- Rebekah Vardy loses her High Court libel case against Coleen Rooney, bringing the so-called Wagatha Christie trial to an end
- Vardy sued Rooney for libel after Rooney accused her of leaking her private information to The Sun
- Vardy denied this, and her team said she had suffered "public abuse on a massive scale" as a result of Rooney's claims
- But in her ruling, the judge says it is likely Rebekah Vardy's agent passed information about Rooney to The Sun with Vardy's help
- Mrs Justice Steyn says Rooney's original allegation that Vardy leaked stories to the newspaper is "substantially true"
- Vardy and Rooney rose to tabloid fame as "Wags" - wives and girlfriends of England footballers - but fell out spectacularly over the accusations
- The Wagatha Christie nickname was born after Rooney - wife of former England captain Wayne Rooney - said she had conducted a "sting" operation to find out who had leaked stories about her
