Jo Bostock

Available for over a year

Love it or hate it, the dispute between Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney captured many headlines earlier this year. The trial was nicknamed "Wagatha Christie" after the amateur sleuthing by Coleen Rooney. She conducted a “sting” operation to find out who was leaking stories from her private Instagram, and blamed the account of Rebekah Vardy. Rebekah who's married to Leicester City star player Jamie Vardy - sued Coleen Rooney for libel - and lost. Now, the story is being taken to the stage - and tickets sold out within minutes. Jo caught up with director Lisa Spirling.
