David Sherborne: Last News

amid the explosive Wagatha Christie case.The wife of former England star Wayne Rooney accused fellow WAG Vardy of leaking ‘false stories’ about her private life to the media in October 2019 after carrying out a months-long ‘sting operation’, before being dubbed ‘Wagatha Christie’.She said she planted three stories about her travelling to Mexico to ‘see what this gender selection is all about’, returning to TV and the basement flooding in her new house.Rooney publicly claimed her fellow footballer’s wife shared the fake stories she had posted on her personal Instagram account with The Sun newspaper.

Coleen Rooney requested for the disclosure of communications between Rebekah Vardy, her agent Caroline Watt and a journalist from The Sun and it was granted by a High Court judge at a preliminary hearing today.

Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy’s ‘Wagatha Christie’ case has taken place today, in which the court was told Vardy’s agent is ‘not fit to give oral evidence’.The pair have been engaged in a libel dispute since Rooney, 36, accused Vardy, 40, of leaking stories she had planted on social media, on an Instagram story viewable only by Vardy’s account in October 2019 after a ‘sting operation’ over several months. Rooney earned the nickname ‘Wagatha Christie’ for her detective skills, but Vardy has always denied that the leaked stories were down to her. A preliminary hearing took place on Wednesday at the High Court in London ahead of the start of the trial next month, which comes after Rooney previously lost a bid to add a claim against Vardy’s agent Caroline Watt to the libel case.Rooney’s lawyers had previously claimed that Vardy had leaked information to The Sun either directly or through Watt ‘acting on her instruction or with her knowing approval’.However, Hugh Tomlinson QC, for Vardy, told the court today that Watt could not give oral evidence.In written arguments, Mr Tomlinson said: ‘The claimant served a witness statement of Caroline Watt with the intention of calling Ms Watt to give oral evidence at the trial.‘The claimant’s solicitors were, however, aware that Ms Watt was in a fragile state and had been expressing serious concerns about giving evidence.’He added that a consultant forensic psychiatrist produced a report which concluded Watt is not fit to provide oral evidence at the High Court trial.‘In these circumstances, it is clear that Ms Watt cannot be called to give evidence,’ he concluded.Rooney’s barrister, David Sherborne argued in written statements: ‘The defendant has serious concerns about the lack of any

Coleen Rooney has suffered a setback in her defence against Rebekah Vardy's libel case. She has been denied permission to bring a claim against Rebekah's agent as part of a legal battle between the footballer's wives.

Rebekah Vardy has an “established history” of leaking people’s private information, Coleen Rooney’s lawyer has claimed as he called for the disclosure of more text messages and all payments she received from The Sun. Ms Vardy, the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, is suing Ms Rooney for libel after she was publicly accused of leaking “false stories” about the fellow footballer’s wife to the press.

Rebekah Vardy’s lawyers have argued that her text messages calling someone a ‘c***’ and ‘nasty b****’ were not about Coleen Rooney. The pair are preparing to head to court in May after Rooney accused Vardy of selling stories about her to the press in 2019, leading to the infamous saga to be dubbed ‘Wagatha Christie’.During Tuesday’s hearing at the High Court, Rooney’s legal team argued text messages sent by Vardy referred to their client as a ‘nasty b***h’, to ‘suck a d**k’ and ‘declared war’. However, on Wednesday, Vardy’s lawyers denied these messages which were sent to her agent Caroline Watt were about Rooney, who she is suing for libel. Vardy’s barrister Hugh Tomlinson QC told the court: ‘This is not a passage about Mrs Rooney, it is a passage about someone else.’ Tomlinson previously told the court that the messages referred to by Rooney’s barrister David Sherborne, which were said to ‘reveal that Mrs Vardy and Ms Watt are responsible for the leaking’, were ‘selective’, and said parts of the exchanges which were left out had ‘precisely the opposite effect’. He added: ‘If one reads these messages in full, what one sees is that Mrs Vardy expresses shock at being accused and she is here communicating with the person that Mr Sherborne says is her co-conspirator.‘These are obviously candid personal messages, and if she was really concerned – “Oh, this is terrible, we have been found out” – then it would have been completely different.’Rooney, 35, is bringing a claim against Watt for misuse of private information and is asking for it to be joined to the libel case involving Vardy, 39. Sherborne told the court that Rooney will be left without ‘vindication’ if Vardy wins the case on the basis that she was not the person

Rebekah Vardy has denied called Coleen Rooney a "nasty b***h" after texts were disclosed in court.The 39 year old model's legal representative has said messages that were claimed to have been about Coleen, 35, were in fact "about someone else". Messages read in court between Rebekah and her former agent Caroline Watts had claimed to have been sent after Coleen explosively accused Rebekah's Instagram account of leaking stories to The Sun.

The latest development in the ongoing legal battle between Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney has shown the explosive texts 39 year old Rebekah allegedly sent to her agent. Coleen first made the claims that Rebekah's account were guilty of leaking stories about her to the press in 2019, something which the mum of five has denied and has since filed a libel lawsuit against Coleen.

Sienna Miller agreed a settlement in her phone hacking lawsuit against News Group Newspapers (NGN), publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct newspaper News Of The World, Wednesday.
