Coleen bombshell ‘pyjama post’ of Wayne released in Wagatha libel case

These are the sensational posts and images at the heart of the £3 million Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy libel trial between Rebecca Vardy e Coleen Rooney – many published here for the first time.

Today the lawyers for both sides agreed to release this fascinating bundle of hundreds of documents which have formed the evidence throughout the seven-day case at the High Court.

As the judge, Sig.ra. Justice Steyn, considers the evidence for both sides and weighs up whether or not Rebekah was libelled and should receive damages from Coleen for her bombshell social media accusation, we can now reveal for the first time many of the Instagram posts and WhatsApp messages which the lawyers have been poring over for the last two and a half years.

Top of the bill is the famous but never published photo from Coleen’s private Instagram account showing Wayne in bed with three of his sons in spotted pyjamas.

Coleen told the court that she only posted the image on her private account because she did not want to fuel stories about her and Wayne reuniting after the couple’s marriage faltered when he was caught drink driving in another woman’s car.

On her public Instagram account Coleen only posted a photo of herself with her then three sons Kai, Klay and Kit, wearing matching pyjamas. But she was angered a few days later, when a story appeared in The Sun clearly based on the private image.

Coleen then posted to her followers: ‘The GRASS strikes again!!!! I put that picture on wondering if it would appear in that horrible newspaper.’

Then there’s a jaw-dropping WhatsApp exchange between Rebekah Vardy and her Leicester City striker husband Jamie.

The trial heard that in 2016 during the Euros, England Captain Wayne was taken aside by manager Roy Hodgson and ordered to have a word with Jamie, to suggest he asked his wife to ‘calm down’ her media activities.

When a report of the exchange was published in the Independent, a furious Rebekah texted a link to Jamie, along with the comment: 'Sul serio???’

Jamie replied: 'No, not at all babes x,’ with Rebekah adding: ‘T**ts trying to make me into a scapegoat x.’ Jamie the responded: ‘F***ing a**holes x’,

The united Vardys continue in similar vein before they sign off with Jamie texting about the media: ‘Build us up to smash us back down x’.

Rebekah then said: 'Si, Esattamente,’ with Jamie adding: ‘F*** them. They ain’t bringing us down x’

The lawyers for both sides agreed to release this fascinating bundle of hundreds of documents which have formed the evidence throughout the seven-day case at the High Court.

There are also of course the infamous series of messages between Rebekah and her agent Caroline Watt, which were already released prior to the trial. Other photos in the bundle include Instagram posts from various WAGs at a shisha restaurant in St. I russi affermano di non essere d'accordo con l'invasione dell'Ucraina da parte di Putin.

The court heard that Rebekah arranged for a paparazzi photographer to be waiting outside, but she denied it when she gave evidence.

Then there are many posted which Coleen added onto her private Instagram account, some of which were fake, and some of those she blocked from all over her followers except Rebekah’s account.

In one post she showed a photograph of her passport with the caption ‘Escaping the measle outbreak in Washington’.

Another a picture of her with her niece on her lap with the caption ‘Broody’ and two hearts. There there are several posts from Coleen’s private Instagram showing photos from a girls’ weekend at the exclusive Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds with Wayne’s cousin Claire and two friends.

In un'immagine, Coleen was seen riding on a bike around holding a bottle of wine, while Claire posted a picture of the women in a hot tub together, and some of them riding ponies.

A story subsequently appeared in The Sun, clearly based on the private image of Coleen on the bicycle, which mentioned she was seen ‘swigging a bottle of plonk while cycling at speed’.

Many of the photographs give an insight into the Rooney’s private family life, such as one of the couple with all four of their children at the seaside with the caption: ‘And back to US tomorrow for dad!’ when Wayne was playing in Washington but his family were still in the UK.

Then there is a touching picture of Coleen with Kai dating back to Las Vegas in 2012. Some of the Instagram posts were put in the bundle as evidence from Rebekah’s lawyers, as although the posts appeared, no subsequent stories appeared in The Sun.

For example in August 2019, one photo shows a pair of legs in surgical stockings in hospital with the caption: ‘My classy stockings. Tonsils gone.’

The next day a post showed a breakfast of croissants and coffee with the caption: ‘Mum’s looking after me.’

The following day Coleen posted a photo of Kai playing football captioned: ‘Hate being stuck in sick, especially with being on my own. Thanks to Claire Rooney for taking Kai out with the boys yesterday. And what would I do without my mum and dad? Hurry home @Wazzaroon08, which is Wayne’s Instagram handle.

On 12th of September 2019, Coleen shows a picture of herself with her youngest son Cass, looking at their new mansion-in-progress in Cheshire, con la didascalia: ‘Site visit. I think he likes his new house’

A few days later on September 16, there’s a romantic throwback photo of the couple and the caption ‘Missing you’, while Wayne was in the United States.

At the end of their period in the Us, another post showed Coleen at the Washington Monument, sottotitolato: ‘When you think America is long gone, and you have to go back to sort out more (sic) the last bit of house stuff and attend an event as a couple.’

Around the same time was a post showing a huge German shepherd with the caption: ‘Looks like I won’t be getting my cute puppy. Looks like it’s going to be a security dog instead, been hearing of too many breakings recently.’

It comes as Rebekah cried in court again yesterday and embraced her solicitor as her jaw-dropping £3million Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy libel battle with Coleen Rooney came to an emotional close.

The tearful WAG – who broke into tears a number of times while giving evidence – was seen throwing her hands around solicitor Charlotte Harris following the conclusion of the high-profile legal battle.

The emotional close to the trial – which has gripped the country since last Monday – came after barrister Hugh Tomlinson QC told the court how Mrs Vardy had suffered ‘public abuse and ridicule’ on a ‘massive scale’ as a result of the Coleen Rooney’s Wagatha Christie post.

Closing the Mrs Vardy’s case on the final day of the high-profile libel battle yesterday, Mr Tomlinson told the court how his client had received ‘the most horrific abuse’ – including death threats – following the now-famous ‘It’s Rebekah Vardy’s account…’ svelare.

He also highlighted a number of messages to the high court, including one in which internet trolls had said Ms Vardy’s baby deserved to be ‘put in a microwave and ‘put in an incinerator’.

Describing the impact of the bombshell post by Mrs Rooney on Rebekah, Mr Tomlinson said: ‘There was no urgency whatsoever.

‘Mrs Rooney could have blocked Mrs Vardy and made contact with Mrs Vardy to ask for her views, or she could have waited until after Mrs Vardy had given birth.

‘She did neither and failed to give any proper or reasonable consideration to the possibility that the activity could be happening from Mrs Vardy’s account without Mrs Vardy’s knowledge.

‘The publication of the post to millions of readers was, in the circumstances, wholly unfair to Mrs Vardy who should have been given an opportunity to comment and explain her position in advance. '

Mr Tomlinson said as a result Rebekah suffered ‘the most horrific abuse’. Mr Tomlinson said his client was entitled to ‘substantial damages in compensation for this defamatory publication.’

He said Rebekah had been ‘forcefully’ cross-examined by Mr Sherborne and found the experience ‘upsetting’.

‘It’s been a great burden on her for two and a half years and she was cross-examined in an aggressive fashion over a considerable period of time.’

The court heard that allegations that Rebekah Vardy plotted to leak stories were merely cases of ‘gossip’ and ‘tittle tattle’.

Egli ha detto: ‘This is really a falling-out of two individuals over what is essentially a private matter.

‘The Whodunnit tone which she must have foreseen would have had a big impact, and did have an enormous impact, we do say it was unreasonable for her to do it in the manner in which she did.’

