Rebekah Vardy Ordered To Cover Coleen Rooney's Legal Costs In Wagatha Christie Trial


In the UK, Rebekah Vardy's been ordered to pay £1.5m (€1.7m) towards Coleen Rooney's legal costs following the so-called "Wagatha Christie" libel trial.

Rebekah Vardy lost her legal battle in July when a judge found claims she leaked private information about Coleen Rooney to the press were "substantially true".

She must pay £800,000 of the sum before November 15th.

The final costs ruling will be confirmed once Rooney submits her final total costs bill.

Although the exact figure of Vardy's own costs is not known, it's likely to be a similar amount to Rooney's, stretching into the millions.

Vardy has also been ordered to pay part of the costs of seven journalists who were potential witnesses but did not actually give evidence in the week-long trial. Rooney has also been ordered to pay a portion of their costs.
