Rebekah Vardy displays her toned figure in a bikini selfie while facing £4m Wagatha Christie bill

She could be facing a whopping £4 million bill after losing her libel trial against Coleen Rooney. 

Yet Rebekah Vardy, 40, didn’t let any looming financial worries stop her heading off on holiday as she shared a striking bikini snap on Instagram on Tuesday. 

The mother-of-five looked incredible in a hot pink two piece as she posed for a sizzling mirror selfie while enjoying some time out at an undisclosed location. 

The bandeau bikini top and high waisted briefs put her toned stomach and long legs on display, while she went makeup-free to allow her natural beauty to shine through. 

While she may have been away from her home gym, that didn’t stop Rebekah from squeezing in a workout as she added a note reading ‘no equipment, no excuses.’ 

Rebekah was no doubt glad for a relaxing getaway as her reputation has been left in tatters after she scored one of the worst own goals in British legal history. 

After the Wagatha Christie libel drama ended in Coleen’s favour, it now falls to Rebekah and her footballer husband Jamie to foot the enormous bill.

While they asses their finances, the Rooney clan have been enjoying a holiday of their own, sharing snaps from their sunsoaked trip to Dubai.

It’s thought to have to find £800,000 by November 15 and she’ll also have to pay her own eye-watering fees – which have been put at £2,017,860.

In addition to approximately £200,000 of additional trial costs this could bring the final total to around £3.7m – although some estimates suggest it could exceed £4m.

It comes at the hands of a High Court judge who dismissed her evidence as ‘evasive or implausible’ in one of the most closely-followed cases in recent years.

She was accused of deliberately deleting WhatsApp messages central to the case as it was suggested her agent also intentionally dropped her phone in the North Sea. 

Accusation: Coleen posted on Instagram accusing Rebekah of leaking stories to The Sun newspaper following her own months-long ‘sting operation’

Rebekah and her Jamie were left with the bill after Mrs Justice Steyn ruled in favour of Coleen in a judgment that said swathes of her evidence given under oath had been ‘manifestly inconsistent’, ‘not credible’ and needed to be treated with ‘very considerable caution’.

She lost her high-profile libel claim against Coleen in July when Justice Steyn ruled that Coleen’s viral social media post accusing Rebekah of leaking her private information to the press was ‘substantially true’.

It followed a viral social media post where Coleen had revealed she had put false stories on her Instagram page. These fake tales then emerged in The Sun newspaper.

Because she had changed her settings so only one user could see it she felt confident to make the famous declaration ‘it’s….Rebekah Vardy’s account’.

In an order made public last week, the judge ruled that Rebekah should pay 90 percent of Coleen’s costs.

 Coleen incurred total costs of more than £2 million, but £350,000 of those had already been racked up before the trial in May, so those were removed to produce a final figure of £1,667,860. 

Such was the public interest in the case that it is being adapted into a West End play – with hearings to be staged ‘word for word’. 

There is also set to be a TV show, Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama, with the first images of the Channel 4 drama released last month.  

Vardy was ordered to pay £800,000 of the costs bill by 4pm on November 15.