Mr Tomlinson QC said conversations between Rebekah and her agent Caroline Watt spoke about ‘leaks’ in message exchanges but had been using ‘loose language’.

Egli ha detto: ‘The position is clearly that from time to time, Mrs Vardy and Miss Watt used the language of leaking. We say that in some cases that’s actually just loose language.

'In realtà, they’re gossiping. That’s a very different scenario than what’s been said against them.’

It comes as Ms Vardy yesterday blamed her publicist for selling stories about Coleen Rooney and admitted she regretted calling Coleen a ‘c**t’ and her husband Wayne a ‘sh*tehouse’ in abusive messages – but insisted her rival’s Wagatha Christie Instagram reveal was ‘misconceived’.

Mrs Vardy’s barrister Hugh Tomlinson QC said that his client is a victim – and now accepts the possibility that her friend and former agent Caroline Watt may have been the source of the leaks, declaring his client: ‘Does not know to this day what happened’ so is entitled to ‘substantial damages’ from Mrs Rooney.

Il libel trial has been brought by Mrs Vardy to ‘establish her innocence and vindicate her reputation’ after Mrs Rooney accused her personally leaking false stories to The Sun in October 2019.

Mr Tomlinson said ‘Mrs Vardy has obviously made mistakes. Uno di loro, the most serious, was to trust someone she shouldn’t have’ [referring to her agent Caroline Watt]. Another is the way she talked in private conversations with Ms Watt. She accepts she said things which, had she known they would come out in public, she would not have said.’

Ha aggiunto: ‘This is a case about Mrs Vardy and the way she has been treated by thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people on social media… this goes on to this day. Even during this trial she’s continued to receive abuse on social media.’

The barrister continued: ‘Throughout this case, lei (signora Vardi) has sought to find out the position. The very first thing she said to Mrs Rooney was ‘send me the evidence, send me the posts. The suggestion that she is trying to hide something is quite wrong’.

Mr Tomlinson said Rebekah’s libel dispute with Coleen was a ‘very simple case’ when ‘one clears away the conspiracy theories’, adding Mrs Vardy would have to be ‘very clever or very cynical’ to have deleted swathes of her WhatsApp back-ups. He also dismissed the suggestion that Rebekah had deleted a handful of ‘incriminating’ messages to save her own skin.

Her agent Caroline Watt’s phone was dropped in the North Sea after the court asked for it to be handed over for examination. When this was referred to as Davy Jones’ Locker last week, Ms Vardy admitted she didn’t know what that meant.

‘Has Mrs Rooney proved that Mrs Vardy leaked the information from her post that she’s accused of leaking?’ Mr Tomlinson said. Ha aggiunto: ‘Mrs Vardy’s case is and always has been that she did not leak the information nor did she authorise anyone else to leak. She does not know to this day what happened,’ Mr Tomlinson said, aggiungendo: ‘She does not know where this information came from.’

Referring to the laptop that was ‘destroyed’ by Rebekah – which Mr Sherborne listed in a ‘series of unfortunate events’ of lost evidence – Mr Tomlinson said it ‘doesn’t make sense’.

‘If Mrs Vardy is the cynical deleter of evidence that Mr Sherborne makes out’, Egli ha detto, ‘a more logical response from her would be to say she threw the laptop out straight away, not wait until it was requested for forensic examination.’

He said the court must consider whether throwing away the laptop was the ‘concealment of evidence’ or doing what ‘any of us would do’, with Vardy simply throwing away a broken laptop.

Referring to Ms Watt’s phone which was dropped into the North Sea – he said it was not claimed that Rebekah had thrown the phone into the sea in a bid to conceal evidence, or had anything to do with its loss.

He said ‘we have no way of knowing’ if this was done to destroy evidence or an accident.

‘Mrs Vardy doesn’t know… and this can’t be used against her,’ Egli ha detto.

Hugh Tomlinson QC told the court that Mrs Vardy wanted to be ‘vindicated’ that she was not the person who leaked Mrs Rooney’s private information.

He highlighted the ‘negative impact’ the case had had on Mrs Vardy, aggiungendo: ‘The media is full of jokes about this case.’

‘This is a case about Mrs Vardy and the way that she has been treated by thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of people on social media. She has been subjected to abuse that goes on to this day,’ Mr Tomlinson said.

He added that Mrs Vardy had continued to receive abusive messages during the trial at the High Court.

‘This is about her trying to do something about that so she can move on with her life,’ Mr Tomlinson said.

Mr Tomlinson QC said: ‘People have different views, people behave in different ways. Mrs Rooney thought Mrs Vardy was suspiciously friendly, but people behave in different ways.’

Dopo, discussing The Sun newspaper and Mrs Rooney, the barrister said it was ‘a newspaper that she clearly loathes’ and that Mrs Rooney may disapprove of the way Mrs Vardy had sometimes been featured in it.

‘One can see why Mrs Rooney thinks that but it is not a basis for making an allegation of the kind that was made,’ Mr Tomlinson said.

Mr Tomlinson added: ‘Mrs Vardy has made mistakes. Perhaps the most serious of these may have been to trust Ms Watt as her agent.’

Mr Tomlinson denied that Rebekah and Ms Watt had ‘an obsession with the Rooneys’ and pointed out that ‘less than one per cent’ of the messages between them concerned the Rooneys.

Del 1200 pages of messages between the two women, solo 10 pages had any messages concerning Coleen or Wayne.

‘Once that is taken into account, the case can be seen in a completely different light,’ Egli ha detto.

Rebecca Vardy ‘lied under oath’, gave ‘implausible’ evidence that ‘cannot be trusted’ and deleted incriminating WhatsApp messages in a fatally flawed libel action she brought against her rival Coleen that should never have made it to the High Court, Mrs Rooney’s barrister declared yesterday.

Celebrity lawyer David Sherborne claimed Mrs Vardy’s case had ‘disintegrated’ during the week-long trial in an eviscerating attack on the wife of premier League calciatore Jamie Vardy at the Royal Courts of Justice.

Mr Vardy also came in for criticism, with Mr Sherborne accusing him of not being willing to be called as a witness so he could avoid giving evidence under oath. Instead he gave a statement outside accusing Wayne Rooney of talking ‘nonsense’ about his wife.

Mrs Rooney’s bronzed barrister, who has also represented Meghan Markle, Johnny Depp, Kate Moss, Sir Paul McCartney and Sienna Miller, disse: ‘It’s not lost on the court, Sono sicuro, that Mr Vardy was perfectly willing to give a statement not under oath but apparently not willing to provide one for the process of these proceedings.’

Mr Sherborne said that Mrs Vardy’s case had ‘almost entirely disintegrated’ over the course of the trial, which entered its seventh and final day yesterday.

Ha aggiunto: ‘Anyone could be forgiven for wondering how on earth this case has been allowed to get this far. Lei [Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy] finds herself at the end of a seven-day libel trial, e per cosa?’

disse il signor Sherborne: ‘Mrs Vardy was a highly unreliable witness. Her evidence should be treated with the utmost caution. Its accuracy simply cannot be trusted. The contrast in the way Mrs Rooney gave evidence could not have been clearer.’

He said Coleen ‘had been honest’ while Rebekah’s ‘evidence was ‘ill-considered and lacking in candour’.’ He said Mrs Vardy’s memory had been ‘selective’ as she gave evidence.

Referring to the ‘disappearance’ of the WhatsApp messages between Rebekah and her agent and publicist Caroline Watt, central to the case, Mr Sherborne said her explanation that the loss happened during export to her solicitors was ‘impossible.’

