Vardy faces a new court date, unless she throws in towel

Linen firm Christy unhappy with Wagatha Christie brand

- SASKIA ROWLANDS

WARRING Wag Rebekah Vardy is going into battle again - and this time it's over the Wagatha Christie trademark.

Rebekah, wife of Leicester City striker Jamie, owns the commercial rights to the name and could therefore use it to market a range of products.

But the Wagatha trademark has rubbed posh linen firm Christy up the wrong way and they have accused Rebekah of imitating their 170-year-old brand.

Bosses at the upmarket retailer have lodged a complaint with the Intellectual Property Office, claiming the brands are too alike.

The row is now in the hands of trademark lawyers - and that could see mum-of-five Rebekah, 41, at the centre of yet another High Court clash.
