Coleen Rooney posts sweet festive family photo ahead of Wagatha Christie drama airing

Coleen Rooney has shared a snap of her family trip to see Santa on the eve of the airing of courtroom drama about her legal trial.

The Rooney family headed to see the big man in red at Lapland UK with their three eldest boys soaking up the magical festive event.

Coleen and Wayne were all smiles as they were snapped in Santa's grotto and were keen to see if sons Kai, 13, Klay, 8, and Kit, 4, had been on the nice list.

Their youngest son Klay did not appear in the pic but was present in another shot on her timeline in a comical police line up with all the boys wearing matching Christmas pyjamas.

But, in a stark contrast to the families happy time enjoying the festivities, tonight the spotlight will once again be on Coleen's Wagatha Christie trial against Rebekah Vardy as the TV adaption of the trial airs tonight.
