Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy's 'squabble' will go 'on and on', moans Lorraine Kelly

Lorraine fears Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy 's bickering will rumble 'on and on and on'.

Footballer Jamie Vardy's partner is said to have been left furious after she was hit with a £1.8 million legal bill from her WAG rival, it has been claimed.

Legend Wayne Rooney's wife came out victorious in the blockbuster Wagatha Christie court case last summer - but we've not heard the end of it.

Rebekah was ordered to pay 90 per cent of Coleen's legal bills after she lost her libel trial at the High Court.

After the dust had settled, the sum was assessed to be around £500,000 - but Rebekah has now claimed it has rocketed by more than 300%.

Lorraine appeared to be tiring of the drawn-out saga and reviewed the headlines on her ITV show.

"Just when you thought it was safe and we had heard the last of it, we haven't," she said.

"The Wagatha Christie saga is back in the headlines as they squabble over the legal bill.

"Rebekah Vardy has to pay 90 per cent of Coleen Rooney's cost after losing the libel trial but she claims the costs keep going up and up and she disputes the £1.8million that she now owes."

Then he warned: "This will go on and on and on, won't it?"

The long-running saga between the two WAGs last summer was finally put to an end as Mrs Justice Steyn ruled in Coleen's favour.

Rebekah was said to have been fuming when she was hit with the bill, which reportedly includes a £2,000 stay for one of Coleen's lawyers at a five-star hotel.

She received her total bill in April, with the total amount reportedly reaching £1.8million.

Rebekah is prepared to pay what she “rightfully owes” but has now launched a “war” over the ­spiralling costs after hiring a legal team to work out a breakdown of the costs.

“Becky was furious after seeing Coleen’s bill and hired a legal team to push back. To her, it’s war," a source told The Sun.

“Her legal team has said that some of the costs appear to have been inflated.

“They went back to Coleen’s team and asked for a detailed breakdown of some of the points.”
