Husbands Jamie and Wayne have been doing their best to keep out of the firing line, but Rebekah's lawyer, Hugh Tomlinson QC, managed to take a hilarious pot-shot at the Derby County manager while Coleen was on the stand.Challenging her insistence that she "believes" Rebekah was the leaker, Tomlinson told Coleen: "You might believe Derby County might win the Premiership in two years’ time.
