Coleen Rooney 'changes' Disney+ series after clever move from Rebekah Vardy
Coleen Rooney is reportedly at risk of butting heads with Rebekah Vardy once again over her explosive Disney+ documentary which will focus on their infamous Wagatha Christie trial.
WAG Coleen, 37, is set to earn more money than her football manager husband Wayne after signing the multi-million pound deal with Disney+. The mum-of-four, who won the Wagatha Christie trial against arch nemesis Rebekah Vardy last year, is in the process of producing an exclusive tell-all documentary with the streaming giant.
However, it hasn't been all plain sailing for Coleen, as insiders now claim that the star ran the risk of being forced to change the working title of her new three-parter after Rebekah trademarked 'Wagatha Christie' earlier this year.
Those working on the hotly-anticipated show have now revealed how Disney+ bosses had chosen 'Wagatha Christie: Coleen’s Story' to be the original title of the series. However, they have since been forced to change the title of the production following Rebekah's legal move after trademarking the now iconic catchphrase.
Coleen has reportedly been forced to make a huge change to her Disney+ series"Becky’s clever trademarking of Wagatha Christie means she has got control of the situation. It’s pretty controversial of Disney to even consider using it because there is no way they’ll get it past Becky," a legal insider told The Sun.

Another source connected with those working on the Disney+ production told the publication: "Disney knows Coleen’s three-parter is going to be huge - so they don’t want anything getting in their way. The working title was decided a while back and if Becky is standing in their way, it would be a foolish move to try and take her on. The series speaks for itself in terms of how powerful and emotional it is, they don’t need unnecessary drama playing out around it.”
The three-part series, which is expected to air this winter on the streaming giant, will be portrayed from Coleen's perspective of how the dramatic ordeal changed her and her husband's lives as they spent weeks on end in court re-telling their experiences of Rebekah leaking stories about their lives.

The trial was centred around the now-famous Wagatha Christie post, which Coleen shared on her social media accusing Jamie Vardy's wife's Instagram account of leaking stories about her to the press.
Disney+ reportedly went head-to-head against rivals Netflix, Amazon Prime and Discovery to seal Coleen's signature, with the Liverpudlian mother-of-four being offered a lucrative salary to seal the deal.
The Mirror has contacted Coleen's representatives and a Disney+ spokesperson for comment on this story.
