Coleen Rooney revives 'Wagatha' Christie role in latest investigation

Coleen Rooney revived her famous 'Wagatha' Christie The mother-of-four has stepped back into the limelight in recent months following years dedicated to bringing up her children. She featured on the popular ITV programme I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here last year, finishing as runner-up behind McFly's Danny Jones. The 39 year old is teaming up with Paddy Power as the firm seeks to harness Coleen's sleuthing abilities in a fresh promotional clip on social media. The Irish bookmaker revealed they will be refunding all punters who backed teams that came second to Manchester City in the Premier League since 2011, reports the Liverpool Echo. Coleen found herself thrust into the public eye when Rebekah Vardy tried to take legal action against her for defamation following her viral social media post - which earned Wayne Rooney's wife the nickname "Wagatha Christie." A documentary broadcast in 2023 retold the saga from Coleen's viewpoint. It carries the title: "Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story" and can be viewed on ITVX. In a clip shared on Paddy Power's Instagram account, the company capitalises on Coleen's "Wagatha" investigative character as she assumes a position within the firm's Investigation Department in a humorous skit. Filmed in a mock detective office setting, Coleen applies her straightforward methodology to address the public's queries. Speaking about the collaboration, Coleen said: "Fans invest so much into football, emotionally and financially, and sometimes it feels like they don't get much back. This was a fun way to shine a light on that, whilst actually giving something back to the people who make the game what it is." This news follows hot on the heels of Coleen launching her own line with Applied Nutrition in January. The range boasted an array of health and wellness products including collagen, hydration, sleep, immunity and debloat. At the time of this exciting venture, Coleen spoke to the ECHO. She explained that stepping back into the limelight felt like a natural progression. She stated: "I had a lot of things going on in my life and my kids were only small. Now they are all getting that little bit older and I am ready to get back out there, do some work and media, which I've always enjoyed. My family always comes first and that was my main priority." It's also been confirmed that the Rooney family will be at the heart of a new series launching on Disney+. The show, currently under the working title "The Rooney's." will follow the lives of Wayne and Coleen. Disney has promised that the observational doc-series will present Coleen and Wayne Rooney in a way "we've never seen them before", alongside their family and friends. The ten-part series will chronicle Coleen as she embarks on fresh business ventures, whilst Wayne trades coaching duties for the school run. This Disney+ exclusive programme will provide unparalleled behind-the-scenes access, capturing the family as they weather the ups and downs of daily domestic life. Sean Doyle, executive director of Unscripted for Disney+, commissioned the series, with Jon Swain, Commissioning Executive, Unscripted for Disney+, serving as executive producer. Mr Doyle remarked: "We've seen great success over the past couple of years with our Disney+ Original unscripted series such as "Finding Michael", "Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story", "Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story" and more recently, "Flintoff". "Our distinctive offering of combining the most talked-about household names and their incredible life experiences has hit the right note with our audiences who are looking for authentic and captivating real-life stories."

Strictly Come Dancing fans 'disgusted' as controversial star joins line up

Some Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left 'disgusted' over one of its latest stars who has signed up for the upcoming series. The BBC Saturday night favourite began announcing its lineup in recent days, ahead of a September launch, but some fans are not happy with who has been chosen to compete. Thomas Skinner, who is best known for appearing on The Apprentice, will be showing off his footwork for judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Mosi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke in just a few weeks' time, but because he has become known for some of his controversial views that he has posted on social media, some fans demanded were not impressed. One fan wrote on X: "Disgusted that grifter Tom Skinner has got the #Strictly gig. Have the BBC not looked at his social media output?" to which someone replied: "Somebody who has different political opinions than me is on television. BAN THEM." but the initial tweeter insisted that is not what they meant, as X users in their droves demanded his social media history is checked, Mirror UK reports. Another person wrote: "Oh dear God no. You really think platforming a known bigot is the right way to go for a show which has already had more than its share of troubles?" and a third said: "Appalling booking - has the BBC not seen his social media output?" as some demanded that the broadcaster check his online output. When it comes to checking his social media, one fan said: "They probably have, which is why they haven't tagged his account in the announcement!! What a bizarre choice from them!" but another fan Strictly enthusiast went as far to say: "I'm so serious, I loved this years #Strictly line up but casting Thomas Skinner has completely ruined the WHOLE thing," The 32-year-old Essex-born businessman, now renowned for his thriving pillow and mattress empire, initially rose to prominence on the 2019 series of Lord Alan Sugar's BBC programme, where he made it through to week nine of the competition. Also known for his candid videos on social media platform X, Skinner's posts about business, politics and everyday life have garnered hundreds of thousands of followers. His social media presence has since sparked an extraordinary friendship with US Vice President JD Vance, Donald Trump's running mate. President JD Vance recently enjoyed beers and a barbecue with The Apprentice star Thomas Skinner (Image: iamtomskinner/X) Vance has shown support for the businessman on X after Tom claimed he received death threats and "vile comments about my children" after he posted a series of tweets in which he said "something's gone wrong" in the UK and said "there is nothing wrong with being proud of where you're from" Just days ago, Tom shared a post alongside Vance, where the two were pictured together having met up for a barbecue. Hewrote: "Here is a pic of Me and Vice President @JDVance towards the end of the night after a few beers I'm overdressed in my suit, but when the VP invites you to a BBQ, you don't risk turning up in shorts an flip-flops Cracking night in the beautiful English countryside with JD, his friends and family. Once in a lifetime. Bosh!" In a second tweet, he added: "When the Vice President of the USA invites ya for a BBQ an beers, you say yes. Unreal night with JD and his friends n family. He was a proper gent. Lots of laughs and some fantastic food. A brilliant night, one to tell the grand kids about mate. Bosh!"
