Coleen Rooney has told her pals she is confident she will win the Wagatha Christie trial.
Rebekah Vardy is suing Wayne Rooney's wife over an online post that accused her of leaking private stories to the Sun newspaper – which she denies.
Colleen had a cup of tea as a trial wrapped up and confidently told friends: “I’ll be vindicated”, it is claimed.
A close friend told the Sunday Mirror: “After the trial, Coleen had a cup of tea and packed her bags for holiday, confident she had won.
“She has told friends she will be vindicated and she feels relieved that her truth is out there. This whole saga has been very painful.
“She isn’t counting her chickens as she knows the ultimate decision lies with the judge – but she’s adamant she has told the truth throughout and that justice will prevail.”
On the eighth and final day of the High Court libel hearing, Coleen’s lawyer told the judge Rebekah Vardy was a “highly unreliable witness", adding his client was fighting on the basis of truth and public interest.
Coleen and her former England football star husband were not at court on the final day, as the case overran and clashed with their family holiday to Dubai with their two kids.
Earlier in the case, the court heard messages between Rebekah’s agent Caroline Watt and a Sun journalist had gone missing when Ms Watt’s phone fell into the North Sea.
Mr Sherborne argued given the “hand-in-glove” relationship between Mrs Vardy and Ms Watt, having the trial minus her agent was “like Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark" [main character in the Shakespeare play].
The source also told how Coleen, 36, tried to stop the issue going to court, fearing for Rebekah’s reputation.
The friend said: “Coleen knew Rebekah’s reputation was going to be ripped apart, she wanted to help her and not let that happen.
“She wanted to sort it before it went to court and she didn’t want to see Rebekah destroyed."
