‘Never believed’ Coleen Rooney says costly Vardy case should never have gone to court in times of such hardship

Coleen Rooney said in a statement that she was “pleased” the ruling went in her favour.

She added that she “never believed” the case should have gone to court “at such expense in times of hardship for so many people when the money could have been far better spent helping others”

Ms Vardy, 40, sued Ms Rooney, 36, for defamation after she publicly accused her of being the source of stories that were leaked to The Sun newspaper.

In October 2019, the wife of former England star Wayne Rooney published a post on her social media accounts saying she had carried out a months-long “sting operation” and accused Ms Vardy of leaking “false stories” about her private life to the press.
