Rebekah Vardy has revealed the moment she asked Coleen Rooney: 'What the f*** is this?' following her now infamous Wagatha Christie post, in which she was accused of leaking a slew of stories about her WAG rival to the press.
The 40-year-old was enjoying a trip to Dubai when she saw Coleen, 36, had taken to social media to accuse her of leaking stories to the Sun newspaper following her own months-long 'sting operation', ending the post with the now immortal words: 'It's... Rebekah Vardy's account.'
Speaking out today after refuting the claim and taking it to the High Court - sparking a sensational £3million libel battle, which she lost last week - the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, 35, said she was in shock upon reading the accusation.
However she extended an olive branch to Coleen, admitting that she would 'take her to Cafe Nero' for a coffee if she bumped into her rival in the street, as she is not one to 'hold a grudge.'
Speaking to TalkTV in a yet-to-be aired interview, Rebekah said Coleen had called her from a withheld number in the moments before openly accusing her on October 9, 2019.
She said: 'All of a sudden my phone imploded. I had a missed call from a withheld number, but then she (Coleen) messaged me and said: 'I've been trying to call you'.

'Her response was quite rude, quite harsh, and she basically just said, 'You know what this is'. And at that point I really didn't know what it was. It was like, 'No, surely this can't be real; no one would do that.'
But it seems Rebekah is ready to forgive and forget, adding that if she saw her in the street tomorrow she would ask her 'if she wanted to go for a Caffe Nero.'
She later claims she 'reached out' to Coleen in November last year but did not get a response, before insisting she has no 'bad feelings' towards her.
She says she wished she had 'done things differently' and that her timing was 'terrible', but that she ultimately does not 'blame her'.
Rebekah said her main gripe was with 'the process' and the judge 'getting it wrong.'
The exclusive interview is likely to be the first of a series of efforts to restore her reputation that
