Rebekah Vardy stuns in bikini as she jets off after £800k Wagatha Christie legal bill

Rebekah Vardy has jetted off on holiday following her landslide loss in her High Court Wagatha Christie case against Coleen Rooney.

The wife of Jamie Vardy, 40, has scuttled off abroad following her very public legal battle after Coleen famously accused Rebekah's Instagram account of leaking various stories to the British media – which Vardy claimed was defamatory.

Following Coleen's infamous post, Vardy launched a High Court legal case in a bid to clear her name but after a year-and-a-half-long feud, a judge ruled in favour of Rooney.

Leicester City footballer Jamie and mum-of-five Rebekah booked themselves a break for half term.

It comes just weeks after she told Coleen to 'put your money where your mouth is' just hours after it was announced she will have to pay 90% of her fellow WAG's legal costs.

Rebekah took to her Instagram Stories to show fans a glimpse of her family break.

She posed up a storm and showed of her toned body in a bright pink bikini and slapped a GIF which read “no excuses” on the revealing snap.

Jamie and Rebekah tied the knot in May 2016 and share children Olivia Grace, two, Sofia, seven, and son Finley, five together. The WAG is also mum to daughter Megan, 15, and Taylor, 11, from previous relationships.

Rebekah's latest Instagram update comes almost one month on from the star taking to her Instagram Stories to tag Coleen in a post related to the outcome of their infamous Wagatha Christie saga - seemingly urging the Liverpool-born star to donate the £800,000 she is set to receive from her to charity.

In a ruling issued last month, Judge Justice Steyn said Rebekah must pay 90% of Coleen's legal costs, and that an £800,000 down payment must be paid by 4pm on 15 November, following the judge ruling in Rooney's favour in July after the two WAGs' libel trial.

Telling Coleen to 'put your money where your mouth is', Rebekah shared an image of a jar labelled 'charity' and filled with coins with her Instagram followers, alongside an extract of a previous quote reportedly from a source close to Coleen discussing the libel drama earlier this year.

"She'd be far happier to see the money they would have spent on lawyers being used in a more positive and productive way," the quote regarding Coleen's apparent attitude to the 'Wagatha Christie' case shared with Rebekah's Instagram followers reads.

Rebekah followed up, writing: "@coleen_rooney Lets hope you put your money where your mouth is and some good can come out of this whole embarrassing spectacle."

Coleen has never commented or made any public statement regarding how sums recovered or awarded would be spent and there is no suggestion Coleen has ever pledged to donate any money to charity.

Rebekah went on to share the exact same post on a second Instagram Story moments later. Coleen is yet to publicly respond to Rebekah's latest social media update, but sources close to the Scouse star have claimed the mum-of-four is 'outraged' at Rebekah's charity challenge.
