THERE’S a scene in Channel 4’s new Wagatha Christie docu-drama, Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama, which wonderfully encapsulates the ridiculousness of the whole footballers’ wives saga.
It comes towards the end of episode one and sees Michael Sheen, playing Coleen Rooney’s lawyer David Sherborne, interrogating her rival Wag, Rebekah Vardy, (Natalia Tena) who struggles to explain why her publicist’s mobile phone had been conveniently dropped in the North Sea.
“Why is it that your solicitors do not tell us about that for four months?” asks Sherborne. “You see the shame is, Mrs Vardy, that [these WhatsApp messages] are lying at the bottom of the sea, in Davy Jones’s locker.” Vardy looks both exasperated and perplexed. “…who is Davy Jones?” she barks back, to not-so-stifled laughter from the press pack.
