Rebekah Vardy is hopeful that one day she and Coleen Rooney might be reunited over a coffee after the women ended up in a highly publicised trial dubbed the 'Wagatha Christie' case. Rebekah and Coleen went to the High Court in May after the wife of Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy was accused of leaking stories about Coleen's private life to the press.
The wife of former Manchester United, Everton, and England footballing star Wayne Rooney publicly claimed back in October 2019 that Vardy’s account was the source behind three stories in The Sun newspaper featuring fake details she had posted on her private Instagram. Rebekah denied leaking the stories to the media and sued for libel.
On Friday, Mrs Justice Steyn ruled in Rooney’s favour and dismissed the claim against her. The judge described Rebekah's evidence as "inconsistent, evasive and implausible" and found Coleen's claim that she had leaked personal information about her was "substantially true."
