Wayne Rooney cuts his head open while Coleen slams shots on wild night out in Dubai

Wayne Rooney cut his head open while Coleen did shots off hers as the couple let their hair down on holiday.

The pair were in Dubai with pals Tanya Bardsley and her husband Phil and looked like they were having a whale of a time.

In one clip, father-of-four Wayne, 37, was seen dancing with his showbiz pals in Greek restaurant Opa, famed for its plate smashing.

As bits of broken plate could be seen flying across the screen, the next slide was of the former footballer nursing a cut on his forehead.

As the gang joked it was the "funniest" thing they'd seen, Coleen, 36, was then seen with a shot glass on her head as the waiter poured her favourite tipple - which she happily guzzled.

The group were then seen standing on chairs in the fancy eatery, waving their napkins.

No stranger to a holiday, Coleen certainly looked like she'd put the Wagatha Christie trial behind her.

After one of the most eagerly-followed cases in recent times, the WAG was declared victorious after Rebekah Vardy sued her for libel.

Coleen accused Rebekah's Instagram account of leaking various stories to the British media – which Rebekah claimed was defamatory.

Following the now infamous post, the mum-of-five 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 Coleen.

Rebekah has now been ordered to pay a substantial figure towards Coleen's legal bills.

In an order made public earlier this month, the judge ruled Rebekah should pay 90% of the Scouser's legal fees.

There are reports this could be as much as £1.5m.

In a statement, Mrs Justice Steyn stated the total legal bill - which Coleen is yet to finalise with the court - was estimated by her lawyer Paul Lunt to be around £1,667,860.48

Rebekah has been ordered to pay £800,000 within six weeks and to pay 90% of the costs, which are yet to be revealed.

She will also have to pay costs incurred by seven journalists who were potential witnesses but did not give evidence – apart from a portion of their costs which Mrs Rooney has already been ordered to pay.

The trial gained a huge following around the world as fans kept up to date with the dramatic developments.

The case is now being made into a Channel 4 drama as well as a West End play.

This Is England's Chanel Cresswell will play Coleen in the TV docudrama while Game of Thrones' Natalie Tena plays Rebekah.
