Express.co.uk has contacted Rebekah's representative for comment.The PR agent claims her behaviour in the past will make it difficult for her to become as successful as she was before, after appearing on hit reality shows including I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and Dancing On Ice.“But the truth is, it’s going to be very difficult for her to claw back because of how badly she’s come across,” he surmised to Closer magazine.In court documents released after the final day of the trial, Rebekah claimed she had lost work due to the accusation that she had leaked stories about Coleen to the tabloids, revealing she had missed out on a book deal as well as a brand endorsement deal.She was also labelled a "highly unreliable witness",  by Coleen's lawyer on the final day of the libel trial.David Sherborne, representing Coleen, claimed Rebekah lied under oath and deleted evidence.He said she had given "implausible, throwaway explanations" and was "lacking in candour"."We say Mrs Vardy was a highly unreliable witness and her evidence should be treated with caution," he continued.Mr Sherborne added that the case was "extraordinary" because of the "tenacity" of Rebekah in "backtracking on her admissions of leaks" and the "documentary evidence that flatly contradicts" her account.He also spoke about "the extent to which it plainly demonstrates her consistent practice of secretly leaking information to the press".The lawyer told Mrs Justice Steyn that the loss of "crucial" documents by Mrs Vardy was deliberate, adding: "The only plausible explanation is manual deletion by the claimant herself."Rebekah walked out of the court during Mr Sherborne's comments.Coleen and her husband, ex-footballer Wayne Rooney, did not attend the court
