Coleen Rooney has, for the first time, spoken about her time in court against Rebekah Vardy, the wife of footballer Jamie Vardy. Their court case had been dubbed ‘Wagatha Christie’.

‘Wagatha Christie’ is a portmanteau of WAG (wives and girlfriends of sportspersons) and the name of famous detective novelist Agatha Christie. Here’s what the case is about. Coleen Rooney had accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking information from her Instagram stories to The Sun newspaper. In turn, Rebekah Vardy sued Coleen Rooney for defamation. But the High Court ruled that Coleen Rooney's accusations were correct. Coleen Rooney won the £3 million libel case against Rebekah Vardy. Now, in an interview with British Vogue magazine, Coleen Rooney has spoken up about the case. She said Rebekah Vardy made her uncomfortable in court, and that her texts were «evil». Coleen Rooney further revealed how she planned to expose Becca Vardy. Here’s how her plan went: Coleen planted fake Instagram stories on her handle, about her personal life. She kept those posts private, only making them visible to Rebekah's handle (which she wasn’t aware of). Soon, Coleen found out, as she claimed, that Rebekah was leaking stories from her personal life to The Sun. «I feel like a lot of people still don’t understand what happened, from beginning to end,” Coleen said to British Vogue, adding that she sticks to what she said about the Instagram posts. About Rebekah, she said that she wasn’t her friend. »I felt like she was in the same world as me. She was in the public eye. I thought she would be protective over that kind of thing. We could associate because our husbands had played for England together. But she doesn’t live around here.
