Coleen Rooney’s lawyers did not commit misconduct after being accused of “deliberately” understating some of her costs in her high-profile Wagatha Christie libel battle with Rebekah Vardy, a UK high court judge has ruled.

Mrs Vardy unsuccessfully sued Mrs Rooney in 2022, with the two now in further dispute over how much Mrs Vardy should pay in legal costs as a result.
