Rebekah Vardy says she's one of 'God's strongest warriors' after losing Wagatha trial

Rebekah Vardy reckons she could do with an easier ride next year after losing the Wagatha Christie trial against Coleen Rooney.

The WAG, 40, sued the wife of former footballer Wayne, 36, for libel, but lost in one of the most high-profile cases in recent history.

Rebekah has since been ordered to pay Coleen's legal costs - even though she sensationally claims she was framed.

The mum-of-five has now hinted at her annus horribilis with a post she put on Instagram on Wednesday.

Sharing an image of a man on the phone with the caption: "Me calling God to make sure I'm not on his 'strongest warriors' list again for 2023," Rebekah sounded like she could do with a break.

The TV star was said to have been 'embarrassed' by the enormity of the nail-biting trial, but Rebekah won't be able to escape her Wagatha woes just yet.

Next week Vardy vs Rooney: A Courtroom Drama starts on Channel 4 - which looks set to be explosive viewing.

Using transcripts from the courtroom, actors Chanel Cresswell, Natalia Tena and Michael Sheen will re-enact the drama, which kept the world gripped.

Coleen is said to be delighted by Channel 4's efforts because she wants 'people to know the details' of the trial which treated us to bombshells including alleged the size of Peter Andre's manhood.

During the trial, Rebekah claimed she was having constant panic attacks after Coleen claimed she was responsible for leaking stories about her.

Rebekah told The Sun: "I was having serious panic attacks. I had kidney stones which were brought on by stress, and I just felt like my life was falling apart.

"And since the court case, I think I’m probably suffering with PTSD — I feel physically sick when I talk about the trial and what happened, and I have nightmares."

After the drama, the WAG and her family have managed to get some rest and relaxation on a number of exotic holidays.

Last month, Rebekah posed up a storm with her mini-me daughters Sofia, seven and Olivia, two, in a lavish-looking hotel.

The trio could be seen sporting variations of a colourful animal print design, with Rebekah looking elegant in a silk, floor-length dress.

Posting a picture of her girls on Instagram with a love emoji, the WAG was complimented by her followers - with many commenting on how sweet the matching outfits were.

Rebekah also shared a pic of her and hubby Jamie from their holiday in which they can be smiling in front of an idyllic inky sea.
