Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy are reportedly ready to face each other in another court battle — this time over their £1.5million legal costs.
It has been reported that since winning her 'Wagatha Christie' High Court battle against Rebekah, Coleen has seen her legal bill double.
Whereas her initial estimate was that court costs would be in the region of £750,000, it is now thought that she will demand £1.5million from her rival.
The 36-year-old mum-of-four, who is the wife of former England footballer Wayne Rooney, is also expected to cough up almost £500,000 in fees as she prepares to go up against Rebekah again in front of Mrs Justice Steyn.
Speaking to The Sun, a source has said that it will be "astonishing" if Coleen and Rebekah find themselves back in court.
The source added: "This costs hearing was always due to take place, but following her victory Coleen’s costs have doubled what she originally asked for.
"She is also looking to get money back from other parties who were dragged into the case.
“No one knows how Rebekah will respond to this but she must be seething."
The original case went to court after Coleen claimed that Rebekah's Instagram account was the source of leaked stories about her.
The legal battle was dubbed 'Wagatha Christie' and mum-of-five Rebekah sued for libel after denying any wrongdoing.
The judge sided with Coleen in July and agreed that Rebekah was most probably the source of the leaked stories.
