Rebekah Vardy has taken the witness stand for a third day in her high-profile High Court libel battle with Coleen Rooney.
The TV personality faced about half an hour of questioning on the first day of the trial on Tuesday, before about five hours of cross-examination by Rooney’s barrister, David Sherborne, on Wednesday.
In a viral social media post in October 2019, Mrs Rooney, 36, said she had carried out a "sting operation" and accused Vardy, 40, of leaking “false stories” about her private life to the press.
The wife of former England star Wayne Rooney publicly claimed an account behind three fake stories she had posted on her personal Instagram account with The Sun newspaper was Vardy’s.
Vardy, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, denies leaking stories to the media and is suing her fellow footballer's wife for libel, while Rooney is defending the claim on the basis her post was “substantially true”.
