Loose Women's Janet Street-Porter has come under fire after making a comment on Wayne Rooney's appearance. During Wednesday’s edition of the ITV lunchtime show, the presenter and her fellow panellists discussed the Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy trial.
The former England and Manchester United footballer has attended court with his wife for each of the six days of the trial so far, sitting in the front row of Court 13 in the Royal Courts of Justice. On Tuesday (May 17), the 36-year-old moved into the witness box to give his evidence to the packed courtroom.
He described the "traumatic" impact of the last two-and-a-half years on his wife Coleen as he gave evidence during the "Wagatha Christie" libel trial, which is taking a break today ahead of closing speeches on Thursday (May 19). In a viral social media post in October 2019, Mrs Rooney, also 36, said she had carried out a 'sting operation' and accused Mrs Vardy, 40, of leaking 'false stories' about her private life to the press.
