wagatha Christie' phrase earlier this year. As well as the case itself, it will explore how Coleen has had her life played out in public for the last 20 years.
Former I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! contestant Rebekah won't be sticking around to watch Coleen's documentary as she was snapped at Heathrow Airport on Tuesday with her youngest children. Rebekah, who is married to footballer Jamie Vardy, was all smiles as she made her way through the packed airport. The mum-of-five went on to share a snap of her child asleep on the plane on Instagram and an image of her location once she landed - captioning the sunny snap: "And chill [wine emoji]." The WAG is yet to explicitly comment on Coleen's upcoming tell-all Disney+ series but did take a cheeky swipe at Coleen in August - branding the Scouse star "boring" and seemingly accusing Coleen of attention seeking.