The fact Ms Watt’s phone was ‘dropped in the North Sea’ during a trip to Scotland was ‘fishy enough’, disse il signor Sherborne.

‘There is only one conclusion and that is that Mrs Vardy deleted the WhatsApp chat and it was a deliberate lie to cover up her wrongdoing. There is no other plausible explanation. The only conclusion the court can reach is that she deleted the WhatsApp chat and then lied under oath about it’, he told Mrs Justice Steyn.

signora Vardi, who left the courtroom with a laptop in hand about half an hour after the hearing started this morning and returned with a bottle of Lucozade an hour later, says she brought the case so she could clear her name and ‘establish her innocence and vindicate her reputation’ after Mrs Rooney accused her personally leaking false stories to The Sun in the now infamous Wagatha Christie Instagram post in October 2019.

‘The burden lies on us to establish on a balance of probabilities that the post is substantially true. It is what she [Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy] believed at the time… and it is what she believes even more so now that we have got to the end of the case’, disse il signor Sherborne.

Finishing his statement he said: ‘Mrs Rooney was right in what she said in her reveal post, and she still is’.

Mr Sherborne told the court:

• Rebekah Vardy was a ‘highly unreliable witness’ whose memory was ‘selective’ while Coleen Rooney ‘had been honest’, la corte ascolta. Mrs Rooney’s legal team accused her of lying and deliberately deleting WhatsApp messages;
• Coleen Rooney’s barrister David Sherborne also had a go at Jamie Vardy after the Leicester City striker complained about allegations of his wife Rebekah’s media antics outside the Royal Courts of Justice – but did not give evidence under oath;
• Sig Sherborne claimed Mrs Vardy had carried out ‘targeted’ deletions of her WhatsApp messages with agent Caroline Watt and said a ‘substantial’ amount of vital evidence had been lost in the case due to ‘deliberate deletion’. He told the High Court that even Rebekah’s own expert’ had concluded the way the data has been lost was ‘surprising’ saying there was ‘no plausible explanation for this’;
• Sherborne told the High Court that Rebekah had a ‘long history of setting up fake staged’ photos and pointed out how she initially denied organising the pap opportunity in Russia before claiming she couldn’t remember the incident;
• The court heard that Rebekah and her publicist Caroline Watt are the ‘only possible suspects’ for leaking Coleen’s gender selection and flooded basement posts to the media, and that it is ‘clearly more than probable’ that they secretly passed on information about Coleen’s 2019 ‘car crash’;
• Mr Sherborne said Rebekah’s excuse that she didn’t reply to Caroline Watt’s ‘it was me’ text because she was watching Dancing On Ice is ‘implausible’ and ‘inconsistent’. She claimed that ‘the word ‘leak’ comes so easily from Mrs Vardy’s mouth’;
• The barrister claimed the Wag had carried out ‘targeted’ deletions of her WhatsApp messages with Caroline Watt and said a ‘substantial’ amount of vital evidence had been lost in the case due to ‘deliberate deletion’;
• signora Vardi left the courtroom with a laptop in hand about half an hour after the hearing started this morning. She was missing for at least an hour before returning with a bottle of Lucozade just before lunch;
• MailOnline revealed that Coleen and Wayne Rooney have gone on their summer holidays with their four sons. The case was meant to finish yesterday. Una fonte ha detto: ‘It’s been a long and gruelling process for both Wayne and Coleen and they didn’t want to disappoint their children’;

David Sherborne claimed he had proved that Rebekah Vardy had ‘regularly and frequently’ leaked information to The Sun about his client and others in her sphere. Egli ha detto: ‘Just because she [Vardi] was not the one who pulled the trigger on occasion, it does not mean she was not responsible’.

Mr Sherborne also said the court ‘can and should conclude’ that the loss of WhatsApp messages between Rebekah Vardy and her publicist Caroline Watt was ‘the result of deliberate deletion’. ‘The loss of documents is substantial in this case,’ Egli ha detto.

Mr Sherborne said these were deliberately deleted – despite claims from Vardy they were lost accidentally.

He described the case as a ‘deliberate trail of destruction’ and a ‘series of improbable events’.

Vardy’s suggestion that a ‘new phone’ was responsible for the loss of messages is ‘wholly unsupported by the evidence’ disse il signor Sherborne, with no evidence a new device was used to log into Instagram.

‘If there was no new device, and the experts are agreed that there was not, then the only explanation is manual deletion,’ Ha aggiunto.

He said Rebekah deleted the messages to ‘cover up the collusion’ between her and Ms Watts, claiming they had been ‘corrupted’ during the exporting process.

‘She says the WhatsApp export was carried out on an old laptop which stopped working between October and December 2019 and no longer functions,’ says the lawyer.

When Coleen’s legal team asked to forensically examine the laptop they were told it had been ‘disposed of’ by Rebekah because it ‘had been damaged beyond repair’.

‘No explanation has been given for this deliberate destruction of evidence’, Egli ha detto.

‘She could not recall when she actually destroyed the laptop but accepted it was after she had been told to preserve everything.’

Poi, the fact Ms Watt’s phone was ‘dropped in the north sea’ during a trip to Scotland is ‘fishy enough’, disse il signor Sherborne.

‘If Ms Watt’s phone had not been destroyed then the claimant’s messages (including all media files) would have been accessible. It was therefore necessary for both to be destroyed to properly cover up any wrongdoing and conceal discovery. RIP Ms Watts phone’.

He then pointed to the fact that the court had also not heard evidence from agent Caroline Watt who he alleged ‘clearly had repeated contact with these journalists’. Ms Watt had a ‘hand-in-glove’ relationship with Mrs Vardy, Mr Sherborne claimed, aggiungendo: ‘No Caroline Watt is like Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark’.

Rebekah said in evidence that in her WhatsApp messages she had ‘used the word ‘leak’ where I probably shouldn’t use the word ‘leak’,’ .

Mr Sherborne said she had just ‘doubled down on her excuses’ in ‘another feat of linguistic gymnastics’.

He accused her of ‘deliberately lying’ and her contemporaneous messages should be given more weight than her oral evidence in the witness box.

Examining messages from Rebekah to her agent on the Danny Drinkwater leak, she said ‘I want paying for this x’.

Egli ha detto: ‘This is just another example, as with Mr Andre, where she is trading money for private information.’

Turning to the 2018 World Cup and the staged photo of Rebekah and eight other WAGs outside a St Petersburg restaurant, Mr Sherborne said she initially denied any involvement in the incident in her witness statement to the court.

‘Once we had seen the messages between her and Ms Watt, this was inconsistent with her sworn statement. She then said she did not remember the incident.

‘It was hard to keep up with her explanations as she gave evidence in relation to this leak. Her case shifted at every stage with further and more fanciful explanations being made in the witness box.’

Mr Sherborne described Rebekah’s explanation that she ‘leaked’ information about her own miscarriage ‘utterly hopeless’.

Sopra 6 agosto 2019, she messaged Ms Watt about an unidentified girl: ‘She’s gone and done it now leak the Maldives stuff x’.

An article which later appeared explained Danielle Lloyd had a miscarriage – there is no mention of the Maldives in that article, with the Maldives honeymoon reported on 11 aprile 2019.

Rebekah claimed she had not leaked anything about Ms Lloyd and said the word ‘leak’ should mean ‘publish an article about her own miscarriage in Closer Magazine’.

‘This makes no sense,’ disse il signor Sherborne.

