Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy faced each other at court today. The wives of footballing legend Wayne Rooney and Leicester City's Jamie Vardy's attended the first day of their Wagatha Christie libel trial at London's Royal Courts of Justice.
Mrs Rooney was dubbed Wagatha Christie in October 2019, after she publicly accused Mrs Vardy of leaking "false stories" to The Sun. She said she posted three fake stories on her personal Instagram account which were subsequently leaked to the press.
Mrs Rooney said she planted fake stories on her Instagram during the sting operation about travelling to Mexico for a “gender selection” procedure, her planning to return to TV, and the basement flooding at her home. In a now-infamous post on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, she wrote: “I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them. It’s ………. Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
