Coleen Rooney teases spotlight return in fashion campaign with son Kai after Wagatha drama

Coleen Rooney has teased a powerful return to the spotlight after her blockbuster Wagatha Christie court case.

The WAG, 36, shared photos of herself starring in a fashion campaign for designer boutique Cricket with her eldest son Kai, 12 on Instagram on Tuesday.

Last month, Coleen's arch rival Rebekah Vardy was ordered to pay Rooney £1.5million in legal costs after she lost the High Court case she brought against her fellow footballer's wife.

And Coleen's career appears to be going from strength-to-strength following the victory, after having signed a three part TV series with Disney+ about the legal battle, the mother-of-four has now become the face of the luxury store in Liverpool.

Dressed in a £1,170 Balenciaga shirt and matching trousers, Coleen showed her love for all things designer as she proudly wrapped an arm around Kai, who bore a striking resemblance to his footballer father Wayne.

Dressed in a black blazer and a Versace white T-shirt, the youngster gave his best pose.

Coleen, who also shared some behind-the-scenes shots from the day, wrote on Instagram : "Loved being involved in the shoot with @cricketfashion. I am officially part of the CRICKET Community!".

Danielle Lloyd commented: "Beautiful".

At just 12-years-old Kai has already begun stepping out of his parents' shadow and forming a modelling career.

The eldest of the Rooney boys signed a big deal with Puma back in July after a successful season in Manchester United's academy.

Coleen is set to tell her side of the Wagatha Christie investigation and court case in a new three part TV series for Disney+.

The streaming giants confirmed back in August at the Edinburgh TV Festival they had won the exclusive rights to work with Coleen, 36, and have given the show the working title of Wagatha Christie.

Describing the project they wrote in an announcement: "The three-part series will take viewers from the circumstances that led to her infamous Instagram post that ‘broke the Internet’ all the way to Coleen being a successful defendant in one of the UK’s highest-profile High Court defamation cases brought against her by Rebekah Vardy.

"In a story for our times, Wagatha Christie will reveal how fiercely determined and resilient Coleen had to be in order to protect her family from the challenges presented by the traditional and social media landscapes."

Rebekah lost her high-profile libel claim against Coleen in July when Mrs Justice Steyn ruled Coleen's viral social media post accusing the WAG of leaking her private information to the press was "substantially true".

In an order made public earlier this month, the judge ruled Vardy should pay 90% of Coleen's costs.

In a statement, Mrs Justice Steyn stated the total legal bill which Coleen is yet to finalise with the court but was estimated by Coleen's lawyer, Paul Lunt, is estimated to be around £1.66million.