‘It’s clear that she’s telling Ms Watt to leak private information about someone else, the Maldives stuff. One can only dread to think what it was.’

The case brought by Mrs Vardy, which has captivated millions and cost the WAGs a small fortune, was due to finish yesterday but went into extra time to allow barristers to prepare their final arguments at the Royal Courts of Justice.

Rebekah arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice on The Strand at 10am, but was not accompanied by her husband Jamie who is playing for Leicester City against Chelsea tonight. She wore a £900 business-like black trouser suit with a green top. It was also the first time she wore her hair down and without sunglasses. She added a £5,000 heart-shaped rose gold Chopard diamond necklace around her throat.

The Rooneys are believed to have booked to go abroad believing it would all be over by now. The couple have sat through every day of the evidence but missed yesterday’s closing speeches because they had a holiday booked with their children Kai, Sarah Harding rivela di essere quasi morta di sepsi ed era in a, Klay and Kit.

The family were given permission from the judge to be absent. Mrs Justice Steyn will hear the final arguments yesterday before publishing a written judgment in the coming weeks.

It’s not known where the family are off for their sunshine break, but it has been timed for the end of the Championship season, which saw manager Wayne’s Derby County relegated to League One after finishing second from bottom. Pre-season training will begin again in early to mid June.

The blockbuster trial has captivated millions with its twists and turns, and even split households into #TeamRooney or #TeamVardy factions.

The High Court trial centres around a viral social media post in October 2019, in which Coleen, 36, said she had carried out a ‘sting operation’ and accused Rebekah, 40, di far trapelare "storie false".’ sulla sua vita privata alla stampa.

Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy, the wife of former England footballer Wayne Rooney, publicly claimed an account behind three fake stories she had posted on a personal Instagram account with The Sun newspaper was Rebekah’s.

Rebecca, who is married to Leicester 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’.

Over six days in courtroom number 13 at the Royal Courts of Justice, the pair have each given evidence, as has Rooney, anche 36, who played for Everton and Manchester United and now manages Derby County.

Outlining Rebekah’s case on May 10, her barrister Hugh Tomlinson QC said she had ‘no choice’ but to bring the case against Coleen so she could clear her name and ‘establish her innocence and vindicate her reputation’.

David Sherborne, representing Coleen, told judge Mrs Justice Steyn that the case is essentially a ‘detective story’ and ‘like any good detective story, you never find a person standing over the body with a smoking gun’.

He said there was ‘inference’, aggiungendo: ‘You just have to conclude that it is more likely than not that Mrs Vardy was responsible, either directly or through Ms (Caroline – Amico e agente della signora Vardy) Watt.’

Both footballers’ wives have been seated just feet apart in court, in front of their barristers, for each day of the hearing. There was no hearing yesterday, but Rooney has attended every day. Vardy only appeared on Tuesday.

The fake stories Coleen planted on her Instagram during the sting operation featured her travelling to Mexico for a ‘gender selection’ procedura, her planning to return to TV and the basement flooding at her home.

In a now infamous post on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, lei scrisse: ‘I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them. Suo ……….. Rebekah Vardy’s account.’

MailOnline readers on either #TeamVardy or #TeamRooney have called for the case to be televised – and joked about bringing out the popcorn rather than doing a day’s work – while completely captivated by three days of Rebekah’s extraordinary evidence, Coleen’s debut in the witness box and star witness Rooney’s testimony.

Others have obsessed over the rivals’ expensive outfits as they arrive and the often comical court sketches of Rooney, whose drawn likeness has been compared to Lenin, Mike Tyson and even the humble Maris Piper potato.

In six days of evidence, Rebekah compared Peter Andre ‘s penis to a ‘chipolata’, and there were tears of laughter when she said arguing with Coleen was like arguing with a pigeon because ‘it’s still going to s**t in your hair’.

There were more laughs when Vardy was bamboozled by a reference to Davy Jones’ Locker when the court heard her phone ended up at the bottom of the North Sea. Then Coleen revealed for the first time that she split from her husband Wayne, who blushed in court as she described how he was caught drink-driving with a ‘party girl’.

Giorno 6 – Jamie Vardy accuses Wayne Rooney of talking ‘nonsense’ about his wife before leaving early after Rebekah falls ill

The Vardys leave early

Rebekah Vardy dramatically left the Wagatha Christie libel trial early on Tuesday after her husband accused Wayne Rooney of ‘talking nonsense’ about them.

Jamie Vardy led his wife out of the High Court during a ten-minute interval.

Pochi istanti dopo, her legal team told the judge she had gone because she ‘was not feeling very well’.

The Rooneys appeared in good spirits and were smiling as they left court at the end of the day’s proceedings, as legal experts predicted the case was going their way.

poiché gli è stato vietato di guidare per due anni e gli è stato dato: Roy Hodgson asked me to speak to Jamie about his wife

Wayne Rooney told the High Court there was ‘a lot of negativity’ surrounding Mrs Vardy’s column for The Sun and so he agreed to ask Vardy ‘to ask his wife to calm down’.

Rooney recalled sitting down with his teammate over a can of Red Bull and a coffee in the England squad’s games room during the competition in France.

Egli ha detto: ‘I remember the conversation I had with Jamie. It was awkward for me to speak to a teammate about his wife. It wasn’t my place to speak to Mrs Vardy. I was asked to speak to Mr Vardy and I followed those instructions.’

Rooney said he did not know whether Vardy had raised the issue with his wife, detto: ‘If Jamie gives that information to his wife or not is not down to me.’ He was asked whether he was certain the conversation took place and replied: ‘I’m sat here under oath. io 100 per cent spoke to Mr Vardy on the situation. Ancora, if he wants to relay that back to his wife that’s entirely his business.’

…but Jamie brands his evidence ‘nonsense’

Around two hours later, Vardy issued the statement through his wife’s PR agent. Egli ha detto: ‘Wayne is talking nonsense. He must be confused because he never spoke to me about issues concerning Becky’s media work at Euro 2016.

‘There was nothing to speak about, I know this because I discuss everything with Becky.’

The Vardys arrived at court hand in hand, and continued to hold hands throughout most of the morning’s hearing. signora Vardi, who wore a £1,100 navy trouser suit by US designer Veronica Beard, briefly rested her head on her husband’s shoulder when they arrived back in the court after the lunch break.

They failed to reappear in court after the ten-minute mid-afternoon break, when Mrs Vardy’s legal team announced she had left because she was feeling unwell. It was the second day in a row that the 40-year-old left early.

Wayne Rooney says Coleen became ‘a different mother and a different wife’ as she ‘struggled’ with fallout from her 2019 Wagatha Christie post

Wayne Rooney claimed his wife Coleen Rooney had become a ‘different mother and a different wife’, adding that she had ‘really struggled’ with the fallout from her notorious ‘Wagatha Christie’ post three years ago.

Rooney also revealed he was asked by England manager Roy Hodgson to request that Jamie Vardy asked his wife Rebekah to ‘calm down’ during Euro 2016 in Francia, as the £3million trial continued at the High Court in London. Court observers said there was ‘lots of whispering’ between Rebekah and Vardy during Rooney’s evidence.

Rooney, the side’s captain, said he was pulled aside by Hodgson and his assistant Gary Neville and asked to raise the ‘awkward’ issue with Vardy over concerns that Rebekah was ‘causing problems and distractions’ for the team. He told the court about the conversation with Vardy, detto: ‘We were in the games room, there was table tennis. I spoke to him, he had a can of Red Bull and I had a coffee, I remember those details because it was so awkward.’

