7 bizarre moments from Becky Vardy & Coleen Rooney’s Wagatha trial – from Gemma Collins fall to washing clothes in sink
REBEKAH Vardy and Coleen Rooney's explosive trial kicked off earlier this week.
On Tuesday the WAGs went head to head at London's High Court in the much anticipated Wagatha Christie trial.
Rebekah's lawyer blasted the "flawed" investigation after Coleen accused the mum-of-five of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the media.
Wayne Rooney's wife claimed to have carried out a months-long "sting operation" before publicly outing Rebekah in a bombshell social media post.
And Rebekah, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, denies the accusations and is now suing for libel.
Under English defamation law, the burden of proof now will be on Coleen to prove that her post was "substantially true".
Here are SEVEN bizarre moments from the trial so far.

Peter Andre claims
Rebekah claimed in court this week that she had been forced into being critical about Peter Andre by her ex-husband and regretted it.
It comes after an emotional Peter Andre apologised to his wife Emily and his four kids over her "chipolata" comments.
The 49-year-old star said he had been mocked about his manhood for 15 years because of an interview Rebekah gave in 2001.
After the historic story resurfaced this week, Peter wrote a now-deleted social media post saying it had been difficult to hold his tongue about the body-shaming.

He said: "Fifteen years this has been going on, and I kept quiet and didn't say anything. I let everyone have their laugh and say what they wanted to say.
"Just think if I had said this about her anatomy and made up something unflattering, there would be outrage...the only one who sits there and takes hit after hit about it, is me."
Gemma Collins
Rebekah also claimed that she was too distracted by Gemma Collins' Dancing On Ice "faceplant" to respond when her PR agent admitted she was the source of the Coleen Rooney car crash leak.
The court heard that agent Caroline Watt admitted she had been the source of the Honda car crash story.
Rebekah agreed that the message "appeared to confirm Caroline Watt was the source of the story".
The WAG did not respond to the message as it was the children's bath time then she was further distracted by the reality TV star's mishap
Davy Jones
And mythical sea figure Davy Jones was even mentioned in court today.
Coleen's barrister David Sherborne asked about Miss Watt losing her phone in the North Sea days after she was ordered to turn it over to the court.
He then jokingly asked: "We know that Miss Watt's phone is now in Davy Jones' Locker, don't we, Mrs Vardy?"
Rebekah, who was clearly baffled, then replied: "I'm sorry, I don't know who Davy Jones is."
As people in the room burst out laughing, the judge explained it's an idiom for the bottom of the sea.
Washing clothes in sink
Mum-of-five Rebekah was accused of having "selective amnesia" after denying that she had previously called herself the "unofficial leader of the WAGS" in an interview.
The article said England's successful run in the tournament was down to Gareth Southgate "giving the lads the freedom to score - with their wives and girlfriends".
Rebekah said the quote about her "leadership" was made up by her interviewer.
And she also said she hadn't spoken with journalists during the visit to Russia - because she was too busy washing her clothes in the sink.
"I was busy with the kids and under so much stress," she said.
"We even had to wash our own clothes in the sink at the hotel."
"To be honest" comment
Jamie Vardy's wife was on the receiving end of a grilling from David Sherborne during today's court hearing.
The court heard the FA were "worried" about WAGs "drawing too much attention" during the World Cup.
And Rebekah said: "If I'm being honest, I can't remember that at all."
Mr Sherborne fired back: "Well, I would much rather you were honest, because you are in a witness box under oath."
Vardy crying
Rebekah left the witness box in tears after a day of jabs from barrister David Sherborne.
The WAG broke down in tears twice over the lawyer's jibes - including the joke about Davy Jones.
After complaints of poor form from Rebekah's lawyer Hugh Tomlinson, judge Mrs Justice Steyn said Mr Sherborne's comments were "unnecessary".

But moments later, Rebekah was in tears again. She put her head in her hands as she said: "There's been a lot of abuse."
Drinking excuse
And Rebekah was asked a number of questions by Sherborne about the World Cup in Russia in 2018 during the libel battle.
Rebekah said that Ms Watt had arranged for a photographer to take pictures of her as she left her hotel, but denied giving the photographer the location of either the hotel or a restaurant she went to that evening with the England team's WAGs.
She said she was "happy" to be photographed leaving the hotel but claimed that updates she sent when plans changed throughout the evening were not because she was working with the agent to arrange a "pap shot" of the group.
Mr Sherborne suggested that a message to Ms Watt which said "I have bought about 10 minutes" referred to the fact Mrs Vardy was delaying some of the women from posting a group snap on social media.
Rebekah used being boozy as an excuse, saying: "Well, it reads like that, I don't recall it like that and if I'm being honest ... I had been drinking."
