Chanel Cresswell: 'Coleen is a totally different woman now - she's not taking anyone's s***' ⬇️ The actor talks about playing Coleen Rooney in the new ‘Wagatha Christie’ drama – and why there’s no villain in this story
Chanel Cresswell on Vardy v Rooney: ‘Coleen’s a totally different woman now – she’s not taking anyone’s s***’The actor talks about playing Coleen Rooney in the new ‘Wagatha Christie’ drama – and why there’s no villain in this story“If it scares you, you should do it!” says Chanel Cresswell. The actress is telling me why she accepted the role of Coleen Rooney in Channel 4’sto our screens.
During the trial, we saw the women strutting in and out of court clutching handbags that cost more than a deposit for a flat, with their husbands in tow. We heard tall tales about phones that mysteriously fell into the North Sea. WhatsApp messages between Vardy and her agent were read out, which pulled back the curtain of the grubby world of tabloid celebrity and painted a damning picture of her character. In the end, Vardy somehow came out of the trial looking even worse than she did before.
Surprisingly, Cresswell says she didn’t follow “Wagatha Christie” at the time. Pretty much everything she has learned about it was in preparation for the role. “We didn’t want to play into that and, as a viewer, you do feel compassion,” she says. “I think the show is very good at setting a level playing field between these women. I could see from the script it wasn’t a hate campaign towards just one party.”