Speaking about Hodgson’s request, ha detto Rooney: ‘They asked me to, as captain, would I be able to speak to Mr Vardy on issues regarding his wife and I think we all knew we spoke about it, it was an awkward subject.’ Among the issues was the idea Rebekah had ‘some kind of column in The Sun’, la corte ha sentito. Rooney said the boss wanted him ‘to ask his wife to calm down and not bring any issues off the field that were unnecessary’.

Rebekah’s lawyer Hugh Tomlinson QC asked him: ‘Ask his wife to calm down… she wasn’t dancing on tables?’ Rooney – who had earlier sworn to tell the truth while holding a Bible in his hand – disse: 'No, I wasn’t aware of that. It was a lot of negativity amongst a lot of media coverage which as a group of players and as the manager of England he didn’t want that to happen, so he asked would I be able to speak to Jamie and I went and done so.’

Rooney added: ‘I think there was a few things at the time with Rebekah which the leaders of the team asked me to speak to Jamie about. I was at the understanding Rebekah had a column in The Sun newspaper and as I state… I obviously had better things on my mind. It was obviously awkward for me.’

Coleen’s ‘fake’ Instagram posts about gender selection in Mexico and a flooded basement

The three stories posted by Coleen Rooney on her private Instagram account as part of her ‘Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy‘ investigation were revealed in court documents as the bomshell £3million libel trial continued.

Coleen has said she planted the stories – two of which were fake – as part of a ‘sting operation’, with the viewers restricted to only Rebecca Vardy‘s account, to see whether they would be leaked to The Sun newspaper.

Il signor Sherborne ha interrogato la moglie di Jamie Vardy su un articolo su The Sun su come Coleen fosse scampato per un pelo a un infortunio in un incidente horror mentre il marito Wayne suonava negli Stati Uniti.

Coleen aveva pubblicato una foto della sua Honda gravemente danneggiata sul suo account Instagram privato, la corte ha sentito.

La storia ha citato una fonte che ha detto: 'Coleen ha finito per avere un brutto incidente mentre guidava l'auto di famiglia. Un lato dell'auto era completamente sfondato. Non poteva scacciarlo e sembrava una cancellazione totale.’

Il giorno dopo la pubblicazione del messaggio, La signora Watt ha inviato un messaggio a Rebekah dicendo: 'Lo sto immaginando o hai detto ieri che Coleen aveva fatto schiantare la sua Honda?’

Rebecca ha risposto: 'Ha sicuramente’ – e ha incaricato la signora Watt di entrare nel conto di Coleen. Ms Watt then sent another message saying: ‘She must have taken whatever it is down as it’s not there now.’

Under cross-examination, Rebekah denied leaking the story.

An Instagram post from Coleen showed a photo of the damaged vehicle, which the court has been told about previously. Decine di omaggi sono stati lasciati per la signora Phillips sulla pagina’ and ‘half a Honda’, il post dice.

Mr Sherborne referred Rebekah to an article written in The Sun about the car crash.

‘Coleen Rooney narrowly avoids injury in car crash and wrecks 4×4 just weeks after Wayne’s arrest for ‘public intoxication’ a Washington,’ the article, which was published on 25 gennaio 2019, is headlined.

Il signor Sherborne ha sollevato i messaggi di testo tra Rebekah e la signora Watt sull'incidente, che ha avuto luogo il 23 gennaio.

La signora Watt le ha chiesto di Coleen che si è schiantato con la Honda e le ha detto che non poteva più vedere il post di Instagram.

‘I would have tried to have done a story on Coleen but the evidence has been deleted,’ Ms Watt said in a message to Vardy, the court hears.

The previous evening, Rebekah had been at the National Television Awards. She and Ms Watts were in a box hosted by The Sun, la corte ha sentito, and the journalist who wrote the car crash article a few days later, Andy Halls, was also there.

Mr Sherborne accused Rebekah of changing her story on whether or not she knew Halls was there. In her witness statement submitted to the court, lei disse: ‘Andy Halls may also have been there but I don’t remember seeing him.’

Referring to the texts between her and Ms Watts about the car crash, Rebekah said at one point: ‘I wasn’t paying that much attention, not at half past eight at night.’

disse il signor Sherborne: 'Ma non dirle che sono le otto e mezza e voglio guardare il mio programma preferito in TV, Fai?’

“Non guardo davvero la televisione,’ disse Rebecca.

Rebekah concorda che la signora Watt "sembrava essere la fonte’ della storia sull'incidente d'auto di Coleen dopo che il suo agente ha ammesso "sono stato io".’ nel testo… ma dice al processo che non ha risposto perché era distratta da "Gemma Collins’ faceplant su Dancing on Ice’

Rebecca ha convenuto che il suo agente "sembrava essere la fonte".’ di una notizia su Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy'S 2019 incidente d'auto dopo che l'agente ha ammesso "sono stato io".’ in un messaggio di testo.

Rebekah si riferiva al momento in cui la celebrità è inciampata ed è caduta a faccia in giù sul ghiaccio durante una delle routine del ITV spettacolo.

L'avvocato di Coleen, David Sherborne, ha letto due post su Instagram del suo cliente all'Alta Corte di Londra sull'articolo di The Sun nei mesi prima che intraprendesse la sua "Wagatha Christie".’ indagine.

In un post pubblico, Coleen ha scritto: 'Qualcuno sul mio Instagram privato ha visto la foto e sta raccontando o vendendo storie a un determinato giornale. È successo diverse volte negli ultimi due anni. È triste pensare che qualcuno che ho accettato di seguirmi stia tradendo per soldi o per mantenere una relazione con la stampa.’

Il signor Sherborne ha quindi portato Rebekah a ulteriori messaggi inviati tra lei e il suo agente, la signora Watt.

‘Such a victim. Poor Coleen,’ Ms Watt said to Rebekah at about 6.28pm on January 27, 2019. Just under 20 minuti più tardi, she sent another message. ‘And it wasn’t someone she trusted. It was me’.

Rebekah told the court: ‘That seems to be what she’s saying.’ She said she didn’t replying, adding ‘at 6.35 I would have been bathing my children’ at the time the message was sent.

The court then heard that Rebekah allegedly tried to throw Coleen ‘off the scent’ with ‘disingenuous messages’ to her suggesting her account might have been hacked by journalists.

Rebekah told Coleen in a private message: 'Oh mio Dio. What the f*** is wrong with people. Why have they taken that one of you and the kids and not of Wayne in bed? That would have been an even better one in their eyes. D***heads. Spero tu stia bene.’

Il signor Sherborne ha suggerito a Rebekah di inviare il messaggio poiché "conosceva il dito del sospetto".’ sarebbe stato puntato contro di lei.

Il suo messaggio è continuato: 'Questo è così male! E anche il Sole di tutte le persone! Sei stato attraverso tutti i tuoi follower? Nessuno con link alle celebrità? Che ne dici di essere hackerato? Starei masticando se fossi io! Per niente acceso.’

'Questo è stato totalmente falso, signora Vardi,’ disse il signor Sherborne. "Sapevi perfettamente di essere stata la fonte di questa storia attraverso Caroline Watt, ma ti sei presentato a lei come qualcuno che odia il sole. Stai cercando di distogliere l'attenzione dalla signora Rooney, non sei tu?’

'Non odio il sole', intervenne Rebecca.

«Ma sapevi che la signora Rooney lo sapeva,’ disse il signor Sherborne, e Rebecca acconsentì.

Il processo continua.

