Rebekah Vardy allegedly ignored agent's pleas to drop Wagatha Christie legal battle

Rebekah Vardy was allegedly begged by her PR agent not to pursue a legal battle with Coleen Rooney.

The ongoing libel legal battle is now famously known as the 'Wagatha Christie' case after Mrs Rooney posted on Instagram accusing Mrs Vardy of leaking stories posted to her personal account. The wife of Jamie Vardy denies the claim and is suing Coleen, 36, for defamation.

Mrs Vardy took to the stand for much of last week during the trial, crying on several occasions as she was questioned by Coleen's barrister, including when she was accused of throwing Caroline Watt, her agent, "under the bus". Now, a friend of the agent has claimed that Ms Watts begged Mrs Vardy not to go ahead with the court case, reported The Mirror.
