Rebekah Vardy dons a sparkling silver shirt dress as she departs Mykonos in a luxurious helicopter

She’s been enjoying an opulent holiday in Mykonos, where she put her Wagatha Christie legal troubles to the back of her mind to soak up the Greek sun.

And Rebekah Vardy’s summer holiday came to a showstopping end of Sunday. 

Donning a sparkly silver shirt dress, the 39-year-old wife of Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy, 34, was spotted boarding a luxurious helicopter.

Protecting her eyes with a pair of oversized shades, the former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here campmate carried a white handbag in which a straw beach hat rested.

The Dancing on Ice contestant had tied her chocolate tresses into a messy bun and sported a pair of silver-strapped sandals.

One outfit change later and the Norwich-born star had transformed her seaside look into a casual vest-top and purple jogger ensemble as she headed inside the chopper.

Last month, Coleen Rooney scored another Wagatha Christie victory as Rebekah was ordered to pay £10,500 towards her legal fees in their High Court battle.

It’s a further blow to the DOI star’s long-running £1million libel suit against Coleen, who last week claimed a 2-1 victory in the latest round of their fight.

The victory came after a judge rejected Rebekah’s bid to remove substantial parts of Coleen’s defence relating to her rival’s dealings with The Sun newspaper and its column The Secret Wag.

Judge Mrs Justice Steyn ruled that such dealings could be a relevant part of her defence of libel action brought by Rebekah following the leaking of Coleen’s private Instagram posts to The Sun in 2019, which she denies.

Coleen’s legal team compared the win to a ‘2-1 victory in the semi-final’ and are increasingly confident going into the next part of the battle in the autumn.

A source said: ‘Coleen’s legal team will present further evidence concerning Rebekah Vardy’s dealing with The Sun and links with The Secret WAG. 

There are lot of people with knowledge of her long term relationship with the newspaper and how it worked. Last week’s ruling could open a Pandora’s Box for Rebekah.’

However, Charlotte Harris of law firm Kingsley Napley, representing Rebekah, said: ‘The Judge has struck out about 10 pages of material from Mrs Rooney’s defence as irrelevant or a waste of court time.

Mrs Rooney has to re-plead the part of her public interest defence which was said by the Judge to be ‘impermissible’.

‘This is now Mrs Rooney’s third attempt at a putting forward a defence to Mrs Vardy’s libel claim. She has been ordered to cover the costs of this exercise and Mrs Vardy’s costs of amending her Reply.

The Judge made three costs orders – two in favour of Mrs Vardy and one in favour of Mrs Rooney for £10,500.

‘Although the Judge did not allow the Summary judgement application, she said in her judgement that there was ‘some force’ in Mrs Vardy’s case that there are very significant differences between the TV Decisions Articles and the post on which it is supposed to be based. This goes to the heart of the case.

‘Mrs Vardy is not the Secret Wag. The Judge has made clear that the identity of the Secret Wag does not go to the core issues and has reserved the ability to cut out or limit this issue in the future.

‘Mrs Vardy is completely confident that she will succeed at trial.’