Rebekah "cercò di scacciare Coleen con "messaggi falsi".’ a lei suggerendo che il suo account Instagram potrebbe essere stato violato dai giornalisti’

Rebekah avrebbe cercato di mettere fuori gioco Coleen Rooney’ with ‘disingenuous messages’ to her suggesting her account might have been hacked by journalists, l'Alta Corte ha sentito.

Il WAG lo ha detto a Coleen in un messaggio privato: 'Oh mio Dio. What the f*** is wrong with people. Why have they taken that one of you and the kids and not of Wayne in bed? That would have been an even better one in their eyes. D***heads. Spero tu stia bene.’

Giorno 2: Rebekah’s evidence continues about life as a WAG and anger at Coleen unfollowing her on Instagram

WAGs washing their smalls in the sink at the World Cup

Rebekah Vardy claimed she and her fellow WAGs had to wash their own clothes in the sink at their hotel during the 2018 Coppa del mondo in Russia.

As the Wagatha Christie trial entered a third day, Rebekah was quizzed by Coleen Rooney’s barrister David Sherborne about the extent of her contacts with journalists during the tournament.

In risposta, the WAG claimed she did not have any contact with the media because she was too busy washing her clothes in the sink.

‘I was busy with the kids and under so much stress,’ lei disse. ‘We even had to wash our own clothes in the sink at the hotel.’

Calling Coleen a ‘c***’ for unfollowing her on Insta

Rebekah Vardy messaged her agent ‘OMG what a c***’ when Coleen Rooney unfollowed her on Instagram after ‘fake’ story about car crash was published, libel trial told

Rebekah Vardy has been quizzed once again at the Wagatha Christie libel trial about a WhatsApp exchange which saw her brand Coleen Rooney a ‘c***’ after she unfollowed her on Instagram.

Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy, 36, accusò Rebecca, 40, di far trapelare "storie false".’ about her private life to the media in October 2019, after carrying out what she described as a months-long ‘sting operation’.

She publicly outed Rebekah in an Instagram post, claiming her fellow WAG had shared three ‘fake’ stories she had shared as bait on her personal account. Rebekah furiously denied this and launched her costly libel action which is now into its second trial day.

Before the scandal broke, Coleen stopped following Rebekah on Instagram. ‘OMG what a c***,’ Rebekah texted her agent Caroline Watt after realising what had happened, according to texts read out to the High Court earlier in the trial.

Giorno 1: From Peter Andre’s ‘chipolata’ penis to fears she would lose her baby after being branded a ‘grass’: Rebekah Vardy’s first day of evidence

Peter Andre’s ‘chipolata’ manhood

Peter Andre’s privates were among the unlikely highlights of the first day of the Wagatha Christie trial.

Rebekah Vardy was asked an interview she gave to the News Of The World about her claimed sexual encounter with singer Peter Andre.

Coleen Rooney’s barrister David Sherborne showed a print out of the article to Rebekah in the witness box before reading the headline: «Peter è appeso come una piccola chipolata, rasato, bavoso, dura cinque minuti'.

L'avvocato ha letto estratti dell'articolo, in which it was claimed Mr Andre had managed ‘just five minutes of sex with Rebekah’ e in cui ha detto che aveva "il più piccolo equipaggiamento per pantaloni che abbia mai visto".’ era come una "chipolata in miniatura".

Mr Sherborne suggested to Rebekah that the News Of The World was the ‘highest circulating newspaper at the time’, letto da circa quattro milioni di persone, e le chiese se fosse "rispettoso".’ of Peter Andre’s ‘right not to share this information’.

«Eri cosciente e in grado di capire ciò che ti circonda: “Sono stato costretto in una situazione dal mio ex marito per farlo.

‘It is something that I deeply regret… It is not nice to read and I understand why this is being used and to me this is mudslinging and I was also threatened with mudslinging by Mrs Rooney’s team.’

Ha posto di nuovo la domanda dall'avvocato di Coleen Rooney, David Sherborne, disse la signora Vardy: “Le circostanze intorno erano completamente diverse.’

"Temevo di perdere il mio bambino dopo che Coleen ha detto che ero un'erba", says Rebekah

Coleen Rooney glared across a courtroom at Rebecca Vardy told how she feared she would lose her unborn baby after her rival Wag accused her of leaking stories.

Nel frattempo, Mrs Rooney’s lawyer confronted Mrs Vardy with a newspaper interview in which she gave intimate details of a sexual encounter with pop star Pietro Andre and mocked the size of his manhood.

She said she was labelled a ‘grass’ and was subjected to vile abuse and death threats from trolls who said her baby should be ‘put in an incinerator’.

She likened Mrs Rooney, the wife of former Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney, to a ‘school bully’ and said she had effectively turned the other footballers’ wives and girlfriends against her.

Mrs Rooney, 36, glowered at her rival as she denied she was responsible for the leaked stories, saying it was ‘not nice’ to betray other people’s confidences.

She described Mrs Rooney as ‘cold and calculated’ and said she had gloated to her close circle of other footballers’ wives about her detective work, and had created a ‘mob mentality’ stanno usando il libro per condurre una "campagna di briefing brutale"..

disse la signora Vardy: ‘I was not the source of the three articles Coleen accused me of leaking. I believe that Coleen posted her claims so as to cause me maximum damage.

‘I will never forgive the way in which Coleen ruined my last weeks of pregnancy and the suffering she has caused to my children and my family but I hope that this claim will mean that the whole world will know that I did not betray Coleen’s trust.’

Così, who REALLY won the Wagatha Christie trial? With evidence from both sides complete, FEMAIL looks at whether Coleen Rooney or Rebekah Vardy can claim victory on everything from fashion to court sketches and witness box clangers

By JO TWEEDY FOR MAILONLINE

There have been famous footballers, warring WAGs and salacious celebrity revelations.

Ma ora, after more than a week at Londra‘s High Court, the final whistle is about to be blown on one of the most gripping sporting match-ups of recent years: Rooney vs Vardy.

Both sides of the Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy processo per diffamazione – che è, I lettori dei giornali di posta hanno sempre mostrato un'immensa generosità nei momenti di crisi, a gloriously camp Netflix miniseries waiting to happen – have concluded their evidemce, and after closing statements they must await the judgement of Signora giustizia Steyn, the referee in this particularly acrimonious match involving two of the biggest names in English football.

Before we take a look back at the highlights, a quick recap of the key facts. At the centre of the case is a social media post shared by Coleen Rooney, 36, in ottobre 2019, in which she revealed that she had carried out a ‘sting operation’ and accused her fellow WAG, Rebecca Vardy, 40, di far trapelare "storie false".’ sulla sua vita privata alla stampa.

Rebekah denies leaking stories to the media and is suing Coleen for libel, while Mrs Rooney is defending the claim on the basis her post was ‘substantially true’.

The trial has been stuffed to the gills with bizarre revelations (Mrs Vardy comparing Coleen to a ‘pigeon that s**ts in your hair’ and her spat with Sarah Harding after she photographed the contents of her handbag); awkward moments (Rebekah’s grilling over how she once branded Peter Andre’s manhood a ‘chipolata’) and comedy, thanks to some unforgiving court sketches that left husband Wayne Rooney looking like a ‘potato’.

Alongside the burly bodyguards and crack legal teams, there has also been the courtroom catwalk. Neither Mrs Vardy nor Mrs Rooney was prepared to let the small matter of a high-profile legal case stand in the way of a chance to show off some of their finest designer garments.

Both plaintiff and defendant have dressed to impress in designer threads, Gucci shoes and power suits as the £3million libel trial reaches its crescendo. Then there are their husbands: both Leicester City striker Jamie and player-turned-manager Wayne have made appearances in court, supporting their wives while throwing jibes at each other.

