She says: ‘I got a message from Rebekah saying “what is this?”.

Between September 2017 and October 2019, The Sun published a number of articles about Coleen, including her traveling to Mexico to investigate the ‘gender selection’ treatment of babies, her plan to revive her TV career and the flood from her basement.
But on October 9, 2019, Coleen shared a stunning Instagram post revealing she had been sharing false stories and limiting viewers to just one person to see if they made it into the paper. The goal was to discover the leak.
The iconic ending line read: ‘It’s…….Rebekah Vardy’s account’. The public dispute is making headlines around the world, with the hashtag #WagathaChristie trending.
Rebekah took Coleen to the High Court for defamation and vehemently denied leaking stories. Vardy lost the case, with the judge ruling that the allegation against her was ‘substantially true’.

While on the stand, Wayne said Coleen had become a “different mother and a different woman” during the three-year saga.
The footballer also revealed that he was asked by England manager Roy Hodgson to ask Jamie Vardy to ask his wife Rebekah to ‘calm down’ during the 2016 European Championship in France.
When asked by David Sherborne, Coleen’s lawyer, if he would have wanted to stand in court for six days supporting his wife, Rooney replied: “I don’t think anyone wants to stand in court, but for me and my wife we don’t want that. be in court. I’ve watched my wife struggle over the last two, two and a half years with everything that’s happened… she’s become a different mother, a different woman.
‘It has been very traumatic for my wife because of this situation. Hopefully, whatever the verdict… I, my wife, and our children can move on and live our lives. This is not something we wanted to be a part of.”
Wayne also revealed that he first heard most of the information about this case during the ‘long’ week at the Supreme Court.
He said: “Sitting in this courtroom this week is the first time I have heard almost anything about this case. It’s been a long week. It’s the first time I’ve heard anything about this case.’
Coleen was awarded legal costs by the court and £800,000 of the total amount owed was immediately due and payable.
Rebekah is said to have scored one of the worst own goals in British legal history after a High Court judge dismissed her evidence as ‘evasive or implausible’ and accused her of deliberately deleting WhatsApp messages at the heart of the case.
Her agent, Caroline Watt, was also accused of deliberately dropping her phone into the North Sea. During the trial, some of Rebekah’s personal text messages to her Caroline were read out.
Coleen said: “The texts made me sick. They were just on another level. When I read them, I thought: the wickedness and the hatred they had for someone they don’t even know.’
Although Coleen appears to harbor no ill will towards Rebekah, she said: ‘I’m a forgive and forget person, I can’t worry about things going on. But this is of course completely different.’
“You can’t go wrong if you tell the truth.”
