This comes after it was revealed at the High Court that Coleen kept her husband Wayne Rooney, 35, in the dark when she launched her infamous sting investigation against Rebekah.

Coleen’s lawyer David Sherborne revealed his client’s secrecy as he fought a motion from Rebekah’s lawyers to have a large portion of Coleen’s defence ‘struck out’.

It came as Rebekah’s counsel said her children were abused at school as a result of Coleen’s Wagatha Christie Instagram post accusing their mother of leaking stories.

Rebekah, 39, launched her £1.5m claim after Coleen accused her in her October 2019 Instagram post of being the source of leaks to the media on stories about her.

The court has heard how peace talks between the warring WAGs broke down during mediation and the case is now expected to go to a full trial.

Coleen wrote on Instagram and Twitter: 'I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them. It's ……………. Rebekah Vardy's account'

Hugh Tomlinson QC for Rebekah Vardy, told the libel court that the case had been extremely serious, despite the ‘highly entertaining stories in the media referring to the Wagatha Christie… she suffered widespread abuse and hostility as a result of the post for a long period and her children were also abused at school. It was a very serious matter for her’.

The long-running feud between the high-profile WAGS erupted after Coleen revealed that she had set a trap to see who was responsible for the leaks, which earned her the nickname Wagatha Christie.

Coleen famously wrote: ‘I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them. It’s ……………. Rebekah Vardy’s account.’

Rebekah’s team have now launched a bid to have large parts of Coleen’s defence in the ongoing libel case struck out.

David Sherborne described the attempt by Rebekah’s side to exclude large portions of evidence from the hearing as ‘a tactical exercise to remove evidence which serves to undermine her case or embarrass her.’
