Coleen Rooney appeared in great spirits as she was pictured in Cheshire on Friday after Rebekah Vardy agreed to pay a huge seven-figure sum as result of losing their epic Wagatha Christie courtroom showdown. 

On Tuesday, MailOnline revealed that Rebekah, 42, agreed to pay £1,190,000 of Coleen’s legal bill, plus was ordered to pay a further £212,266 in ᴀssessment courts, after sensationally losing their high-profile libel case.

This takes the total Rebekah must pay to at least £1,402,266.20. 

Following the result, Coleen, 39, looked happier than ever as she stepped out for the first time with a big smile on her face while running errands. 

For the outing, the former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star cut a sporty figure in a black Alo activewear set. 

She sported a stylish black ribbed T-shirt and matching leggings as she headed towards her car with her essentials in hand.

Coleen ran up a legal bill of more than £1.8 million while successfully defending herself against Rebekah’s High Court claim in 2022.

After losing their High Court showdown, Rebekah was ordered to pay 90 per cent of Coleen’s legal costs.

In written submissions to a specialist costs court hearing on Tuesday, Rebekah’s barrister, Juliet Wells, said Coleen’s total legal bill of £1,833,906.89 ‘has now been settled at £1,190,000, being [approximately] £1,125,000 plus interest of [approximately] £65,000’.

The court heard that while Coleen was also asking for a further £315,000 in ‘ᴀssessment costs’, Costs Judge Mark Whalan ordered Rebekah to pay £212,266.20 of Coleen’s ᴀssessment costs, inclusive of VAT but before interest, on top of the £1.19 million settlement.

Coleen must also pay Rebekah a total of £135,097.50 in costs under the terms of court orders from 2024, which will be set off against what Rebekah must pay.

While Mrs Wells previously called for the ‘grossly disproportionate’ ᴀssessment costs to be capped at ‘no more than £100,000’, Judge Whalan said the amount awarded was ‘reasonable and proportionate’.

He added that while there had been ‘extraordinary expenditure of costs’ on both sides, he was ‘generally happy’ that the outcome was ‘commercially satisfactory conclusion’ for the pair.

On Tuesday, MailOnline revealed that Rebekah, 42, (pictured 2022) has agreed to pay £1,190,000 of Coleen’s, 39, legal bill, plus was ordered to pay a further £212,266 in ᴀssessment courts , after sensationally losing their high-profile libel case

‘I do mean it when I say that I hope that this is the end of a long and unhappy road,’ he added.

Rebekah’s lawyer previously argued Coleen’s team had used a ‘kitchen sink’ approach when calculating the total and included ‘over £120,000 of costs to which Coleen has no enтιтlement’.

It was also claimed the bill included costs for one of the WAG’s team to stay at Nobu – a five-star luxury H๏τel – and ‘substantial dinner and drinks charges as well as mini bar charges’.

The lawyer said Coleen’s £1,833,906.89 legal bill was over three times her ‘agreed costs budget of £540,779.07’.

But Coleen’s lawyer, Robin Dunne, had argued it was ‘frankly outrageous’ to accuse them of dishonesty.

Rebekah unsuccessfully sued the I’m A Celeb star in the High Court in 2022 after she was publicly accused of leaking stories about her to the press.

The catalyst for the famous Wagatha Christie case was a dramatic open letter written by Coleen and posted on social media in October 2019, in which she revealed she had turned detective to figure out who had been leaking the stories to the press.

Coleen publicly claimed Rebekah’s account was the source behind three newspaper stories featuring fake details she had posted on her private Instagram profile – her travelling to Mexico for a ‘gender selection’ procedure, her planning to return to TV and the basement flooding at her home.

Penning that she had a ‘suspicion’ of who it could be, Coleen told her millions of followers that ‘to try and prove this’ she ‘came up with an idea’.

‘I blocked everyone from viewing my Instagram stories except ONE account,’ she wrote. 

For the next five months, she uploaded ‘a series of false stories’ to see if ‘they made their way’ into the press.

‘And you know what, they did!’ she penned ‘The story about gender selection in Mexico, the story about returning to TV and then the latest story about the basement flooding in my new house.’

She continued to build suspense, writing: ‘It’s been tough keeping it to myself and not making any comment at all, especially when the stories have been leaked, however I had to. Now I know for certain which account/individual it’s come from.

‘I have saved and screensH๏τted all the original stories which clearly show just one person had viewed them.’

And then, she delivered her final iconic line: ‘It’s………. Rebekah Vardy’s account.’
