    To Wag-watch...

    Coleen Rooney, wife of English footballer Wayne, has created her own "whodunit?" plot to uncover who was leaking news off her private Instagram account.

    In a Scooby-Doo ending, Rooney's accused Rebekah Vardy, wife of Jamie, one of her husband's England teammates as the culprit.

    Vardy's denied the allegation.
