The cast of the upcoming film about the Wagatha Christie case have been revealed and it is absolutely stacked.
Channel 4 are recreating the trial of the year - which saw Rebekah Vardy's claim of libel dismissed by a judge who ruled in favour of Coleen Rooney after Rooney accused Vardy of leaking posts from her private Instagram account to the Sun newspaper - in a new film.
We now know who will play both women as well as the respective husbands, friends and indeed legal councils.

As the Mirror UK report, BAFTA-winning actress and This Is England star Chanel Cresswell takes the role of Coleen Rooney in the Channel 4 flick.
Game of Thrones and Harry Potter actor Natalia Tena will play Rebekah Vardy.
Veteran actor Michael Sheen will appear as Rooney's barrister David Sherborne.
Vardy's barrister, Hugh Tomlinson, will be portrayed by Simon Coury, best known for appearing in The Professor and The Madman.
The ladies' husbands Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy, who supported their wives in court, will be played by Dion Lloyd and Marton Nagyszokolyai.
The two-part film will recreate the high drama, high stakes High Court defamation case that had a huge impact on the lives of the two women at its heart and catapulted the two sparring legal teams into the spotlight.
It will be created from the real court transcripts, and Channel 4 say Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama will "bring viewers all of the incredible and unbelievable moments from a case" that kept the public and media gripped.
Earlier this summer, Vardy lost a libel battle against Rooney over a viral social media post, after a High Court judge found it was "substantially true".
In the post, Rooney said she had carried out a months-long "sting operation" and accused Vardy of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the press.
Her sleuthing efforts saw her dubbed Wagatha Christie in reference to the popular mystery writer.
