Coleen Rooney’s Wagatha Story viewers jest at Wayne following his desire to become a lawyer due to the Vardy case: ‘Envisaging the sensational courtroom drama!’

Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story viewers have been poking fun at Wayne after he said that the Rebekah Vardy libel court case made him want to be a lawyer.

The former England striker, 37, considered signing up to law school after he supported his wife through her trial.  

Coleen said in the show: ‘He was then going to apply for law school and he had all these plans!’ 

Wayne later said: ‘Yeah, it was interesting because I do like crime documentaries and in particular the different techniques the two barristers used.’ 

Viewers have found the humour in his unexpected revelation, with one saying on Twitter: ‘Not much news to make us laugh but ‘Wayne Rooney was so obsessed with Wagatha Christie case that he considered training to become a lawyer’ made me spill my coffee.’

Another said: ‘We could have been living in a world where Wayne Rooney and Kim Kardashian were opposing lawyers in an international court case.’ 

A third joked: ‘Wayne Rooney wanting to be a lawyer and then being blocked by Coleen is one of the all time great football tragedies, just imagine the blockbuster responses in court.’ 

Someone else questioned as they shared a series of crying face emojis: ‘Wayne Rooney wanted to be a lawyer? #ThisMorning.’

Others shared images of Wayne transformed with a barrister outfit as they laughed at the revelation.

Wayne revealed he got so swept up in preparing for the trial he wanted to take on the career change until Coleen shut him down.

Wayne would often attend the daily briefings with Coleen and her lawyers, Paul Lunt and David Sherborne, where he would suggest legal arguments. 

After one particular interjection from her husband, Coleen recalls saying to him: ‘Wayne shut up and let David or Paul speak’.

She said: ‘He was then going to apply for law school and he had all these plans,’ before adding that the ‘little moments’ carried them through. 

Coleen’s lawyer Jamie Hurworth said: ‘Once the day was finished we would have a little debrief with Wayne and Coleen. 

‘I had not dealt with Wayne that much before the trial. But he was just fascinated by the whole thing.

‘Wayne started suggesting, like, legal argument that we should start running.’

Coleen’s lead lawyer Paul Lunt added: ‘I’m not saying he is a modern day Columbo but certainly had we have given him a gown and a wig he was bang up for asking a few questions.’

Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story dropped on Disney+ on Wednesday, offering an inside tale into what exactly happened between warring WAGs Coleen and Rebekah.

Revealing that she felt compelled to make the show in order to explain the situation ‘in her own words’, Coleen didn’t hold back as she told the story from start to finish.

With her first leaked post coming out in 2017, the mother-of-four revealed there had been plenty of drama behind closed doors in the five years leading up to the famous Wagatha Christie trial.

With a judge ruling in Coleen’s favour after Rebekah sued her for libel, she revealed the key elements to winning her case as well as exactly how she managed to uncover Rebekah’s deception in a two-year solo investigation.
