Rebekah Vardy sued Coleen Rooney for defamation in the ' Wagatha Christie' scandal.

Vardy was ordered to pay 90% of Rooney 's legal costs and cover those incurred by the Sun journalists who were dragged into the proceedings.

She said she felt it was time to reclaim her authenticity, but stood by her defamation claim.

Jamie Vardy says she and her then agent Caroline Watt were both party to Wayne Rooney ’s posts to The Sun .

The verdict in the trial noted that Vardy had been subjected to “vile abuse, including messages wishing her, her family, and even her (then unborn) baby, ill in the most awful terms.

Watt did not appear at the trial, citing psychiatric illness, and the verdict described the absence as “striking”.
