The High Court trial is now under way, with former England footballer Wayne Rooney among those listed to give evidence.

Coleen Rooney’s barrister has said Rebekah Vardy had the “means, opportunity and motive” to be responsible for leaking the fake stories from Ms Rooney’s Instagram account. In a skeleton argument submitted to the trial earlier in the hearing, lawyers for Vardy said Mrs Rooney’s post that she had discovered the source of the leak was a “serious attack on Mrs Vardy”. She told the court she went through a “terrible, terrible relationship” and the interview was something she “deeply regrets”.

Rebekah Vardy “had no choice” but to bring the libel claim against Coleen Rooney to “establish her innocence” the High Court has been told.

"And unlike Mrs Vardy again, she is not so keen to get lots of self-promotion or favourable coverage," he added. She replied: "I was forced into a situation by my ex-husband to do this.

That must be concealment,” he wrote. He said it was a "surprise" to them when her post accusing Mrs Vardy was made, he added. "That was the motive, why Mrs Vardy leaked information to The Sun." He said in written submissions: “The allegation in the post was and remains false: Mrs Vardy had not leaked information about Mrs Rooney or her friends and family to the Sun newspaper from her private Instagram account. Mr Sherborne said there had been a "series of unfortunate or ... improbable events" in the case, and that Coleen Rooney remained convinced her assertion in the post complained of was true, which is why she has not apologised. It is not nice to read and I understand why this is being used and to me this is mudslinging and I was also threatened with mudslinging by Mrs Rooney's team." Mr Sherborne suggested to Mrs Vardy that the News Of The World was the "highest circulating newspaper at the time", read by some four million people. The barrister read excerpts from the article, in which it was claimed Mr Andre had managed "just five minutes of sex with Rebekah" and in which she said he had "the smallest trouser equipment I've ever seen" that was like a "miniature chipolata". Rebekah Vardy was asked this afternoon whether it was "respectful" of Peter Andre's "right not to share this information" about their sexual encounter with a newspaper.

In written submissions, Rooney’s lawyers said these were not a series of “unfortunate” incidents. As a result, Rooney simply “can’t establish that Mrs Vardy was responsible” for the leaks, Tomlinson told the court. “In essence this is a detective story,” he said. Vardy is now suing Rooney for libel, arguing that the accusation was false. In one incident, Sheborne highlighted how a “poor unfortunate phone” belonging to Watt was accidentally dropped off the side of a boat in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland within “days” of a legal request to search it. With the leaking of private information at the heart of the much-anticipated case, David Sherborne, acting for Coleen Rooney, asked Vardy whether she was the sort of person who leaked stories to the media.

Rebekah Vardy's account," she famously tweeted at the time.

'I have been called a leaker and it's not nice,' Mrs Vardy told the High Court in London.

He also told the court that it had not been suggested “that Mrs Vardy was anywhere near the North Sea at the time” Ms Watt’s phone fell into the water, nor that she “knew anything about it”. However, Mr Tomlinson said the suggestion that Mrs Vardy and Ms Watt were involved in a “conspiracy” and “campaign of deletion” in relation to evidence in the case is “completely baseless”. Summing up Mrs Rooney’s case, Mr Sherborne said it was “a detective story”. Mrs Vardy replied: “It was something that I was forced to say.” Mr Tomlinson said the affair and subsequent libel case had become the subject of intense press coverage and a source of “entertainment” in the media, being referred to as “Wag Wars” and “Wagatha Christie”.

Mr Tomlinson said, "it's possible that Ms Watt was the source" of the leaks, but Ms Vardy denied any knowledge of it or authorising Ms Watt to share the stories with The Sun.

Mrs Vardy said in her statement that “within minutes” of Mrs Rooney making her allegations there “was a torrent of insults calling me a snake, a grass and a rat”. Mrs Vardy said she now finds it “really difficult to trust people”, had experienced “severe panic attacks” and was admitted to hospital three times in the aftermath of Mrs Rooney’s post.
