Coleen Rooney, left, and Rebekah Vardy (PA) Rebekah Vardy is due to find out whether she has succeeded in a bid to have parts of Coleen Rooney’s defence in their libel battle thrown out by a High Court judge. Mrs Rooney, 35, accused Mrs Vardy, 39, of leaking “false stories” about her private life in October 2019 after carrying out a months-long “sting operation” which saw her dubbed “Wagatha Christie”. The wife of former England star Wayne Rooney publicly claimed her fellow footballer’s wife shared fake stories she had posted on her personal Instagram account with the newspaper, earning her the nickname “Wagatha Christie”.
