The judge has explained exactly why Rebekah Vardy lost her battle to sue Coleen Rooney for defamation.
Mrs Justice Steyn announced the ruling of the high profile Wagatha Christie trial today. In a viral social media post in October 2019, Mrs Rooney , 36, said she had carried out a "sting operation" and accused Ms Vardy of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the press.
Mrs Rooney publicly claimed Mrs Vardy's account was the source behind three fake stories she had posted on her private Instagram account.Mrs Vardy denied leaking the stories and sued her fellow footballer's wife for libel, while Mrs Rooney defended the claim on the basis her post was "substantially true".
