Rebekah Vardy “appears to accept” her agent could be behind the leaks about Coleen Rooney's private life, Mrs Rooney’s barrister has claimed at the High Court. The pair are currently locked in court battle after Mrs Rooney accused Mrs Vardy of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the media in October 2019 after carrying out a months-long "sting operation".
Mrs Rooney, the wife of former Manchester United star and current Derby County manager Wayne, was dubbed "Wagatha Christie" when she publicly claimed her fellow footballer’s wife shared the fake stories she had posted on her personal Instagram account with The Sun newspaper.
Mrs Vardy, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, denies the accusations and is suing Mrs Rooney for libel, with the full trial expected to begin next month on May 9 and last seven days.
