Rebekah Vardy has finally agreed to pay Coleen Rooney a huge seven-figure sum six years after she lost their Wagatha Christie courtroom showdown.
Rebekah, 42, was ordered to pay 90 percent of Coleen’s legal bills after she sensationally lost the libel case which accused her of leaking stories about Wayne Rooney’s wife to the press.
It was today revealed she has agreed to pay almost £1.2million of Coleen’s legal costs.
The agreement could see an end to the feud which began in 2019 when Coleen wrote a public letter on social media revealing Jamie Vardy’s wife had been selling stories about her from posts made on a private Instagram story which only a few close friends were privy to.
Rebekah has made many attempts in the past to bring down the sum she is expected to pay for Coleen’s legal costs which were set at £1,833,906.89.

She previously appealed the amount she must pay back and accused Coleen’s team of ‘serious misconduct’.
But her bid was dismissed by Mr Justice Cavanagh last month after he found the previous judge had ‘ample material’ to reach his decision.
Rebekah’s barrister, Juliet Wells, said in written submissions that Coleen’s total legal bill ‘has now been settled at £1,190,000’ – £1,125,000 plus interest of £65.000.
But the wags are still at war after Coleen claimed for ‘assessment costs’ of more than £300,000 – which Ms Wells branded as ‘grossly disproportionate’ and said it should be capped at ‘no more than £100,000’.
