Rebekah Vardy’s £900,000 budget for her libel battle with Coleen Rooney is “grotesque”, the High Court has heard.

Mrs Rooney, 34, 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”.
