Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy's Wagatha Christie trial has finally come to an end. The verdict on the three-year-long battle is out...

July 29, 2022 - 12:05 BST Sharnaz Shahid The decision in the Wagatha Christie libel trial has finally come to a conclusion. On Friday, it was confirmed that Rebekah Vardy has lost her libel case against Coleen Rooney.Coleen, Wayne Rooney's wife, accused Rebekah - who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy - of leaking stories from her private Instagram account to journalists at the Sun.

She said:"Nonetheless, the evidence… clearly shows, in my view, that Mrs Vardy knew of and condoned this behaviour, actively engaging in it by directing Ms Watt to the private Instagram account, sending her screenshots of Mrs Rooney’s posts, drawing attention to items of potential interest to the press, and answering additional queries raised by the press via Ms Watt.

Coleen was then dubbed 'Wagatha Christie' after her social media post - which included the words, "… It's Rebekah Vardy's account" - went viral in 2019. Rebekah denied the accusation and subsequently sued Coleen for libel.Coleen's hotshot lawyer was David Sherborne; his previous client list includes Sir Paul McCartney, Sienna Miller, Meghan Markle, Michael Douglas and former prime minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie.
