Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney's Wagatha Christie case to return to court
24.05.2024 - 17:47 / ok.co.uk
The infamous "Wagatha Christie" case is due to return to court for a hearing regarding legal costs. Rebekah Vardy, 42, lost her high-profile libel claim against Coleen Rooney, 38, in July 2022 when Mrs Justice Steyn ruled that Coleen's viral social media post accusing Rebekah of leaking her private information to the press was "substantially true".

These stories included a fabricated trip to Mexico for a "gender selection" procedure, her supposed TV comeback plans, and a flood at her home.
The courtroom drama concluded with Mrs Justice Steyn siding with Coleen, stating it was "likely" that
