Coleen is back in the witness stand at the High Court with husband Wayne, who has been supporting her throughout the high-profile trial.
She admitted today her 14-year marriage to Wayne hasn't always been plain sailing.
Hugh Tomlinson QC referenced Wayne's drink-driving arrest in 2017 where he was caught driving a party girl's car.
The barrister said it was "another apparent crisis" in their relationship and that the ex-Utd star had been "misbehaving".

Coleen added: "Yes there has been a few. It's unfortunate that things have happened in my life.
"They get publicised and it's happened quite a few times.
";I have dealt with it, we have dealt with it, as a couple and as a family.
"There were a few things over these few years."
It comes after she also revealed her Wagatha sting operation against Rebekah Vardy was so secretive she didn't even tell him about it.
Coleen told the court: "If I wanted to find out who was doing it to me, I had to keep it to myself.
"One thing I don't do is put my troubles and my worries on anybody else."

Coleen told on Friday how she was in a "vulnerable situation" after Wayne was arrested for drink-driving following a ten-hour booze session.
The Derby manager was driving party girl Laura Simpson home in her VW Beetle when cops swooped back in 2017 while Coleen was pregnant.
Coleen branded his behaviour as "some wrongdoing" as she spoke candidly about her 14-year marriage.
She also revealed she "wasn't sure if they were going to get back together" and said they spent time apart.
Coleen said she had "suspicions" that Rebekah's Instagram account was responsible for leaking stories.
She unfollowed her on Instagram - but admitted she "told her a fib" when Rebekah confronted her about it and asked if she had "offended" her.
Coleen said she "didn't even know" they weren't following each other anymore and blamed her kids, who often use her phone.
She also claimed she "wouldn't have been that bothered" if she had been unfollowed as her and "fame hungry" Rebekah were "not good friends".
'RUDE AND ABUSIVE'
The court heard how Rebekah "made a choice" to sit behind Coleen at a Euro 2016 match.
The Wag claimed in her evidence Coleen was actually sitting her seats so "rather than make a fuss", they'd move elsewhere.
But Harpreet Robertson, a former ticketing manager and family liaison officer for the Football Association, said this was "simply untrue".
She explained she didn't know if it was "deliberate" that Rebekah sat behind Coleen but said she "deduced it was a choice" after speaking with colleagues.
Ms Robertson also said two of Rebekah's guests were "rude and abusive" when she asked them to move from the seats, which were reserved for FA staff.
She wrote in her witness statement: "I asked them to move but they refused and were incredibly rude and abusive to me, remarking words to the effect of “we can sit where we like, f**k off”.
"An altercation followed which almost reduced me to tears."
WAGATHA ROW
It came after Coleen claimed her post was a "last resort" and told the court she was "surprised" by how much it exploded.
She said today she "hated every minute" of the fallout - but the court was told she had a Scooby Doo meme about "unmasking the villain" on her phone.
Coleen also revealed she has tried three times "in vain" to settle the multi-million pound case before it reached trial.
She said: "I've been silent... I don't want to be here... it's Mrs Vardy who has brought me here".
Coleen turned detective in October 2019 and accused Rebekah of sharing stories from her personal Instagram account.
In the infamous post, Coleen said she posted a string of false stories via her Instagram account with restricted access to see if they appeared in the media, which they did.
She then said the fake stories had only been viewed by one person, and ended dramatically: “It’s . . . Rebekah Vardy’s account.”
Coleen revealed today how Rebekah messaged her after asking: "WTF is this?"
It came after she shared a quote on her private Instagram after deciding to share her sleuth work, saying "Don't play games with the girl who can play better."
Jamie Vardy's wife Rebekah, who was heavily pregnant at the time, denied the allegations and claimed she was heavily abused as a result.
When asked if she knew sharing her sleuth work would lead to Rebekah being trolled, Coleen said: "No, not in any way.
"That's not in my nature".
REBEKAH'S TEARS
It came after Rebekah broke down for a THIRD time as she slammed "hurtful" trolls.
She said she was forced to endure "hurtful and upsetting" abuse from trolls after Coleen's infamous Wagatha post went viral.
Rebekah added: "This was my life."
The judge suggested a short break so Rebekah could compose herself - although she wept again moments after returning.
She broke down as she told how her baby was born in December 2019 - just two months after Coleen's post.
Rebekah admitted she was "not in a good place" at the time.
She also revealed she feared losing the baby after the Wagatha post and said it left her suffering from ";constant anxiety, panic attacks".
Bringing her evidence to a close, Rebekah said she felt "bullied" and "manipulated" over the past four days.

When asked why she took the case to court, she added: "I didn't do anything wrong - I wanted to clear my name, and not just for me, for my family and my children."
