Rebekah Vardy speaks out over Coleen Rooney court case

Rebekah Vardy has hinted that she and Coleen Rooney could settle their differences soon.

The pair have been locked in a libel battle after Mrs Rooney, 34, accused Mrs Vardy, 38, of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the media last October after carrying out a months-long "sting operation" which saw her dubbed "Wagatha Christie".

Rebekah denies the accusations and is suing Coleen for damages for libel.

At a hearing in the High Court Mr Justice Warby ruled that Coleen's post accusing Rebekah Vardy of leaking stories about her private life to the media "clearly identified" her as being "guilty of the serious and consistent breach of trust that she alleges".

Mr Justice Warby also ordered Coleen to pay Rebekah just under £23,000 in costs at the hearing.

And now Rebekah has revealed that their feud could be soon coming to a close.

She told Hello! magazine: "The new year could potentially see a resolution between us.

"I'm pretty sure the public are sick of reading about it, too."

She also told the magazine she is enjoying training for Dancing On Ice.

She said: "I'm so excited and loving every minute of it.

"I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. I'm fit, healthy and happy and when I'm on the ice I feel exhilarated and as free as a bird."

And she said she is even more determined to enjoy Christmas with her children because of her own experiences growing up.

Rebekah said: "My family were Jehovah's Witnesses, I wasn't allowed to celebrate Christmas or go to birthday parties, to attend school assemblies - the list goes on. On Christmas Day, I had to join the church elders to knock on people's doors and try to convert them.

"I feel like I missed out on so many precious times. That's why I go crazy with decorations now. It's almost as if I'm reliving my childhood. I want to do everything I couldn't do when I was younger."