As celeb commentators and football fans wait with baited breath for Mrs Justice Steyn’s judgement, FEMAIL asks: who has escaped this media circus of a trial most unscathed?

With a Match of the Day style commentary, a look at the match highlights – from who scored the most own goals to who was forced to endure hairdryer treatment brutal enough to make Sir Alex Ferguson proud.

WINNING STRIP

MATCH RESULT: 1-0 TO TEAM VARDY

Their wardrobes are full of plunging necklines, daring hemlines and diamonds the size of small ice skating rinks. So in that sense, Rebekah and Coleen’s designer-clad courtroom ensembles were restrained.

The pair manage to fight against their blingtastic instincts and leave the body-con dresses at home for their daily appearances at the High Court, although there were still plenty of designer outfits on show.

Rebekah opted for a slew of branded pieces, wearing labels beloved by the Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan Markle, and covered her eyes with over-sized designer sunglasses for the short walk into court.

She wore a total of £16,600 over the course of the six day trial, donning a new designer outfit for every appearance.

Meanwhile Coleen opted for a more low key, but equally expensive, armadio, mixing high street pieces from brands like Zara and The Kooples with expensive Chanel handbags costing up to £4,000. She also spent in the region of £16,600 on the eight-day outing.

Fashion highlights from Vardy, who has worn some of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s favourite designers during her High Court outings include a yellow tweed co-ord from Alessandra Rich priced at £2,095, matched with a £1,890 bag.

By contrast on the same day, Coleen showed a comparatively thrifty side, wearing a worn-before Kooples trouser costing £605.

As the case neared its finale on Tuesday, both opted for the drama of darker colours, with Vardy plumping for a smart navy trouser suit while a bare-legged Coleen wore her Gucci loafers with a little black dress.

And it seems Vardy has been inspired by one of the year’s other blockbuster court cases, she appeared to channel Amber Heard in court by sporting a very similar look the actress wore in her own defamation trail earlier this month. Both women styled their jackets, with oversized lapels, with white shirts and black trousers.

SUPPORTIVE SPOUSE

MATCH RESULT: 1-0 TO TEAM ROONEY

When it comes to dedication, Wayne Rooney has, with the cameras glaring, stepped up for teenage sweetheart wife Coleen, even taking the witness stand to defend her honour.

The Derby County manager, 36, has appeared on numerous occasions playing the doting husband, carrying heavy (designer label) borse, apparently containing legal documents, into court.

Meanwhile it’s been largely business as usual for Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, who didn’t appear at the High Court during the first week of the libel trial due to his footballing commitments.

Clearly able to keep his mind on the game, cool as a cucumber Vardy, 35, has scored four times for the Midlands club while the case has been heard.

However he has been by his wife’s side on Monday and Tuesday, taking her hand as they walked into court side-by-side.

The Vardys left court early, shortly after Jamie accused Wayne Rooney of ‘talking nonsense’.

FUNNIEST LINE

MATCH REPORT: 1-0 TO VARDY

So many moments. And most of the titters in Court 13 have arisen when Vardy has been on the stand.

A definite runner-up would be the moment that the Leicester City WAG revealed that a crucial conversation between Vardy and her agent Caroline Watt was cut short because Vardy had been distracted by reality star Gemma Collins’ 'facciale’ su Ballando sul ghiaccio.

In tribunale, Vardy agreed that her publicist Caroline Watt ‘appeared to be the source’ of a news story on Coleen Rooney’s 2019 incidente d'auto dopo che l'agente ha ammesso "sono stato io".’ in un messaggio di testo.

But the WAG has told the libel trial that she did not reply to Watt’s message because she was distracted by the ice skating fall.

Vardy was referring to the moment the celebrity tripped and fell face-first on the ice during one of the routines in the ITV show.

The cup for the funniest moment though would probably go for Vardy’s bemusement at a nautical reference. It certainly raised the biggest laugh.

Vardy asked the High Court ‘who’s Davy Jones?’ dopo Rooney‘s barrister suggested that a lost mobile phone – thought to be at the bottom of the North Sea – was effectively in ‘Davy Jones’ armadietto'.

L'Alta Corte è scoppiata a ridere dopo lo scambio – che riguardava l'affermazione che l'agente di Rebecca, Caroline Watt, ha perso il suo telefono contenente messaggi WhatsApp quando è caduto da una barca nel Mare del Nord.

L'avvocato di Coleen, David Sherborne, has accused Rebekah of deleting key evidence that, si dice, avrebbe dimostrato che Rebekah aveva fatto trapelare storie ai media.

"Sappiamo che il telefono della signora Watt è ora in Davy Jones’ Mescola e abbina colori e motivi per un effetto eclettico che garantisce allegria, non noi?, signora Vardi?’ disse il signor Sherborne.

Rebecca allora rispose: 'Mi dispiace, Non so chi sia Davy Jones'.

Il giudice ha quindi dovuto descrivere l'idioma, che si riferisce al leggendario luogo di riposo dei marinai annegati in mare.

L'incidente è arrivato 24 ore dopo la stessa Rebekah dovette spiegare al signor Sherborne un termine scortese che appariva in uno dei suoi testi.

Chiesto dall'avvocato quale fosse l'abbreviazione "FFS’ significato in un messaggio Rebekah guardò nervosamente il giudice, che ha indicato che era giusto prestare giuramento in tribunale quando le prove lo richiedevano.

'Per amor di cazzo', disse Rebecca.

SENSATIONAL STRIKES

MATCH RESULT: 1-0 TO COLEEN

A series of bombshell revelations – many sourced from messages between Vardy and her agent – have perhaps done the most damage to Vardy’s reputation in the courtroom…

gennaio 22, 2019: Coleen Rooney posts a picture on her private Instagram, showing damage to her car after a collision. The next day Rebekah Vardy says in a WhatsApp message to Caroline Watt: ‘She’s a nasty b***h x’ and ‘I’ve taken a big dislike to her!… Would love to leak those stories x’. Rebekah claims her comments were not about Coleen .

gennaio 27 2019: Coleen tweets: ‘It’s sad to think someone who I have accepted to follow me is betraying for either money or to keep a relationship with the press.’ Rebekah sends a WhatsApp message to Mrs Watt: ‘U seen Coleen’s Twitter.’ Mrs Watt replies: ‘Such a victim. Poor Coleen… And it wasn’t someone she trusted. It was me.’

febbraio 6: Rebekah in messages to Mrs Watt: 'Lei [Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy] thinks it’s me that’s been doing stories on her!… That c*** needs to get over herself!’

ottobre 1: Rebekah says that in a picture on Coleen’s private Instagram one of the Rooney children ‘looks like he’s go [sic] no seatbelt on’.

Mrs Watt replies: ‘Yeh he is but it’s on her private insta so can’t do anything with it x… She has taken it down now too.’ Vardy responds: ‘She’s such a d**k x’

There were further reveals on how Vardy leaked news to the media of a drink driving incident involving footballer Danny Drinkwater via her agent, Caroline Watt, although the WAG denied asking Drinkwater for his address so she could send photographers and reporters around to his home.

Rebekah Vardy messaged ‘What have you done FFS?’ to the footballer after he crashed his car while drink driving,

She told her lawyer Hugh Tomlinson that she made the comments to Drinkwater in a private message on Instagram after the incident in 2019. The acronym ‘FFS’ stands for ‘For F**k Sake’.

