Jamie Vardy's wife Rebekah, 40, is suing 36 year old Coleen for libel after Wayne Rooney's wife accused her Instagram account of leaking stories to the press.

Rebekah Vardy knew Coleen Rooney was "posting fake stories" to see if they would be leaked to the media, the High Court has heard. Jamie Vardy's wife's Instagram account was accused of leaking "false stories" about Coleen's private life to the press in an explosive social media post in October 2019.

Rebekah Vardy's lawyer fired shots at Coleen Rooney claiming she revelled in the nickname Wagatha Christie on the first day of their libel hearing. Coleen, the wife of former England star Wayne Rooney publicly accused the fellow WAG's account of sharing three fake stories about her in October 2019.

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

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
