Few legal battles have gripped the nation like that of Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy, affectionately dubbed \u2018Wagatha Christie\u2019.<\/p>\n
The two high profile football WAGs went head to head after Coleen accused Rebekah\u2019s account of being behind the leaked stories about her to the press.<\/p>\n
In a moment of incredible sleuthing, the 37-year-old caught out her friend and revealed this discovery in a post which left the nation reeling.<\/p>\n
A battle of WAGs ensued as Rebekah, 41, hit back at Coleen\u2019s accusation with legal action and the Wagatha trial unravelled.<\/p>\n
The two were assumed to be friends, following years of running in the same circles with their husbands playing as teammates and reportedly close friends.<\/p>\n
However, Coleen has revealed she never actually felt that close to Jamie Vardy\u2019s wife \u2013 even calling the friendship \u2018unnatural\u2019.<\/p>\n

The TV personality may be a high profile figure but in reality has a small circle of friends, many of whom she has known for years and keep out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n
She told The Times: \u2018I can tell when someone is trying to force a friendship because of your status. I\u2019m very savvy about that. <\/p>\n
\u2018And I felt like the friendship Rebekah was trying to put on me was unnatural.\u2019<\/p>\n
The crux of the case, which is set to be the focus of a new Disney+ documentary, came as Coleen realised her stories were being leaked, so lay a trap.<\/p>\n
In her now famous post, she unveiled her investigation and wrote: \u2018It\u2019s \u2026 Rebekah Vardy\u2019s account.\u2019 <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A defamation case was brought to court, with the onus on Coleen\u2019s team to prove it was Rebekah\u2019s account leaking the information.<\/p>\n
After a whirlwind trial, the court ruled against Rebekah and ordered her to pay 90 per cent of Coleen\u2019s costs on top of her own fees.<\/p>\n
While the friendship wasn\u2019t a \u2018natural\u2019 closeness before this incident, Coleen was still surprised to discover personal information from a fellow WAG\u2019s account would be shared in that way.<\/p>\n
She continued: \u2018Obviously Rebekah has lived my life to a degree, in the public eye. So I never thought someone would do that to someone else. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018But I knew she enjoyed the limelight and would do things only to be in the public eye. And the more I knew, the more I wasn\u2019t surprised.\u2019<\/p>\n
The case has left a coldness between the former England teammates, as the mum of four asked her husband not to contact Jamie during the trial.<\/p>\n
Since then there has been \u2018no contact\u2019 she confirmed \u2013 laughing when asked if Rebekah had reached out to her.<\/p>\n