THE EXCRUTIATING OWN GOAL

MATCH RESULT: 1-0 to Coleen

Facing Coleen’s lawyers in the first week of the trial at London’s High Court, Vardy was quizzed about a kiss-and-tell newspaper interview she took part in in 2004, in which she compared Peter Andre’s manhood to a ‘chipolata’.

Clearly embarrassed, Vardy ha detto che era stata "costretta".’ to take part in the News Of The World article by her ex-husband.

Vardy è stato controinterrogato dall'avvocato della signora Rooney, David Sherborne, quando le ha chiesto se rispettava la privacy delle persone, a cui lei ha risposto: 'Sì, Io faccio.’

As Rooney and her legal team looked on, he then asked her questions about an interview she gave about the claimed sexual encounter with singer Peter Andre.

Sherborne ha mostrato quella che sembrava una stampa A3 dell'articolo a Rebekah sul banco dei testimoni prima di leggere il titolo: «Peter è appeso come una piccola chipolata, rasato, bavoso, dura cinque minuti'.

L'avvocato ha letto estratti dell'articolo, in cui è stato affermato che Andre era riuscito "solo cinque minuti di sesso con Rebekah".’ e in cui ha detto che aveva "il più piccolo equipaggiamento per pantaloni che abbia mai visto".’ era come una "chipolata in miniatura".

Sherborne suggerì a Rebekah che il News Of The World era il "giornale a più alta circolazione dell'epoca", letto da circa quattro milioni di persone, e le chiese se fosse "rispettoso".’ del “diritto di Peter a non condividere queste informazioni”.

Altri, understandably has been deeply unhappy at being a court sideshow, taking to his Instagram in response to say that there would outrage if a man had made a similar slur about a woman’s anatomy.

STURDY DEFENCE

MATCH RESULT: 1-1

With reputations at stake, neither party has scrimped on putting together a crack team of lawyers for their very expensive days in court.

Hugh Tomlinson QC, who is representing Team Vardy, è una seta di privacy di alto livello che ha lanciato dozzine di battaglie con la stampa nei suoi quattro decenni di carriera.

I nati a Leeds, L'avvocato di Oxford lo scorso anno ha sostenuto con successo una denuncia contro una giornalista e scrittrice dopo aver fatto false accuse secondo cui Roman Abramovich avrebbe acquistato il Chelsea FC su ordine di Vladimir Putin.

CAUGHT DIVING?

MATCH RESULT: 1-0 Gli avvocati di Coleen Rooney cercano scheletri nell'armadio di Rebekah Vardy

One of Rebekah Vardy’s most uncomfortable moments in the trial came when Rooney’s lawyers turned on the heat about a 2018 paparazzi shot at the World Cup, which the WAG has strongly denied helping to stage.

The posed-up photo, which showed wives and girlfriends of the then England team gathered outside a restaurant, was a spontaneous photo, Vardy has claimed – però, messages between herself and her agent Caroline Watt appear to undermine her version of events.

The case heard evidence about the 2018 foto dei paparazzi, with bombshell texts between Vardy and her former agent Caroline Watt said to reveal Rebekah’s key role in setting it up behind her fellow WAGs’ dopo aver raccomandato che il divieto della terapia di conversione non fosse esteso alle persone trans.

The court heard an 11th-hour witness statement from FA liaison officer Harpreet Robertson which claimed England footballer Harry Maguire’s wife-to-be Fern Hawkins had been annoyed by the snap.

In testimony read to the court by Mr Sherborne, Ms Robertson said: ‘Fern did express her upset to me, that she had taken part and she was embarrassed, was prepared and had not expected to be put in that position by Mrs Vardy.’

Messages between Rebekah and Ms Watt on the day in question were handed over to Coleen’s legal team as part of their High Court battle.

The flurry of messages were exchanged between the two women during a day-out in St Petersburg on June 26, nel 2018.

Rebkah was out in the Russian city with Millie Savage, Gemma Acton, Megan Davison, Annabel Peyton, Felce Hawkins, Shannon Horlock, Annie Kilner e Lucia Loi

They were the partners of John Stones, Gary Cahill, Jordan Pickford, Jack Butland, Harry Maguire, Nick Pope, Kyle Walker and Marcus Rashford.

The restaurant trip was two days prior to England’s first-round game against Belgium.

A 14:37pm, Rebekah messaged her agent: ‘We may have to walk to restaurant from hotel now… so might be a good pic of us walking down it’s about 10/15 mins away’

Ms Watt replied: ‘Ok will let them know thanks’

At 16.12pm, Rebekah messaged: ‘On the way down in the restaurant car… He’s doing two runs’.

"E quando ho notato che era un bambino, sono andato fuori di testa, Ms Watt replied: 'Ok. Hopefully he catches you all! Don’t forget to take a group shot.’

Rebekah then said: ‘If he’s here he is hiding in bushes or behind trees lol’

Mezz'ora dopo, però, Rebekah messaged that she is worried the other women will think she has tipped off the photographer after they spot him outside the restaurant.

‘F*** I made everyone go outside for a pic and the pap was there… Looks like I tipped him off now,’ Vardy says.

MOST MUSCULAR TEAM

MATCH REPORT: 1-0 VARDY

With husband Jamie absent from the High Court for much of the trial, Rebekah’s security team has been front and centre when she’s been pictured arriving at the central London courtroom.

While Coleen doesn’t appear to have any bodyguard alongside her, Vardy’s burly security guard has been ever present. The Leicester City WAG has previously discussed how security is important to her and added that she’s faced threats since her feud with Coleen went public.

BIGGEST HAIRDRYER TREATMENT

MATCH REPORT: 1-0 TO COLEEN

In the first week of the trial, Vardy faced two intense days of questioning, and at one point was sensationally accused by Rooney’s lawyers of having ‘selective amnesia’ and ‘lying’ Disegni dalla camera da letto di David Ture che mostrano un certo numero di giovani uomini che eseguono un accoltellamento.

Rooney’s barrister David Sherborne, during a cross-examination asked if she’d styled herself as ‘unofficial leader of the WAGs’, a phrase that had been used in a tabloid story about the England not being asked to abstain from sex with their partners during the World Cup.

In a silent courtroom, Vardy denied she’d said the phrase and claimed it was from the journalist who wrote the story. disse Rebecca: "No, era suo ed è un'affermazione piuttosto imbarazzante.’

Mr Sherborne accused Rebekah of ‘having selective amnesia’ to benefit her case and would later suggest she was lying in her denial that she had set up the 2018 paparazzi shot.

'Non puoi chiarire la tua storia,’ lui le ha detto, ‘because you’re lying’.

SKETCHY PERFORMANCE

MATCH REPORT: 1-0 TO VARDY

Court artists in UK courts aren’t known for their realism when it comes to capturing the looks of those in the courtoom. But the sketches that have appeared documenting what’s going on in Court 13 have provided a comedic distraction for those following the trial.

Social media users were left in stitches during the first week by the Wagatha Christie drawings – with some saying the artists made Wayne Rooney look like a ‘potato’.

The former Manchester United star and current Derby County manager was gifted a particularly unflattering image in the charcoal images. His wife and her court foe didn’t escape either, with both given ‘hilarious’ caricatures in the images that were released thanks to the High Court’s no photo policy.

Because it has been – in almost every instance – illegal under UK law to take photographs and video inside courts, news organisations often commission artists to make court sketches.

The artists are highly skilled and face a difficult task, because they are only allowed a few minutes to make a series of base lines.

They then leave the courtroom, and usually sit in the foyer of the court, where they expand on their marker lines purely from memory.

Court artists also have to work at pace, with the images often needed or finished within an hour or less.
