Wayne was obsessed with the case and wanted to go to law school

IF you were transfixed by the ins and outs of the Wagatha Christie case you were not alone...

Wayne Rooney became so obsessed he offered suggestions to wife Coleen's legal team and even considered signing up to law school.

The Birmingham City boss is a big fan of crime documentaries and supported his wife through her libel trial against Rebekah Vardy.

But his interest became so keen that he began to speak up in the daily debrief sessions - causing Coleen to tell him to "shut up".

The hilarious insight is one of many from the Wagatha Christie court case which comes to light in a new Disney+ documentary series about Coleen, 37.

Coleen's lead lawyer Paul Lunt said: "I'm not saying he is a modern day Columbo but certainly had we have given him a gown and a wig he was bang up for asking questions."
