Rebekah Vardy must pay Coleen Rooney another £100,000 after losing their Wagatha Christie libel trial legal costs battle with full amount to be decided next year Wayne Rooney's wife was spotted this morning following another legal win By Aidan Radnedge Published: 12:16 EDT, 9 October 2024 | Updated: 12:16 EDT, 9 October 2024 e-mail 16 View comments Rebekah Vardy has been ordered to pay Coleen Rooney another £100,000 in the latest twist in their ' Wagatha Christie ' libel battle - with a total settlement to be decided next year. Barristers for the two have been back in court in a dispute over legal costs after Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy 's wife Rebekah lost her High Court claim against Coleen, who is married to ex-England captain Wayne Rooney , in 2022. It followed Coleen accusing her fellow WAG of leaking private information about her to the Press, with today marking five years since the viral post at the centre of the row.
Rebekah, 42, was later intructed to pay 90 per cent of 38-year-old Coleen's fees, with an initial payment of £800,000 , but has been challenging the claimed £1.8million costs. At the end of the latest hearing, which began on Monday, senior costs judge Andrew Gordon-Saker has now told Rebekah to pay an extra £100,000 within 21 days.
