Rebekah Vardy messaged Coleen Rooney to express her outrage that one of her Instagram followers was leaking stories to the Sun, the court heard.

The 40-year-old continues to be cross-examined at the High Court as part of her libel trial against fellow footballer’s wife Coleen Rooney.

The court heard on Thursday how following a story in the Sun about Coleen, Wayne and her children taking pictures of themselves in bed, Ms Rooney posted angry messages to her followers saying that someone on the platform had started to leak stories to the press again.

Ms Vardy messaged Ms Rooney to express her anger that one of her Instagram followers would betray her in this way.

Ms Vardy said: “That’s so bad, the Sun of all people as well. Have you been through your followers? Anyone with any celeb mag links.”

She continued: “I’d be chomping if it was me. Not on at all.”

The trial has so far seen Ms Vardy quizzed about messages with her agent discussing leaking - or potentially leaking - stories to the press. The wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy denied to the High Court leaking information to the The Sun was “standard practice”.
