Rebekah Vardy was chastised by Wayne Rooney’s lawyer for “drawing a face.”

Rebekah Vardy was chastised by Wayne Rooney’s lawyer for “drawing a face.”

On day three of the Wagatha Christie trial, the mother-of-five was quizzed over a night out in St Petersburg with eight other wives and girlfriends.

She denied bringing in cameras to shoot the women, but lawyer David Sherborne accused her of “lying.”

Rebekah appeared to cringe when he questioned if she’d been in problems with the Football Association’s family liaison officer, Harpreet Robertson.

Mr Sherborne then inquired about her “drawing a face.”

“Because there was Ms Robertson again,” Rebekah said, claiming Harpreet took an immediate disliking to her.

Other members of the group believed they had been “set up” when the photos were taken on the Russia trip, according to Harpreet.

“This is the first I’ve heard of it,” Rebekah said.

Fern Hawkins, Harry Maguire’s fiancée, was among those who were offended by the photographs shot during the competition in Russia.

It was heard that Fern was “embarrassed, unprepared, and had not expected to be put in that position.”

But it was Annie Kilner, wife of Manchester City and England player Kyle Walker, who suggested they go out for a photo, Rebekah told the court today.

Despite messages between her and agent Caroline Watts, she denied contacting the photographer ahead of time to set up the photo shoot.

Rebekah appears to advise Miss Watt when the women leave a hotel so that it will be a “nice time” for images in the chats.

Miss Watt was found unfit to give oral testimony at the trial and will not be questioned.

However, it was heard on Tuesday that she is most likely the “conduit” for the alleged leaks.

Coleen and Rebekah have been at odds since October 2019, when Coleen accused Rebekah of leaking “false information” about her personal life during a month-long “sting operation.”

The 40-year-old, who is married to striker Jamie Vardy, disputes the allegations and has filed a libel lawsuit.

Coleen now has the burden of proof to prove that her post was defamatory under English law.
