Rebekah Vardy has scored a partial victory in the latest stage of her libel battle after a High Court judge threw out parts of Coleen Rooney’s defence.

Mrs Rooney, 35, accused Mrs Vardy, 39, of leaking “false stories” about her private life in October 2019 after carrying out a months-long “sting operation” which saw her dubbed “Wagatha Christie”.
