REBEKAH Vardy has finally agreed to pay Coleen Rooney a huge sum – six years after their epic Wagatha Christie battle erupted.
Rebekah, 42, was told she would be forced to pick up 90 per cent of Coleen's bill after she sensationally lost the libel case.
It was revealed today she has agreed to pay almost £1.2million of Coleen Rooney's legal costs.
The development almost brings an end to the six-year saga, which began in 2019 when Coleen revealed Rebekah was leaking stories to the press.
It also comes after The Sun revealed Rebekah is plotting a move to the US with husband Jamie amid talks for a TV role.
The mum had repeatedly tried to slash former I'm A Celeb star Coleen's costs, which were put at £1,833,906.89.
In written submissions, her barrister, Juliet Wells, said that Coleen's total legal bill "has now been settled at £1,190,000" – £1,125,000 plus interest of £65.000.
But the rival wags are still battling it out after Coleen claimed for "assessment costs" of more than £300,000.
Ms Wells branded the amount "grossly disproportionate" and said it should be capped at "no more than £100,000".
Rebekah had previously launched an appeal against the amount she must pay back – accusing Coleen's team of "serious misconduct".
Her bid was dismissed last month after Mr Justice Cavanagh found the previous judge had "ample material" to reach his decision.
Her lawyer had argued Coleen's team had adopted a "kitchen sink approach" when calculating the total.
He also claimed the bill included costs for one of Coleen's team to stay at the five star Nobu Hotel.
It also included "substantial dinner and drinks charges as well as mini bar charges", the lawyer said.
He said Coleen's legal bill – £1,833,906.89 – was more than three times her "agreed costs budget of £540,779.07".
But Robin Dunne, for Coleen, argued it was "frankly outrageous" to accuse them of dishonesty.
Rebekah brought the multi-million pound case to court after she was accused of leaking stories to the press.
But Coleen – wife of ex-England ace Wayne – won the epic libel battle in 2022 – bringing an end to the three-year saga.
The row erupted back in October 2019 when Coleen turned detective and accused Rebekah of sharing stories from her personal Instagram account.
In the infamous post, Coleen said she posted a string of false stories via her Instagram account with restricted access to see if they appeared in the media, which they did.
She then said the fake stories had only been viewed by one person, and ended dramatically: "It's . . . Rebekah Vardy's account."
In return, Rebekah declared war and accused Coleen of destroying her reputation as she brought the libel case to court.
But her reputation and finances were left hanging in tatters after she was savaged by Mrs Justice Steyn in her ruling.
The judge said Rebekah "knew of, condoned and was actively engaged" in leaks to the media by her agent Caroline Watts.
She branded the mum's evidence as "manifestly inconsistent" but praised Coleen as an "honest and reliable" witness.
Mrs Justice Steyn also found Rebekah deliberately destroyed evidence to cover up her deceit.
The hearing before Costs Judge Mark Whalan continues.
