Rebekah Vardy demands Coleen Rooney 'puts her money where her mouth is'

Rebeka Vardy told Coleen Rooney to "put her money where her mouth is" and donate her legal winnings to charity.

Following the fallout of the "Wagatha Christie" trial, Rebekah has also been told she must pay for 90% of Coleen's legal fees. In a judgment released today, Mrs Justice Steyn said the legal bill, which Coleen is said to not have finalised with the court, was last estimated in a witness statement by Coleen’s lawyer Paul Lunt at £1,667,860.48.

The judge said Rebekah should pay £800,000 by 4pm on November 15. Coleen originally wanted 100% of her legal fees to be covered, but Rebekah wanted to pay 80% as the judge had found in her favour for several matters disputed at the trial.

Following the judgement, Rebekah took to her Instagram along with a screenshot of a comment that said: 'She'd be far happier to see the money they have spent on lawyers being used in a more positive and productive way.' The quote is in reference to Coleen's thoughts on having to spend so much money on the trial.

Alongside an image of a charity tip jar, Rebekah said: "Let's hope you put your money where your mouth is and some good can come from this whole embarrassing spectacle!" Rebekah also tagged Coleen in the post but no response has been issued.
