Rebekah Vardy has told the High Court it was “embarassing” to be called the “unofficial WAG leader” in a newspaper article. The 40-year-old was asked about a 2018 interview she did withThe Sun as she returned to the witness stand on the third day of her libel trial against Coleen Rooney.
The court heard the article carried the headline: “Becky Vardy reveals the secret to England’s World Cup success is down to the lads getting to spend time with their Wags. ”Ms Rooney’s lawyer, David Sherborne, said the article went on to describe her as the “unofficial leader of our Wags. ”Asked how she felt about the term, Ms Vardy told the High Court: “That’s quite an embarrassing statement. ”Mr Sherborne suggested Ms Vardy - who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy - had fed the line to journalist Andy Halls, but she denied this.
The 40-year-old model is locked in a legal battle against Coleen Rooney, who has accused Ms Vardy of leaking “false stories” about her private life to the press.
Ms Vardy denied the allegations and is suing Wayne Rooney’s wife for libel.
