Danielle Lloyd calls Rebekah Vardy a 'rat' in messages to Coleen Rooney

Danielle Lloyd has branded Rebekah Vardy a "rat" in a string of text messages amid the ongoing Wagatha Christie row.

The model, 48, messaged fellow WAG and pal Coleen Rooney after she revealed she had found the person who was leaking stories about her to the press.

On her private Instagram account, Wayne Rooney's wife, 35, shared: "I've finally cracked it and know exactly who's (sic) account it is!!!!"

After seeing the message, loyal Danielle - who was previously married to Tottenham legend Jamie O'Hara - responded: "She is rat feel ashamed for her (sick emoji)".

Real Housewives of Cheshire star Magali Gorre added: "What will her husband and family see her now - it’s it’s it’s shocking to me.

"How you find (sic) out was perfect (ok emoji) still painful (angry emoji) to find this out."

The messages were contained in court papers submitted to the High Court this week as the libel battle between the warring Wags erupted.

In recent days, Coleen recalled how she cried every week after moving into her first big house with Wayne.

The footballer has released a documentary about his life - including the ups and downs of his marriage to Coleen - which aired on Friday.

Coleen, who has been with the footballer since she was 16, moved away from the council estate in Croxteth where they grew up once Wayne became a success at Everton.

But life at the £900k mansion on Millionaire's Row in Formby wasn't all it cracked up to be.

"The thought of it was all fine and great. But then obviously you (Wayne) were away every weekend," she said in the new documentary Rooney.

"A tearful Coleen would be left alone in upmarket Formby when Wayne went to play football. They then moved to Manchester soon after that.

"I used to leave my mum’s and cry all the way home to mine," she said.

"It was all of a sudden, it was a matter of months. Everything just happened. We’ve always grown up quicker than what we were meant to, I think."

She says they found the press very hard to deal with and a "nightmare" growing up and adds: "You've got to learn quick about it. Accept criticism. We've had some unbelievable times that everyone's knew about, and then we've had some really bad times that everyone's knew about.

"So it's not like you can just go and hide away and deal with it yourselves.

"But that's what our whole world is like. Because people think they know you and then they'll go and tell someone else and they don't really know you that well."

The documentary is the chance for the pair to put on a united front and show how Wayne has matured in recent years. It is clear he feels he has changed.

Asked how he wants to be remembered, Wayne says: "Being a good person. For me it's important that people in terms of teammates, coaches, friends, family, they remember me for who I am rather than what I have done.
