"Wagatha Christie" saga, it has emerged. The footballer's wife will not appeal the High Court ruling that saw her lose the libel dispute against Coleen Rooney, it has been reported. The 40-year-old wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy sued Coleen for libel after she claimed that stories were being leaked by Vardy’s account - claims which Vardy denied.
However, in July a High Court judge ruled that Rooney’s claim was "substantially true. "A source told The Sun: "It’s all over and Becky wants to move on. She is extremely frustrated with lawyers and the legal process so hell would freeze over before she wanted to go back into court.
"At the moment she is enjoying being a mother, and a wife. She was pregnant with her youngest child when this whole thing blew up and she is two now. "So Becky is enjoying spending time with her and her other children — and does not want another legal fight to get in the way.
"Rooney’s allegations came following a sting operation in 2019 to find out who had been giving stories about her personal life to the press. However, the judge said Vardy’s evidence should be treated with "very considerable caution" and accused her of deleting WhatsApp messages central to the case - as well as accusing her then agent Caroline Watt of deliberately dropping her phone in the sea. "In my judgement it is likely that Mrs Vardy deliberately deleted her WhatsApp chat with Ms Watt, and that Ms Watt deliberately dropped her phone in the sea.
"Following the ruling, Vardy said: "I am extremely sad and disappointed at the decision that the judge has reached. "It is not the result that I had expected, nor believe was just. I brought this action to vindicate my reputation and am devastated by the judge's finding.
