The 'Wagatha Christie' libel trial is due to begin on Tuesday and Coleen Rooney has hired Hollywood's favourite lawyer to represent her in court.
Mrs Rooney accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the media in October 2019 after carrying out a months-long "sting operation". The wife of former England star Wayne Rooney was dubbed "Wagatha Christie" when she publicly claimed her fellow footballer's wife shared fake stories she had posted on her personal Instagram account with the newspaper.
Mrs Vardy, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, denies the accusations and is suing Mrs Rooney for libel. After several hearings, the full libel trial is now due to begin on May 10 - and representing Mrs Rooney is David Sherborne.
