Rebekah Vardy breaks silence after 'Wagatha Christie' court case loss

Rebekah Vardy has broken her silence on Instagram after losing a libel trial involving herself and Coleen Rooney.

In a viral social media post in October 2019, Mrs Rooney, 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. The wife of former England star Wayne Rooney publicly claimed Mrs Vardy's account was the source behind three fake stories she had posted on her private Instagram account.

Rebekah who is married to Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, denied leaking the stories and sued her fellow footballer's wife for libel, while Coleen defended the claim on the basis her post was "substantially true".
