Wagatha Christie: When to expect a verdict for Coleen Rooney vs Rebekah Vardy

The legal battle between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy is soon to come to an end.

Mrs Vardy was attempting to sue Mrs Rooney after claims that she had been leaking Mrs Rooney's personal Instagram stories to the press - an allegation which Mrs Vardy denies. Coleen publicly called her out in what is now known as her 'Wagatha Christie' post.

The court case has had the nation gripped, since it began on May 10, in London's Royal Courts of Justice. Many bombshells have been dropped including the difficulties that the story leaks put on the Rooney's relationship as well as dragging other celebrity names such as Peter Andre and Danielle Lloyd into the mix.

The trial was set to last for seven days but after a day of not sitting yesterday is it still continuing today (May 19). The break yesterday gave both sides ample chance to gather their closing arguments and speeches, which will then be read out today.

However, there will no verdict straight away. Instead, the judge will deliver the ruling at a later date.

The trial is estimated to have cost both Coleen and Rebekah around £1 million, meaning they will both still have forked out thousands regardless of the final verdict. It is believed that any damages that are awarded will be far less than the legal costs.
