The courtroom showdown between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy has had us all gripped as details unfolded during the £3million “Wagatha Christie” libel trial. But after lawyers gave their closing statements at the Royal Courts of Justice in London last week, neither party is coming out on top, according to former WAG Lizzie Cundy. “There haven’t been any winners here.The only winners are the lawyers,” 54-year-old Lizzie tells us.

Rebekah Vardy's ex-husband has now addressed her claims that she was forced into discussing her one-night stand with Peter Andre.During the first day of the explosive WAGatha Christie libel trial, Rebekah was probed about an interview she had previously given, during which she likened Peter's penis to a "chipolata" sausage.Jamie Vardy's wife, 40, was grilled by Coleen Rooney's lawyer, David Sherborne, before claiming her ex, Steve Clarke had forced her into giving a kiss-and-tell interview to the News of the World.She told the court that she was "forced into a situation" before adding: "was in a terrible, terrible relationship. The consequences of not doing something were far worse than doing it."Now, Clarke has said he intends to clear his name and claims he never forced Rebekah into giving the now infamous interview.

Coleen Rooney is said to be “convinced she will win Wagatha Christie trial” and will be “vindicated” following the final day of the high-profile case. The case centres around fellow footballer’s wife Rebekah Vardy’s Instagram account being accused by Coleen of leaking fake stories about her in October 2019 in a now-infamous Instagram post dubbed Wagatha Christie.

Steve Clarke, Rebekah Vardy's ex-husband, has denied allegations that he 'forced' her to talk about a one-night stand with Peter Andre.

Rebekah Vardy's ex husband Steve Clarke has denied claims he "forced" her to do the kiss-and-tell interview on Peter Andre. Rebekah, 40, spilled on her one night stand with the Mysterious Girl singer, 49, in an interview with the News of the World in 2004.The alleged fling is said to have happened two years before the interview.The star claimed Peter's manhood was "like a miniature chipolata" in the scathing interview, which has resurfaced amid her libel trial against Coleen Rooney. Peter has since said the claims have been "debilitating" on him and his kids have even questioned him on the reports.

Coleen Rooney has told her friends she'll be 'vindicated' in the Wagatha Christie trial that wrapped up on Thursday.

Rebekah Vardy’s ex-husband has spoken out about the infamous interview in which she referred to Peter Andre’s ‘chipolata’, and denies having any involvement.  During her tense High Court libel battle with Coleen Rooney this month, Vardy was quizzed about a newspaper interview she once gave to the News of the World about her alleged sexual encounter with Andre. In the interview, Vardy, 40, made disparaging remarks about Andre’s penis and compared it to a ‘miniature chipolata’. While giving testimony in the witness box, the former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here star alleged: ‘I was forced into a situation by my ex-husband to do this. It is something that I deeply regret.’At the time, Vardy was in a relationship with her boss at a timeshare company, Steve Clarke, who later went on to become her second husband. However, Clarke has vehemently denied having any involvement in setting up the interview or pushing Vardy to do so. ‘Becky said to me, “Oh look, I should tell them about Peter Andre”,’ Clarke told the Mail On Sunday, recalling the moment Vardy saw a News of the World request looking for people with stories about contestants in an upcoming series of I’m A Celeb. He continued: ‘I asked her why she would want to do that and she replied that it would be a bit of money for her and it would be funny.

REBEKAH Vardy's ex-husband claims he didn't force her to speak out about the size of Peter Andre's manhood - despite her court claims. The mum-of-five told the High Court she'd given an interview comparing the singer's private parts to a "miniature chipolata" because she was ordered to by Steve Clarke.

WE had been chatting and laughing for half  an hour when I asked Rebekah Nicholson, as she was then, what exactly Peter Andre was like between the sheets. The bubbly 22-year-old did not hold back: “When he pulled down his ­trousers I couldn’t believe it. It was like a ­miniature chipolata.” Everyone giggled that day — Wednesday, March 10, 2004 — at the photographic studio in Clapham, South London, where the now Mrs Vardy had come to reveal all about her brief romance with the Mysterious Girl singer after he had appeared on I’m A Celebrity.
