Description: Rebekah Vardy has repeatedly denied leaking information to newspapers about her fellow footballer's wife Coleen Rooney and her friends and family, as she gave evidence during the libel claim at the High Court. Under questioning from Ms Rooney’s lawyer David Sherborne, Ms Vardy agreed with his proposition that it was “wrong” and “upsetting” for someone to secretly pass on another person’s information that they didn’t want shared. Ms Vardy later added: “I didn’t leak anything to anyone.” Earlier, Ms Vardy’s barrister, Hugh Tomlinson QC, said his client had to bring the libel claim to “vindicate her reputation” as the high-profile libel battle got underway after months of preliminary hearings. The full trial is due to last seven days, during which Ms Rooney, her football manager husband Wayne, his cousin and Ms Rooney’s brother, will also give evidence. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook: facebook.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Twitter: twitter.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Instagram: instagram.com/itvnews
