If you want Wagatha Christie memes, you've come to the right place.
After the trial of the century, the verdict in the Rebekah Vardy vs Coleen Rooney case has finally been delivered. The 'Wagatha Christie' trial has been brought to a close, with a British court ruling this afternoon that Vardy had lost her libel case against Rooney.
The saga has been ongoing for almost three years now, stemming from social media posts made in October 2019.
Coleen Rooney alleged that someone with access to Rebekah Vardy's instagram account had been leaking stories about her to the press. Vardy denied the allegations, ultimately launching libel action against the 36-year old.
However, the court has now ruled against her.
Judge Justice Steyn said Coleen Rooney had succeeded in establishing that the essence of her claims was "substantially true", being satisfied that Vardy had knowledge of the stories being leaked to the press:
I have found that Ms Vardy was party to the disclosure to The Sun... Ms Vardy knew of and condoned this behaviour, actively engaging in it by directing Ms Watt to the Private Instagram Account, sending her screenshots of Ms Rooney's posts, drawing attention to items of potential interest to the press, and answering additional queries raised by the press via Ms Watt.
The judge also labelled the evidence presented by Vardy over the course of the trial as "manifestly inconsistent... evasive or implausible". She will now be forced to pay the majority of Rooney's legal fees as well as her own, an amount that could reach up to £3million.
The entire trial has been a huge pop culture event, with the online reaction throughout the court proceedings providing some incredible moments.

A few absolute belters in there.
Of course, some people were just glad to see it all come to an end.
Huge week of celebrations in the UK as the Lionesses reach the Euros final, the Commonwealth Games kick off in Birmingham and nobody has to hear the phrase ‘Wagatha Christie’ ever again.
