Her high-profile, two-and-half-year legal battle with Rebekah Vardy is set to go to trial on Monday.

The mother-of-four has not publicly revealed the nature of her ailment. 

Coleen had comfort at the heart of her attire, stepping out in all-black: a jumper, sports leggings and a trainer on her non-injured foot. 

She was pictured rummaging through a JAEGER bag, the contents of which she took to a tailoring store in the north-west city.

The errand-running comes after her fellow WAG Rebekah - married to Leicester footballer Jamie - sensationally blamed her agent for leaking stories about Coleen in a dramatic development to the 'Wagatha Christie' libel battle, the High Court heard last week.

In documents submitted to the court, Coleen's legal team claimed Rebekah's case had 'collapsed' after an 'abrupt change of position to her pleaded case' following a second statement made by her in which she alleged that her agent and close friend Caroline Watt had leaked stories The Sun.

Rebekah, 40, is suing Coleen for libel after being accused by her of leaking 'false stories' about the Rooneys in October 2019.  

Coleen claimed to have uncovered the culprit following a social media sting operation and publicly named her fellow WAG, earning the nickname 'Wagatha Christie.'

As their legal battle raged, it was also argued that Caroline had acted as a 'conduit', which she and Rebekah vehemently denied.

The document compiled by Coleen's lawyers David Sherborne and Ben Hamer, and seen by the Hight Court, states: 'The collapse of Mrs Vardy's case over the last day has been remarkable. 

'As of the evening of 27 April 2022, in an abrupt change of position to her pleaded case since the outset, Mrs Vardy appears now to accept Mrs Rooney's case: that Caroline Watt, Mrs Vardy's close friend and PR, was the conduit by which stories from the Defendant's Private Instagram Account were leaked to The Sun through her access via Rebekah Vardy's account (@beckyvardy).'

It adds: 'It is only now-over two weeks later and on the eve of trial-that Mrs Vardy has been forced to come clean.'

Elsewhere, Coleen's husband Wayne recently admitted that he has only one suit that fits him after putting on a 'little bit of weight' since his playing days.

'But every time he posed for a picture, this thing that looked like a shoelace popped out. It's
