She shared three Instagram posts on a private story that only Rebekah Vardy could view.

Coleen Rooney’s fake Instagram stories have been revealed.

The images were shown during the court case this week.

She shared three Instagram posts on a private story that only Rebekah Vardy could view.

One of the posts claimed the mum was traveling abroad for a gender selection.

Alongside a photo from a flight, she wrote: “Let’s go and see what this gender selection is all about.”

The mum also posted a photo of her car and claimed it was involved in an accident.

However, none of the stories were true.

Coleen also posted a photo of a bottle of wine. She captioned the snap, “Needed after today. Flood in the basement of our new house… when it all seemed to be going so well.”

Coleen shared the stories in 2019 as part of her ‘Wagatha Christie’ investigation.

She wanted to see if the stories would be leaked to the press.

The day after the stories were posted, Vardy texted her agent and said: “She’s a nasty b***h x. I’ve taken a big dislike to her!”

She also said, “Would love to leak those stories x”

In October 2019, Coleen Rooney accused Vardy of leaking stories to the media.

The fake stories appeared in The Sun newspaper. Rebekah was the only one who viewed them on Coleen’s Instagram.

She claims she didn’t leak the stories, but Rooney says nobody else had access to them.

Vardy and Rooney are currently involved in a £3 million libel trial.

Vardy is suing Rooney for libel. However, Coleen is defending the claim on the basis that her Instagram post is “substantially true”.

The trial continues on Thursday, May 19th.
