Anyone following the Vardy-Rooney trial?
It's sensationally funny. And sad.
God only knows what the legal fees will amount to.
The world & UK news is full of dreadful stuff - Boris, Ukraine, COVID, cost of living & Heaven knows what else, so this is a welcome diversion, it really is.
And if you have not read any of it, you should.

However, when Colleen Rooney did some detective work, and became known as "Wagatha Christie"?
Priceless.
Whereas I know of several Criminal Barristers who are genuinely skint.
It all seems unnecessary to get to courts. If I was Wayne Rooney I would be raging with my missus for dragging this through the tabloids and now the court system. It's actually quite ridiculous, would have left her to it and looked after the kids at home in his shoes.
My take not that I was asked 😉 is Vardy is a gossip. Thats it! Sure this could have been yesterday's chip wrapping and forgotten about quickly but alas no. Sure this started at least 3 years ago.
Am I missing something here in my thinking Essexphil and others? A bit perplexed.
Its the other way round, Mrs Vardy is suing Mrs Rooney.
Same difference though, it should never have got to court.
Vardy the Mole V Wagatha Chtistie
Before the Wagatha Christie scandal broke Coleen stopped following Rebekah on Instagram, prompting Rebekah to react furiously. 'OMG what a c***,' Rebekah texted her agent Caroline Watt after realising what had happened, according to texts read out to the High Court earlier in the trial. Today, Coleen's lawyer David Sherborne told the court about a story that appeared in The Sun about Coleen being in a car crash, written by journalist Andy Halls. During the text exchange, Rebekah discussed whether this could have been the reason Coleen stopped following her. Pictured: Rebekah and Ms Watt (left) and the messages (right).

In the meantime we have war in Ukraine.
Mrs Justice Steyn adjourned the case at the High Court in London after Rebekah (left) became upset as she was quizzed by Coleen Rooney's representative David Sherborne. It happened moments after the barrister was ticked off by the judge over his aggressive line of questioning. Discussing a fake post by Coleen (top right) about gender selection, Rebekah (also bottom right) said she had not been to Mexico for treatment after Mr Sherborne had mistakenly used her name instead of Coleen's.

The High Court burst into laughter after the exchange - which concerned the claim that Rebekah's agent, Caroline Watt (pictured with Rebekah on the left), lost her phone containing WhatsApp evidence when it fell off a boat into the North Sea. Coleen's (right) barrister, David Sherborne, has accused Rebekah's of deleting key evidence that, it is said, would prove that Rebekah had been leaking stories to the media. 'We know that Ms Watt's phone is now in Davy Jones' Locker, don't we, Mrs Vardy?' Mr Sherborne said. Rebekah then replied: 'I'm sorry, I don't know who Davy Jones is'. Also pictured: Mrs Justice Steyn (top) and Rebekah giving evidence (bottom).

The so-called Wagatha Christie courtroom battle between Liverpool-born Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy was today re-christened The Scousetrap.

JANE FRYER: Another dawn, another day - and yet another set of gigantic Dynasty-style shoulders to demonstrate who's really Queen of the Wags in the £3million libel battle setting Britain alight. There's no doubt about it, yesterday was Coleen Rooney's day - and not just in the Isabel Marant-designed shoulder department. No, the day was Coleen's because despite Rebekah Vardy's jaunty nautical-themed Chanel dress and brave new side parting, the events in Court 13 are not unfurling as Mrs V would like. In short, she's having a nightmare. Things start to decline badly and rapidly as she is accused - variously and in no particular order - of having selective amnesia, lying, repeatedly revising her witness statements ahead of the trial and suggesting that the anniversary of the death of Coleen's sister Rosie (who died in 2014, aged 13) had been an appropriate time to get back in contact with Rooney after she had blocked Vardy on Instagram. So in that context, the claim she'd arranged for a pap to hide in a bush and snap the entire Wag brigade as they click-clacked down the street to dinner in St Petersburg during the 2018 World Cup comes almost as a moment of light relief for Bex.

Taking photographs inside a sitting Courtroom is not allowed in England, so it's been left to the artists to give us their best impressions. And some of the sketches have been entertaining in themselves.
Here's the artists impression of Colleen & Wayne on Day 3. I'm not entirely either subject would have been impressed...
And, for balance, here's how the artist saw Ms Vardy...
