Rebekah Vardy jets out of the country on a budget flight after being ordered to pay Coleen Rooney £1.4M - as her rival shared her 'relief' after Wagatha Christie showdown was settled


Rebekah Vardy has left the UK after being ordered to pay Coleen Rooney a huge sum in their Wagatha Christie settlement following the years-long legal battle.

The catalyst for the famous Wagatha Christie case was a dramatic open letter written by Coleen and posted on social media in October 2019 in which she revealed she had turned detective to figure out who had been leaking the stories. Coleen publicly claimed Rebekah's account was the source behind three newspaper stories featuring fake details she had posted on her private Instagram profile - her travelling to Mexico for a 'gender selection' procedure, her planning to return to TV and the basement flooding at her home. Four months later, in June 2020, Rebekah began legal proceedings against Coleen for libel with her lawyers alleging she had 'suffered extreme distress, hurt, anxiety and embarrassment as a result of the publication of the post and the events which followed'.
