Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy's 'Wagatha Christie' trial paused by judge

Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy's libel trial has been paused today as lawyers prepare for its final day tomorrow (Thursday).

In a viral social media post in October 2019, Mrs Rooney, 36, said she had carried out a “sting operation” and accused Rebekah Vardy, 40, of leaking “false stories” about her private life to the press.
