Rebekah Vardy 'fell out with Sarah Harding' after 'being caught taking pics at NTAs'

A court heard how Rebekah Vardy 'fell out with' Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding today.

The fall out allegedly happened back in 2018, when apparently Mrs Vardy was caught taking pictures of the contents of Sarah's handbag at the National Television Awards. The claim came from Coleen Rooney as part of the witness statement she supplied as part of the ongoing Wagatha Christie libel trial.

Mrs Vardy was accused by Mrs Rooney of leaking fake stories about her from her private Instagram in October 2019. The 40-year-old denies the allegations and is now suing Mrs Rooney, the wife of England star Wayne, for libel.

In a witness statement, Mrs Rooney said: "As an aside, I am aware that Becky had attended the 2018 National Television Awards and produced and provided various pieces of 'behind the scenes' footage for The S*n.

"She also got into a spat with former Girls Aloud group member Sarah Harding during the 2018 event because Sarah apparently caught Becky taking photographs of the contents of Sarah’s handbag when Sarah had dropped it on the floor. Their dispute subsequently appeared in The S*n."

Sarah Harding announced she had breast cancer in August 2020 and tragically passed away at the age of 39 in September last year. The trial continues.
