Coleen Rooney dons shades as she's seen for FIRST time since Wagatha Christie ...

Coleen Rooney stepped out for the first time on Monday, after the High Court conducted its first hearing in the infamous Wagatha Christie case against Rebekah Vardy on Friday.

Running her morning errands - the day after celebrating Father's Day with her husband Wayne and their four boys - Coleen, 35, looked casual in a grey sweater featuring a vintage model print on the front and black skinny leggings as she locked up her SUV.

She donned shades despite the grey weather and swept back her chestnut locks.

She carried a bottle of water and sported a fitness watch, adding trainers to the look. Coleen went for a natural make-up look to finish things off.

Her sweater featured a Terry O'Neill black and white photograph in collaboration with Annie Bing.

The day before, Coleen posted nine photographs of herself, her husband Wayne and their four boys over the years, with the caption: 'Happy Fathers Day @waynerooney. Thanks for everything you do for our boys, we love you.'

Coleen and Wayne, also 35, share sons Kai, 11, Klay, eight, Kit, five, and Cass, three.

It was revealed at the High Court that Coleen kept her husband in the dark when she launched her infamous sting investigation.

Coleen's lawyer David Sherborne revealed his client's secrecy as he fought a motion from Rebekah's lawyers to have a large portion of Mrs Rooney's defence 'struck out' on Friday.

It came as Mrs Vardy's counsel said her children were abused at school as a result of Coleen's Wagatha Christie Instagram post accusing their mother of leaking stories. 

Mrs Vardy, 39, launched her £1.5m claim after Coleen accused her in her October 2019 Instagram post of being the source of leaks to the media on stories about her.

The court has heard how peace talks between the warring WAGs broke down during mediation and the case is now expected to go to a full trial.

Hugh Tomlinson QC for Rebekah Vardy, told the libel court today that the case had been extremely serious, despite the 'highly entertaining stories in the media referring to the Wagatha Christie... she suffered widespread abuse and hostility as a result of the post for a long period and her children were also abused at school. It was a very serious matter for her'.  

The long-running feud between the high-profile WAGS erupted after Coleen revealed that she had set a trap to see who was responsible for the leaks, which earned her the nickname Wagatha Christie.

Coleen famously wrote: 'I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them. It's ................ Rebekah Vardy's account.'

Rebekah's team have now launched a bid to have large parts of Coleen's defence in the ongoing libel case struck out.

David Sherborne described the attempt by Rebekah's side to exclude large portions of evidence from the hearing as 'a tactical exercise to remove evidence which serves to undermine her case or embarrass her.'

He added that a Football Association official has made a statement to support Coleen's claim that Rebekah and her party refused to move when asked to and abused a liaison officer at Euro 2016 after she sat behind Coleen to maximise her publicity during the England vs Wales match at Lens.

Rebekah's lawyers have asked the judge to make a summary judgement on the so-called 'TV Decisions story', which Coleen says began with a selfie Instagram post published only to Rebekah's account on September 25 2019.

Coleen wrote: 'Up and out!! Easing my way back into work!! TV decisions today…maybe it's time for Australia @claireroon' [Wayne's cousin] and 'Good Day'.

Three days later, the sun ran an exclusive story online with the headline 'ROO-MBA Coleen Rooney in talks to join Strictly next year as she looks to revive her TV career when Wayne returns to UK'.

Mr Tomlinson told the judge: 'This part of the pleading should be put out of its misery.'

He denied Coleen's assertion that the language in the Sun's story was 'similar' to the post, and pointed out that other newspapers and magazines had run stories months earlier, linking Coleen with Strictly.

Referring to the Sun's September 28 story, he said: 'The article has nothing at all in common with this post, the language is not the same.'

He did concede that 'on the face of it' other posts on Coleen's Instagram feed could be related to subsequent stories in The Sun, but on the TV decisions story he said: 'The inference that the two are related is simply wrong; there's nothing in common.'

He revealed that there were many other bogus posts on Coleen's Instagram account which did not lead to stories, but their side had not been made aware of which.

'As far as we understand it, there are lots of false posts which produce no articles be were are not privy to them.'

For Coleen, David
