<\/p>\nHer husband is already worth a fortune courtesy of his stellar football career, and now it appears that Coleen Rooney is catching up.<\/p>\n
The Mail can reveal that she was paid \u2018millions\u2019 for her new Disney+ documentary Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story which tells the story of her famous battle with fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy.<\/p>\n
Sources close to Mrs Rooney, 37, say that was paid in excess of \u00a31 million following a bidding war for the four-part series which airs four years after she posted on both her Twitter and Instagram accounts to accuse Mrs Vardy – the wife of Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy – of leaking stories about her to The Sun newspaper.<\/p>\n
Originally the documentary was heading in the direction of Disney\u2019s arch rival Netflix but bosses were so keen to get it that they offered the astonishing fee for it.<\/p>\n
One source said: \u2018What Coleen went through with Becky was pretty awful, there is no doubting that it was a really, really hard time for her and her family.<\/p>\n

The Mail can reveal that she was paid \u2018millions\u2019 for her new Disney+ documentary Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story which tells the story of her famous battle with fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018But her show was really in demand, everybody wanted it. Coleen is the one who the public had the most sympathy with and her inside story was always going to be gripping.<\/p>\n
\u2018She kept her counsel a lot more than Becky did throughout so there was always going to be a lot to share in it. But still, it is a lot of money, hopefully that will have made her feel better about losing four years of her life.\u2019<\/p>\n
The documentary, which airs on Wednesday has been made by production companies Dorothy Street Pictures and Lorton Entertainment for Disney.<\/p>\n
It will also be available in America on the popular streaming channel, Hulu in what could end up making the Rooneys household names in the US.<\/p>\n
Sources at Disney+ say that the promotional schedule has been carefully managed in a bid to lure as many viewers as possible to justify the cash.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Mrs Rooney will celebrate the film with a premiere at the Everyman Cinema in Liverpool in Liverpool where she is expected to be joined by Wayne and their four sons, Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and Cass, five.<\/p>\n
Her parents Colette and Tony are also due to be in attendance, as well as a number of the Rooneys\u2019 friends – including footballers and their wives.<\/p>\n
The programme sees Mrs Rooney reveal the moment she came close to ending her marriage to to former England captain Wayne over his drunken escapades with other women, telling him: \u2018I just can\u2019t carry on like this.\u2019<\/p>\n
She said she confronted former footballer Wayne after he was seen driving home with party girl Laura Simpson after a night out in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was just sickening. I\u2019ve had that feeling in my stomach a few times and I\u2019d never wish anyone to feel that.<\/p>\n
\u2018You do think, \u201cDo I actually know this person?\u201d when things like that happen… you\u2019re not the person I married and you\u2019re not the person I want you to be.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018Wayne wanted it all to go back to normal but it wasn\u2019t as easy as that. I was still mad and I just didn\u2019t know what the future was for us as a couple.<\/p>\n
\u2018I said to him, \u201cI just can\u2019t carry on with this\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n
