Rebekah Vardy breaks down in tears in first TV interview since losing Wagatha case

Rebekah Vardy breaks down in tears tomorrow night as she says that she feels "let down by the legal system" in her first TV interview since losing the blockbuster Wagatha Christie court case.

The long-running saga between the two WAGs, who battled it out in the High Court during a seven day trial, was finally put to an end as Mrs Justice Steyn ruled in Coleen's favour last week.

On Wednesday, the 40-year-old is set to appear in her very first interview on TalkTV since the ruling and becomes very emotional as she declares she "didn't do it".

The decision marked the conclusion to the two-and-a-half year feud, which started in 2019 when Coleen, 36, said she had carried out a "sting operation" and accused Rebekah's account of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the press in the now viral Instagram post.

The fake stories Rooney planted on her Instagram during the sting operation featured her travelling to Mexico for a "gender selection" procedure, her planning to return to TV, and the basement flooding at her home.

Rebekah, 40, has always vehemently denied Coleen's accusations and launched libel proceedings in 2020.

She later admitted in a witness statement her agent Caroline Watt could have leaked the stories in a dramatic U-turn.

Coleen defended the claim in court on the basis her post was “substantially true”.

Speaking to journalist Kate McCann in a teaser clip ahead of tonight, Rebekah says: "Oh come on, you can't ask me that."

She continues: "I will say that 'til I'm blue in the face. I did not do it!"

In response to another question, Rebekah says: "I feel let down by a lot of people, a lot of things. But most importantly I feel let down by the legal system."

She's later seen breaking down in tears as she sobs: "I'm going to cry!"

Responding to the verdict, Coleen had said she was pleased with the judgement and bears no ill will to Rebekah, adding: “It was not a case I ever sought or wanted."

Turning to her viral Instagram post which sparked the saga, Coleen said: "Today’s judgment makes clear that I was right in what I said in my posts of October 2019."

In how own statement, Rebekah said she was "extremely sad and disappointed" by the decision, and she did not accept it nor believe it "was just".

*Rebekah Vardy's interview will air at 7pm on TalkTV tomorrow night
