BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker took to social media today to question whether it wouldn’t be better if Rebekah Vardy, 40, and Coleen Rooney, 36, simply donated the cost of their infamous “Wagatha Christie” feud to charity.The two so-called “WAGs”- (wives and girlfriends of footballers) are currently battling it out in the High Court.

Dan, 45, weighed in on the star-studded libel trial, thought to be costing around £2million, in view of his 757,200 Twitter followers. “Do you get the feeling that everyone would benefit reputationally, ethically, morally and financially if they just abandoned the Rebekah Vardy vs Coleen Rooney court case and gave away all the fees, costs and potential damages to charity?” he asked his fanbase.Dan’s followers took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the legal drama.Fellow journalist Cole Moreton joked: “Not everyone.The lawyers would be gutted.”“Apart from them,” Dan added with laughing emojis.Professor Claire Collins wrote: “Yes, yes and yes.

It is a sin to waste money on this spat. “This money could do so much good. If one of them withdrew and said they would donate the money elsewhere, they would have the moral high ground at a stroke!!!”Ali Green also agreed with Dan, commenting: “What a complete waste of money and what is it all going to achieve in the end. “Giving money to charity would definitely be a much better option!”“I think it’s unfair to say ‘they’ here,” Sian Aitken pointed out. “One person sued another person. “The person being sued has 2 options: accept liability and pay up; or defend. “The person being sued can’t decide to abandon so if accepting liability and paying is unpalatable then they have to defend.” The spat between Rebekah and Coleen began back in.
