Rebekah Vardy set to pay £1.5 million towards Coleen Rooney's legal costs

Disgraced WAG Rebekah Vardy has been ordered to pay trial rival Coleen Rooney approximately £1.5 million in legal costs.

This news comes after footballer Jamie Vardy's wife lost her libel case trial to fellow WAG Coleen, wife of England legend Wayne Rooney. The seven-day blockbuster trial was infamously dubbed the Wagatha Christie case.

As reported by the Mirror, Rebekah launched legal proceedings against Coleen in 2020 after the fellow socialite accused Vardy of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the press. However, the two-and-a-half-year feud was ended just a week after Mrs Justice Steyn ruled in Coleen's favour.
