What does Wagatha Christie mean?
Wagatha Christie was the name given to the dispute between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy which was popularised by the British media.
It is a tongue-in-cheek portmanteau of the term 'Wag' (meaning footballers' wives and girlfriends) and Agatha Christie, an English novelist known for her detective stories.
The trial has prompted a number of documentaries and even a dramatisation. As well as the Disney+ documentary, BBC Three aired a production called 'Wagspiracy: Vardy v Rooney' in early 2023, while 'Vardy vs Rooney: The Wagatha Trial' was available to stream on Discovery+ in 2022.
Channel 4 produced a two-part drama around the events, called 'Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama', which was aired in 2022.
