Today is day six of the Wagatha Christie libel battle between Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney at the High Court.

Wayne Rooney is due to give evidence today.

Yesterday the court heard Mrs Rooney kept her "sting operation" secret from her husband as she didn't want to put her "troubles and worries" on others.

Mrs Rooney accused Mrs Vardy of leaking "false stories" about her private life in October 2019 after she said she carried out a months-long "sting" which saw her dubbed 'Wagatha Christie'.

Mrs Vardy denies the allegations and is suing the fellow footballer's wife for damages for libel.
