Coleen Rooney invented as many as 39 stories which she placed on her private Instagram in order to catch out a mole selling stories to the media, it is claimed.
Just three of those tall tales – of a flooded basement, gender selection and a TV comeback – appeared in the media before Rooney accused former friend Rebekah Vardy of being the leak in a widely shared Instagram post in October 2019.
Dubbed the 'Wagatha Christie' post, the drama looks set for the High Court with Vardy, 40, in the middle of legal proceedings to sue 35-year-old Rooney for libel, The Sun reports.
Documents submitted to the High Court show other falsified Instagram stories which did not reach the tabloids, including the Rooney's doubling up on security and getting guard dogs after a break-in.
The records are said to show that the posts were created after Rooney restricted access to her Instagram. They show Vardy viewed the posts although most did not end up in the media.
A source said: 'This is dynamite stuff and seems to significantly undermine Coleen's case.
