Latest on Wagatha Christie docudrama
There will be plenty happening to keep viewers gripped across the two episodes of the docu-drama.
Speculation is already beginning on what is going to be featuring in the programme.
One key highlight of the drama could be the questioning surrounding Vardy’s relationship with The Sun.
Another part of the case that could be seen is Wayne Rooney’s stint in the witness box, as well as his “awkward” chat with Jamie Vardy in Euro 2016.
Additionally, viewers could also learn more about Vardy’s team allegedly dropping her phone in the North Sea. This incident sparked claims from Rooney’s team that Vardy was trying to destroy evidence.
However, Vardy’s team has always denied that this was the case.
