EXLUSIVE: Coleen and Wayne Rooney have gone on their summer holidays with their four sons rather than head to the High Court for the crescendo of the Wagatha Christie libel trial.
Celebrity lawyer David Sherborne claimed Mrs Vardy s case disintegrated during the week-long trial in an eviscerating attack on the wife of Premier League footballer Jamie Vardy.
Mr Vardy has been accused of not being willing to be called as a witness so he could avoid giving evidence under oath. Instead he gave a statement about Wayne Rooney outside court.
Mrs Rooney, 36, arrived at Manchester Airport early this morning with Wayne, also 36, who struggled with a trolley laden with three gigantic suitcases after being swept to departures.
After seven days of testimony and dozens of court sketches in a libel trial that has captivated the nation, Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy face waiting weeks for the ruling.
