She details one situation that unfolded not long before Coleen believes Rebekah Vardy started leaking her private Instagram stories to the press.

It came after the footballer was caught driving home party girl Laura ­Simpson after a boozy night out in 2017.

And Wayne also revealed his shock denial in the doc - which previewed at Bafta in central ­London last night.

The former England football hero had been pulled over by police after the boozy night out.

He was three times the limit and driving the car of Simpson, then 29, who he met in a bar.

In the documentary, Coleen, 37, says the leaks that followed fuelled her paranoia and sense of betrayal at a time when she was considering finally leaving Wayne after years of drunken infidelities.

She believes that the first leak — giving an insight into the state of the Rooneys’ marriage — came as she reeled from Wayne’s drink-driving arrest.

She explains: “It was just sickening. I’ve had that feeling in my stomach a few times and I’d never wish anyone to feel that.

“You do think, ‘Do I actually know this person?’ when things like that happen . . . you’re not the person I married and you’re not the person I want you to be.”

She adds: “Wayne wanted it all to go back to normal but it wasn’t as easy as that. I was still mad and I just didn’t know what the future was for us as a couple.

“I said to him, ‘I just can’t carry on with this’.”

She then packed up the kids and went to stay at her mum's house - posting a photo on her private social media.

It was then that Coleen thought the leaks began.

Wayne, 37, recalled the fateful night in tell-all Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, too.

Wayne says: “You know, I’m driving another girl’s car and she’s in the passenger seat, it doesn’t look great. I know what it was but I also know what it looked like.

“Yeah, she (Coleen) wasn’t happy, of course she wasn’t happy, but to be honest I can’t even remember speaking to the girl in the bar, never met her before in my life.

“So there was never any talk of anything happening, or going to happen.

“I knew Coleen was the girl you wanted to marry, to have kids with and spend the rest of my life with.

“To put myself in a position where I can almost throw that away is so silly and stupid of me and it’s not what I want at all.”

In the doc, Coleen also revealed how she thought Rebekah pretended to be shocked after she leaked stories about the couple.
