The WAG, 40, is reportedly torn between two options as she plans to “document the emotional turmoil” she felt during the procedure.
A source told the Mirror: “The show will document her emotional turmoil, both before, during and after her trial, which continues to this day.”

The insider confirmed the documentary would not include trial footage, adding: “Becky has always refused to allow cameras to track her during the libel case, unlike Coleen.”
MailOnline has reached out to Rebekah’s representatives for comment.
It comes when Coleen has signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Disney+ for the rights to an all-encompassing Wagatha Christie documentary.
The streaming giants, who beat Netflix, Amazon Prime and Discovery to secure the new three-part series, confirmed at the Edinburgh TV Festival that they had won the exclusive rights to Coleen’s story.

“In a story for our time, Wagatha Christie will reveal how determined and resilient Coleen had to be to protect her family from the challenges of the traditional and social media landscapes.”

A source told The Sun: ‘This is a huge deal for Coleen, in every way. For the first time in 20 years, she becomes the main breadwinner.
She also tells her own side of the story in terms of Wagatha Christie. Since her first devastating social media outing with Rebekah, she has remained steadfastly silent.

Drama: Coleen won their Wagatha Christie libel battle last month, leaving Rebekah with a multi-million pound fee to pay her
Coleen and Rebekah are set for one last dramatic Supreme Court showdown over who will foot the multimillion-pound bill for their precious ‘Wagatha Christie’ libel.
Sources close to Coleen – who won the case last month – told The Mail on Sunday she will fight to ensure that Rebekah pays the full amount, estimated to be up to £3million.
Usually a winning party will have to pay about 30 percent of the costs.
But Coleen’s team claims the judge’s scathing ruling that Becky sold stories about her to The Sun newspaper means it’s “unthinkable” that she won’t have to pay the full amount.
Ms Justice Steyn ruled last month that Becky and her agent Caroline Watt had leaked stories about Coleen, the wife of ex-England skipper Wayne.
Tough: Rebekah sued her former boyfriend for libel over a now-famous social media post in which Coleen described how she set up a “sting operation” by posting fake stories to select followers on her private Instagram account to discover who’s stories about her leaked to The Sun (pictured together at Euro 2016)
Rebekah sued her former boyfriend for defamation over a now-famous social media post in which Coleen described how she set up a “sting operation” by posting fake stories to select followers on her private Instagram account to discover who’s telling stories about her. leaked to The Sun.
The October 2019 “big reveal” post ended: “It’s… Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
After Rebekah took legal action, Coleen offered her a “drop hands” offer, which meant they would both walk away and pay their own costs. She also suggested making a donation to charity.
But Rebekah refused, leading to a costly Supreme Court trial. Now, after her win, Coleen wants her rival to pay.
A source close to Coleen said: ‘Coleen didn’t want this to happen. She knew the money could be better spent on so many other things, but she won’t let Rebekah get away without paying the full cost.
“She tried to sort this out early on, but Rebekah wouldn’t have it. And if you look at the outline of the verdict, it’s inconceivable that a judge wouldn’t agree that she will pay them in full. Let’s not forget, this action was brought by Rebekah and she lost spectacularly.’
At a preliminary hearing in March last year, the cost was estimated at £1.3 million.
Now, after the two-week Supreme Court hearing, reports claim the total could be £3 million.
Rebekah’s lawyer, Hugh Tomlinson QC, reportedly charges £10,000 a day, while his counterpart, David Sherborne, charges around £8,000.
There is speculation that Rebekah and her husband, Leicester City striker Jamie, may have to sell their Portuguese villa to pay the legal bill.
