Rebekah Vardy has upped the the stakes with her public battle with Coleen Rooney over claims her Instagram account leaked information about Wayne Rooney’s wife to the press.
Rebekah, who is married to Jamie Vardy, has called for an interim hearing which could escalated the row.
Vary, 38, is seeking to prove she was libelled when Rooney, 34, accused her Instagram account of leaked planted stories about her.
A source has told The Sun: “Things have been rumbling on for ages, and costs spiralling too.

“This will mean that a judge can actually get to the crux of the case — and make those involved put up or shut up. It should mean things can finally get moving and dealt with quickly.
“This is a shot across the bows. It effectively says, ‘Come on, stop mucking about, let’s get on with this’.
“It certainly isn’t what Coleen will want. It puts her on the back foot.”
Coleen sent shockwaves though the industry last year after making a bombshell statement about leaked stories via Instagram.

In a toe-curling post, the WAG wrote: “For a few years now someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has been consistently informing The Sun newspaper of my private posts and stories.
“There has been so much information given to them about me, my friends and my family – all without my permission or knowledge.
“After a long time of trying to figure out who it could be, for various reasons, I had a suspicion.”
She went on to explain how she set a paper trail of fake stories to try and track down the culprit.

She signed off the post: “Now I know for certain which account/individual it’s come from.
“I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them.
“It’s … Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
Vardy has always categorically denied leaking speaking to any journalists or leaking any information to the press.
