Coleen Nolan says 'Wagatha Christie' trial is 'ridiculous and out of control'

Coleen Nolan has shared her thoughts on the explosive 'Wagatha Christie' court case featuring Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy.

The two WAGS are currently battling it out in the Royal Courts of Justice after Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories about her to the press.

Rebekah, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, denies leaking stories to the media and is suing her fellow footballer’s wife for libel, while Mrs Rooney is defending the claim on the basis her post was "substantially true" and in the public interest.

During Wednesday's episode of Loose Women, Coleen discussed the current court case with fellow panelists Christine Lampard, Jane Moore and Janet Street-Porter.

In particular they referred to the situation Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy find themselves in as they support their respective wives in court.

Commenting on whether they the two men could have encouraged their wives to settle out of court, Coleen said: "I think it depends. My ex-husbands or whatever, if they had a row with someone and I thought they were right I would stand by them and go, 'no he's right'.

"But equally if I though he was wrong I'd go, 'no you're wrong, you need to go and apologise'."

Coleen continued: "In this instance, in this whole 'Wagatha Christie' thing, I just find it just out of control and ridiculous. I don't get it why it's gone this far.

"But yeah I think it's a sticky situation to be in because if I was really upset about something and my partner wasn't standing by me, I'd feel really let down, probably more by him than anyone around me if he wasn't supporting me.

"But equally I'd want him to tell me if he thought, even if it was in private, 'I think you're wrong and I think you should do something about it'."

Both Rebekah and Coleen's legal teams will make their final statements in court on Thursday 19 May, and the judge will give a written ruling at a later date.

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
