Rebekah Vardy has lost a sensational courtroom battle over explosive claims she was leaking stories about Coleen Rooney to the press.
The 40-year-old, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie, was suing Rooney, the wife of England star Wayne, for defamation in a hearing dubbed 'Wagatha Christie' by fans. Rooney, 36, uploaded several fake stories to her private Instagram account in a six month sting to find out who was sharing private information to The Sun newspaper.
Rooney publicly accused her fellow WAG of passing on the fake stories in the now-infamous Wagatha Christie tweet in October 2019. Hugh Tomlinson QC, representing Rebekah, told London's High Court Rooney’s post was constructed like a “mini whodunnit” and had caused "serious harm" to his client.
