Rebekah Vardy v Coleen Rooney: Why is it called the ‘Wagatha Christie’ trial?

LOOSE Women refused to give Peter Andre an easy ride this afternoon when he popped in for a cosy chat. The singer ended up getting quizzed over the moment Rebekah Vardy compared his private parts to a "miniature chipolata".

Peter Andre jokingly referred to his manhood as an "elephant" while discussing his Wagatha Christie controversy on Loose Women.Earlier this month, the 49-year-old star became embroiled in public speculation over resurfaced claims from Rebekah Vardy that his manhood was the size of a "chipolata".Opening up about the controversy on Friday's edition (May 27) of the ITV daytime show, Peter seemed to have a good sense of humour about the issue.During their discussion, Loose Women panellist Kaye Adams said: "I have got to ask you about the Wagatha Christie thing, I'm sorry."Peter replied: "Are you asking me to address the elephant in the room?"He later cheekily quipped while shrugging his shoulders: "Did I say elephant?"Peter later explained that while he didn't blame Rebekah for making the comments at the time, he was aggrieved that they had resurfaced during the trial.He said: "On reflection on that, I think it's not the fact that something was said... it's more about the fact that something's brought up again and again and again."At some point, you kind of go [enough is enough].
