The 'Wagatha Christie' case is coming to Channel 4 soon as a new two-part drama has been cast.
In the two-part drama, viewers will see how events unfolded when Rebekah sued Coleen for libel in June 2020.
This comes after Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking fake stories from a private Instagram Story to the press, something which she has always denied.
Coleen then famously tried to catch out her former friend and exposed her claims to her Instagram followers in dramatic fashion.
