Coleen Rooney's legal bill in Rebekah Vardy court battle tops £1.8m, court told


Rebekah Vardy has to pay 90 per cent of Coleen's legal fees after losing the infamous Wagatha Christie libel case

Mr Carpenter highlighted concerns with the legal bill presented, describing it as "drawn without sufficient care" and packed with a "kitchen sink" approach, unreasonably including "over £120,000 of costs to which Mrs Rooney has no entitlement".
