Rebekah Vardy leaves UK while awaiting Wagatha Christie trial verdict

Rebekah Vardy has jetted off abroad amid the ongoing Wagatha Christie saga.

Mrs Vardy is currently awaiting the verdict in her high-profile legal battle against 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.

Now, Rebekah has been enjoying some time abroad with her husband, Jamie Vardy, and her five children. The family have been relaxing and avoiding any stress as they have watched dolphins, been snorkelling and had bike rides.

Posting to Instagram, she wrote: "Let kids be kids" as three of her children rode small bicycles on a sandy beach. The setting was idyllic with gorgeous blue skies and plenty of leafy trees in the background.

Another image showed the proud mum holding hands with her daughter on a beautiful beach as they wore matching robes. Rebekah captioned it: "Having the best adventures with my island crew." Over on her Instagram Stories, the footballer's wife shared some snippets of a "magical" trip out on the sea - where a snorkelling venture with her kids "was a success".

The Vardy family's trip comes just weeks after the seven day trial for the libel case came to a close. Wayne Rooney's wife publicly claimed Rebekah's account was the source behind three fake stories that she had posted on her private Instagram account.

Rebekah denies leaking stories to the media and is suing her fellow WAG for libel, while Coleen is defending the claim on the basis her post was "substantially true". The court case ended on the 19th May, and the WAGs now face a wait to find out who has won the highly-publicised legal battle.
