WAGs at war: From Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy to Danielle Lloyd and Nicola McLean

Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy have dropped a few bombshells in their recent 'Wagatha Christie' drama.

In an explosive post on Instagram, Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking stories to the S*n newspaper. Mrs Vardy denied the claims and as a result, the women have both ended up in a highly publicised trial, as Rebekah sued Coleen for defamation.

A number of bombshells have been dropped at the trial, including Rebekah dragging other well-known celebrity names into the mix including Danielle Lloyd and Peter Andre.

As the trial awaits a verdict, we take a look at how Coleen and Rebekah are not the only WAGs to have gone head-to-head over the years. Others have also had their fair share of run-ins.

Danielle Lloyd v Rebekah Vardy

In direct fallout from Coleen's revelations, Danielle Lloyd weighed into the row by first posting a series of rat emojis under Coleen's original post. And then replied to another commenter saying "on a serious note though who does that it’s terrible."

The next day the 35-year-old appeared on This Morning and said she wasn't shocked when she saw the news, because she'd had similar experiences. Danielle, whose ex husband is Jamie O'Hara played for Spurs, told Holly and Phil: "I wasn't shocked, I've had run-ins with Becky before over similar things.

"I wasn't shocked when I saw who it allegedly was, I think she did it, I think its a shame because she never thought it'd get out, but it has. It's definitely come from Becky's account."

However, Rebekah responded back on Twitter, saying: "Danielle Lloyd making false claims on @thismorning that we have had ‘similar run-ins’ is utter b******s. She is just fuming that I didn’t get Jamie recruiting’ for her like she asked me to... On a more serious note I’ve been inundated with messages from everyone but I’m not saying anything more until we’ve finished looking into this situation properly."

But instead of staying silent Danielle tweeted Rebekah saying: "@RebekahVardy do you mean like how The S*n recruited you Luv! #Secretwag we are all entitled to our opinions and we all know it came from your account, attacking me won’t take that away another low blow by you #notagirlsgirl." It is not clear what Rebekah is referring to when she says about Danielle's request for Jamie to 'recruit for her'.

Danielle Lloyd v Nicola McLean

During Nicola McLean's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, she claimed Danielle Lloyd only married Jamie O'Hara 'to become a WAG'. Glamour model Nicola, who is married to a footballer, was in the BB House with Danielle's ex and said: "I don't think any wives or girlfriends would call themselves WAGS, if they did I'd think they were the biggest d***head in the whole entire world."

Austin Armacost reasoned that Nicola must have met women who saw being a WAG as a genuine "goal". Without missing a beat, she quipped: "No, Jamie did and married one!"

The former football star - who separated from Danielle in 2014 after two years of marriage - didn't seem offended, instead collapsing laughing and pulling Nicola in for a hug. Nicola clashed with Danielle after the latter named her new pet Chihuahua Rocky - which is Nicola's son's name.

Referring to one of her friends' own offspring, she sarcastically responded: "Great name, might name my new addition Archie" - the name of Danielle's oldest son.

Victoria Beckham v Katie Price

Victoria is WAG royalty, and has had a long-running feud with Katie Price who had her first child, Harvey, with footballer Dwight Yorke. It was the Page 3 glamour model vs the footballer's wife, and it all kicked off when Katie got jealous of Victoria's collaboration with her then-boyfriend, Dane Bowers.

And the following year things got even more bitter when Katie claimed VB and her mate sang Who Let The Dogs Out to her in Manchester United's players' lounge. Posh Spice upped the ante by branding Katie 'vile' on national TV, before her nemesis sniped, "She's got a great-looking husband, a little boy, and all the money in the world. She hasn't got the looks, but you can't have everything."

Katie claimed in her 2004 autobiography that Victoria's husband David held her hand at a gig in 2000. In the pages of her book Being Jordan, she said: "I didn't feel star-struck by Victoria but I must admit to feeling a bit of a thrill around David. He is so good looking, has such a fit body and is so nice with it."

According to Katie, the supposed incident happened after Victoria and Dane performed Out Of Your Mind at Party In The Park and the four of them went clubbing to Twice As Nice. Katie said: "Dane was DJ'ing and I was standing with the famous couple.

"Suddenly I felt someone take my hand and squeeze it gently as if to reassure me that I shouldn't be overawed by all the hype. It was David. I looked at him in surprise and he was looking right back at me. Imagine how you would feel if David Beckham held your hand!

"Victoria was standing right next to him so I thought I'd better keep my mouth shut. I would have given anything for her to disappear at that moment and leave me alone with one of the world's sexiest men. But I guess I'll never really know what David was thinking. Maybe he was showing that he understood what it was like to be caught up in Dane and Victoria's desperate bid to become number one."

David has always vehemently denied any suggestion he was romantically involved with Katie, and in 2004 said he'd only met her once during a dinner with Victoria and Dane. And the football ace - who had four kids with Posh - added: "No offence, but she isn't my type. My only type is Victoria."

Victoria Beckham v Cheryl

Back in 2006, Victoria was out supporting David as he played for England in the Baden-Baden World Cup, and Cheryl was there supporting her first husband Ashley. The two WAGs looked like the best of friends in the stands at each match, but two years later, when it was revealed Ashley was cheating on Cheryl with hairdresser Aimee Walton, Cheryl said she was shocked Posh didn't reach out to her.

Cheryl said : "I mean, David’s mum is friends with Ashley’s mum, she (Beckham) was in my hotel room the whole time during the World Cup – we’ve had barbecues together – so I was quite shocked by that."
