Wagatha Christie merch is selling like hotcakes on eBay - and it's incredible

Brits are cashing in on Coleen Rooney’s spat with Rebekah Vardy by flogging “Wagatha Christie” themed merchandise, perfect for fans that want to show their support to the war of the wags.

Savvy sellers are selling T-shirts, phone cases, badges and even Christmas cards with mum-of-four Coleen’s new nickname emblazoned on them.

There are currently 316 items to buy on eBay alone.

For just £7.96, fans of the amateur detective can buy a black t-shirt with ‘Wagatha Christie’ on it.

Other Coleen-themed clothes include hoodies, vests and jumpers.

Punters can also purchase a £2.95 Christmas card stating: “Hope your Christmas isn’t as dramatic as Coleen vs Vardy.”

It also has Wagatha Christie in a magnifying glass on it.

And fans can now make a brew in their own Wagatha Christie mug - which costs £12.

Stylist Ozzie Shah claims he has made £50,000 already from flogging themed T-shirts.

And more mainstream brands are also selling special gear.

London fashion company Skinny Dip has started selling Wagatha Christie phone cases for £15, including one with the pun slogan ‘This is a case of Wagatha Christie.’

The wife of ex-England captain Wayne used her detective skills to uncover that someone operating Rebekah’s Instagram account had been leaking stories to The Sun.

The 33-year-old was quickly dubbed Wagatha Christie, in homage to the Queen of Crime.

People even changed her date of birth on Wikipedia to that of iconic author Agatha.

Dad-of-two Dan Atkinson is thought to have coined the hilarious nickname.

The 39-year-old said: “I knew the tweet was a neat pun, but anyone who says they can guess what will go crazy is lying, aren’t they?

“Pretty funny really for a four word tweet, I have had a marriage proposal and suggestions that I become prime minister and also be knighted.”

Pregnant Rebekah, 37, wife of Leicester City ace Jamie, has strenuously denied leaking the stories.

It is reported that the former friends are now only talking through their lawyers.
