Vardy is spared fresh court clash over costs
REBEKAH VARDY will avoid a second court showdown with Coleen Rooney by agreeing to fight over the ‘Wagatha Christie’ legal costs in writing.
Sources close to Mrs Vardy say she is relieved she will not have to set foot in court again after her defeat in the libel case she brought following Mrs Rooney’s claims that she had been leaking stories to The Sun. It’s understood Mrs Vardy, 40, wife of footballer Jamie Vardy, will have to pay about three-quarters of the legal costs, expected to be between £2.5m and £3m. Mrs Rooney will be left paying the remainder, about £700,000.
Spokesmen for both parties declined to comment last night.
