Rebekah, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, denies leaking stories to the media and is suing her fellow footballer's wife for libel, while Coleen is defending the claim on the basis her post was 'substantially true'.Īsked today about Rebekah's response to the post, Coleen said: 'She said she had zero interest in what was going on in my life which I didn't think was true because she talks about me a lot. The trial comes after a widely-shared social media post in October 2019, in which Coleen said she had carried out a 'sting operation' and accused 40-year-old Rebekah of leaking 'false stories' about her private life to the press.

And Coleen admitted keeping her probe secret from the former England captain - as well as lying to Rebekah after being asked why she had unfollowed her on Instagram. She also told the High Court today during the women's dramatic libel battle that she did not contact Rebekah after making her discovery because she 'did not believe a word that was coming out of her mouth'.Ĭoleen revealed how a story she believed was based on the third and final 'fake post' about a flooded basement in her new Cheshire mansion was the trigger for her bombshell Wagatha post the following day.Įxplaining why she made her notorious 'It's… Rebekah Vardy's Account' post instead of contacting Rebekah, Coleen told the court: 'I thought maybe if I did approach her she might twist it and cover it up somehow and might not be truthful so I didn't give her the opportunity.'Ĭoleen also revealed how she ramped up her probe when her husband Wayne was 'misbehaving' with a barmaid during a ten-hour bender with teammates in Florida. Coleen Rooney today revealed the moment she allegedly rumbled Rebekah Vardy with a 'fake' social media post about a flooded basement as the £3million ' Wagatha Christie' trial continued.
