All anyone seems to be talking about right now is the brand-new documentary all about one of the most famous football couples - and it's not Posh and Becks.
Three-part Disney+ documentary Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story will uncover one of the biggest tabloid news stories in Britain and the context behind the iconic 'Wagatha Christie' moniker.
In the doc, Coleen shares Wayne's personal secret that finally helped her expose Rebekah Vardy. Check out the trailer here:

In case you need your memory jogging over the drama - the whole 'Wagatha Christie' ordeal started back in 2019.
Coleen turned into an amateur sleuth by performing a social media sting operation to get to the bottom of how private stories concerning herself and her family kept appearing in the media.
Coleen posted a fake story for Rebekah's eyes only where she claimed she was off to Mexico for fertility treatment in the hope that she and Wayne might finally have a girl.
She picked the story specifically because those close to her knew it couldn't be true, ruling out other potential suspects.
Wayne had had a vasectomy after the pair's fourth son - something Rebekah knew nothing about, which was the secret Coleen used to her advantage to allegedly catch out the fellow WAG.
In the doc, which drops on Disney+ today (18 October), Coleen says: "I thought about what information I was going to put on that story for only Rebekah’s account to see.
"I wanted to do a story I was certain there was no truth in whatsoever and it couldn’t have come from anyone else."
The documentary examines the circumstances that led to Coleen’s famous Twitter post that broke the internet, in which she claimed Rebekah, who is married to Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy, was the person behind the leaks.
Rebekah brought a libel case against Coleen, which was heard in the High Court but she lost the battle. She has always denied passing on the information to The Sun.
In July 2022, a judge declared that Coleen’s accusation was ‘substantially true’, while Rebekah said in a statement at the time that she was 'extremely sad and disappointed' by the decision.
Elsewhere in the doc, the mum-of-four opened up about Wayne's decision to get a vasectomy: "After the birth of every single one of my kids the press are always interested in whether I was going to have another baby. The big question always is, 'Would you like a girl?'
"I always thought I’d have few kids, maybe three at most. And then number four came along. Me and Wayne talked about him having a vasectomy.
"He said, 'After this baby that’s it, we’re not having any more!' And Wayne went and got the snip. I knew for sure we wouldn’t have any more."
Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, premieres on Disney+ in the UK and on Hulu in the US today (18 October).
