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.
