Rebekah Vardy is allegedly set to make extra money off the back of the 'Wagatha Christie' trial against Coleen Rooney.
On Good Morning Britain today, host Richard Madeley ripped into the WAG as he branded her a "liar" in the eyes of the law. He said: "The judge in this case basically said that Rebekah lied off her face.
"She lied and lied and lied in court and the judge called her out on that very specifically, which makes her a liar in legal terms. There's a sense that there's something wrong with her being able to make money off the back of telling porkies."

Friend of Rebekah, Nicola McLean, appeared on GMB to talk to Richard and co-host Kate Garraway. She said: "Becky has come out and said she disagrees with what the judge has said."
She added: "I think everybody else is monetising over this. All media outlets, newspapers and magazines. For three years this has been absolutely glorified and everyone has loved reading about it so I think why shouldn't both girls, not just Rebekah, but if Coleen also wants to do Netflix docs or whatever is being reported, then why not? They've got a right to earn money over something that is personal to them."
Richard said that Rebekah is down about £3million in total and is considering going on "some kind of tour" to recoup her losses. He asked Nicola what kind of tour it would be.
The friend replied: "I mean has she said that? I would be deeply shocked if she is pursuing some sort of audience tour so I don't think that's the truth. Whether or not she decides to do a book or a tell-all interview or if she's going to be involved in any documentary, that's not a conversation that we have had but why shouldn't she?"
Kate asked: "Is she broke? Is it really a question of money?" Nicola replied: "Guys, come on. You really think that Rebekah Vardy, who is married to Jamie Vardy, is broke? She wouldn't have gone to court if she was broke."
Coleen Mensa, a lawyer who was also a guest on the show, said that the issue between the two women should have been settled "years ago and out of court." She went on to bash them for wanting to earn extra money off the back of the saga, as she said: "There's a lot of time that's been used, there's a lot of resources that's been used. To then cash out on this essentially makes it seem as if they've used the courts to propel their careers even further."
