Rebekah needs 'to move on'

Rebekah Vardy's 'fixation' with the Wagatha case after the legal costs hearing is 'in danger of consuming her', an expert tells new

It's been five years since Coleen Rooney shocked the showbiz world when she accused Rebekah Vardy's account of leaking stories about herto the press in a bombshell social media post.

It later led to their infamous Wagatha Christie trial in 2022, with Coleen coming out victorious after Rebekah lost her libel claim - but it appears the ordeal is farfrom over.

Last week, things took another turn as the WAGs headed back to court in a showdown over Coleen's £1.8 million legal bill.

Rebekah - who was ordered to pay 90% of Coleen's costs challenged the "sheer magnitude" of them, claiming that they included a substantial bill for one of Coleen's lawyers to stay at a five-star London hotel, as well as a food and mini-bar tab.

However, Coleen's lawyer hit back, saying that claims about hotel costs were "factually incorrect". He also argued that the costs could have been lower if Rebekah had "conducted this litigation appropriately".

In another win for Coleen, a judge ruled that her lawyers had not committed wrongdoing and it was "not appropriate" to reduce her legal bill.

Rebekah was also ordered to pay her another £100,000, with a total settlement to be decided next year.
