Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy's High Court battle is set to resume tomorrow after the WAGs' attempt to settle their dispute failed.
The preliminary hearing in the libel case is set to commence just hours before England take on Scotland at Wembley in the 2020 Euros.
Coleen, 34, and her husband Wayne were spotted at England's first game in the tournament on Sunday against Croatia, which took place on the couples 13th wedding anniversary.
However, it's likely Coleen will give England's next game a miss as her legal war with fellow WAG Rebekah continues.
Coleen is being sued by Rebekah over a tweet posted in October 2019 that accused the wife of footballer Jamie Vardy's Instagram account of leaking stories about her to The Sun.
In the saga dubbed 'Wagatha Christie', Coleen told how she planted fake stories on her Instagram and blocked all followers apart from Becky's account to try and find the leak.
Coleen claimed she saw the false stories appear in the The Sun newspaper and went public on Twitter with her allegations.
Rebekah, who was pregnant at the time, strenuously denied Coleen's claims and said the stress of the tweet made her fear she would miscarry her child.
At a preliminary hearing at the High Court in March, Coleen branded the legal costs involved in their court case 'grotesque.'
Lawyers representing both parties appeared at London's High Court via videolink where it was heard the case is expected to cost a total of £897,000.
Sara Mansoori, representing Vardy, said the two parties had tried to mediate to resolve the case but the matter has not been solved.
"Unfortunately we are here today," she told the court.
According to skeleton arguments the case will cost both parties a total of £897,000 - with Rooney's share £465,842 and Mrs Vardy's £402,312.
Mr Samson said his client - Rooney - has told him the costs were 'grotesque'.
Vardy's defence said the costs were 'necessarily high' owing to the 'extremely complex legal analysis' of the case that involved a large number of media reports and social media postings.
Both parties were told to file revise budgets by June 18 and said unless they resolve the case it will go to trial before Easter 2022.
While the two WAGs dispute continues, their husbands are still on speaking terms.
Wayne publicly showed his support for Jamie this month when it was revealed the Leicester City star would not be part of the England squad for the Euros.
“One man I wish was in Gareth’s [Southgate’s] squad is Jamie Vardy," he wrote in his Sunday Times column.
"I would have tried absolutely everything to lure him out of retirement for these finals."
Mentioning the two women's feud: "I know some people may be surprised at this, especially with the legal case between my wife and Jamie’s wife, but this is my honest football opinion."
