Coleen Rooney shows off her toned figure in a blue bikini as she soaks up the sun at beach club in Ibiza with husband Wayne - after winning Wagatha Christie battle
Coleen Rooney showed off her toned figure in a blue bikini as she soaked up the sun in Ibiza on Friday with her husband Wayne. The WAG and businesswoman, 39, was making the most of her time away at the Cala Bassa Beach Club on the party island. Coleen turned heads in a striking blue halter neck bikini, showing off her enviable figure as she cooled off with a swim before going to join Wayne for a drink at the club. She accessorised perfectly for the sunny day with a pair of designer Miu Miu shades and swept back her brunette tresses while topping up her tan. Former Manchester United and England footballer Wayne, also 39, looked every bit the holidaymaker as he reclined on a sun lounger with a glass of sparkling sangria in hand. The couple appeared completely at ease, smiling and chatting as they enjoyed some much-needed downtime in the sun. Coleen turned heads in a striking blue halter neck bikini, showing off her enviable figure as she cooled off with a swim before going join Wayne for a drink at the club Their holiday comes hot on the heels of Coleen's rival Rebekah Vardy speaking out on their Wagatha Christie drama. She has claimed she faced 'more scrutiny than murderers and paedophiles' amid the court case. In 2019, the WAG was publicly accused of leaking stories about Coleen to The Sun newspaper, which she furiously denied, resulting in a high profile court battle. Rebekah, 43, suffered further humiliation when she lost her libel case and in a fresh blow last month she was ordered to pay £1,190,000 of Coleen's legal bills. And this week the mother-of-five has claimed the backlash towards her was disproportionate and has continued to protest her innocence. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Rebekah insisted: 'I didn't sell stories to The Sun newspaper and that really is the end of it'. Claiming that she 'got the raw end of that', she continued: 'In fact, I think murderers and paedophiles have faced far less scrutiny than I did.' Yet Rebekah noted that now she's 'at peace' and is looking forward, in particular, to an upcoming Netflix documentary about husband Jamie. She also revealed that she is still in touch with Caroline Watt - her former agent - who she claimed was responsible for leaking the stories behind her back. After her swim they enjoyed a refreshing drink at the beach club She accessorised perfectly for the sunny day with a pair of designer Miu Miu shades and swept back her brunette tresses while topping up her tan She looked great in the flattering blue bikini Caroline was also the owner of a mobile phone filled with evidence that ended up at the bottom of the North Sea - or 'Davy Jones's locker' as it was famously dubbed in court. Rebekah claimed that Coleen's legal team had been 'unfair and completely unjust' in serving paperwork to Caroline's home rather than through her lawyers and that Caroline had been through 'considerable anguish'. Caroline did not testify during the trial, after being deemed 'not fit to provide oral evidence', and is yet to provide comment on the matter. When told that fans would be keen to hear Caroline's side of story, Rebekah mused: 'Well, maybe there's a different version of that completely.' Last month, the six-year legal battle finally came to an end when Rebekah agreed to pay £1,190,000 of Coleen's legal bill, plus was ordered to pay a further £212,266 in assessment costs, after sensationally losing their high-profile libel case. This takes the total Rebekah must pay to at least £1,402,266.20. MailOnline understands she has already paid some of the bill, including £800,000 four years ago and £100,000 last year. Coleen must also pay Rebekah a total of £135,097.50 in costs under the terms of court orders from 2024, which will be set off against what Rebekah must pay. A source close to Rebekah told MailOnline: 'It's a huge relief for Rebekah that this long legal battle is now coming to an end. 'She's looking forward to putting the whole ordeal well and truly behind her. 'Now she's just focusing on the future. And there are some big plans coming up for her now that she just wants to get cracking with.' Coleen ran up a legal bill of more than £1.8 million while successfully defending herself against Rebekah's High Court claim in 2022. After losing their High Court showdown, Rebekah was ordered to pay 90 percent of Coleen's legal costs. Her lawyer previously argued Coleen's team had used a 'kitchen sink' approach when calculating the total and included 'over £120,000 of costs to which Coleen has no entitlement'. It was also claimed the bill included costs for one of the WAG's team to stay at Nobu - a five star luxury hotel - and 'substantial dinner and drinks charges as well as mini bar charges'. The lawyer said Coleen's £1,833,906.89 legal bill was over three times her 'agreed costs budget of £540,779.07'. But Coleen's lawyer, Robin Dunne, had argued it was 'frankly outrageous' to accuse them of dishonesty. The catalyst for the famous Wagatha Christie case was a dramatic open letter written by Coleen and posted on social media in October 2019 in which she revealed she had turned detective to figure out who had been leaking the stories. Coleen publicly claimed Rebekah's account was the source behind three newspaper stories featuring fake details she had posted on her private Instagram profile - her travelling to Mexico for a 'gender selection' procedure, her planning to return to TV and the basement flooding at her home. What followed was a tearful appearance from Rebekah on ITV's Loose Women in February 2020 in which claimed the stress over the dispute had caused her to have anxiety attacks so severe she 'ended up in hospital three times'. The emotional display was met by Coleen with a statement to say she did not want to 'engage in further public debate' on the matter. Meanwhile Rebekah has been enjoying a holiday of her own this week with some girlfriends Four months later, in June 2020, Rebekah began legal proceedings against Coleen for libel with her lawyers alleging she had 'suffered extreme distress, hurt, anxiety and embarrassment as a result of the publication of the post and the events which followed'. When the case returned to the courts in February 2022, a series of explosive messages between Rebekah and her agent Caroline were revealed with Coleen's lawyers alleging they were about her. In May 2022, the women finally came face-to-face in court to give evidence as the Wagatha Christie trial began in the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Coleen secured her victory the next month when Mrs Justice Steyn delivered her verdict, dismissing the claim made by Rebekah and finding Coleen had proved the meaning of her famous accusatory letter was 'substantially true'. Whilst Coleen said she was 'pleased' the judge had ruled in her favour, Rebekah declared she was 'extremely sad and disappointed' at the decision.

Tom Cleverley reveals message from Wayne Rooney after former Man Utd star named new Plymouth Argyle boss
WAYNE ROONEY gave a glowing endorsement of Plymouth Argyle to new boss Tom Cleverley. Former England and Manchester United ace Rooney played alongside Cleverley at Old Trafford and won the 2013 Premier League together, while the pair also played for the Three Lions. 4 4 Cleverley replaces Miron Muslic at the League One club and the 35-year-old says ex- Argyle manager Rooney, who spent seven months at Home Park, gave him the thumbs up to take on the job. The former midfielder, in his second managerial job after being in charge of Watford last season, said: 'I spoke not just with Wayne but other people who I know that have played for or coached at the club. 'He gave the club and the place a glowing reference and he's obviously someone's opinion that I can trust. 'I played with him for many years and I think it's important that I did some references, but most of all is what I see now through my own eyes. 'That will really start on Monday when I get on the pitch with the players and I make my own judgements, but I like to thoroughly research whatever I'm about to dive in to and the references were glowing.' Cleverley is the fifth permanent Argyle manager in the last 18 months and will have a fresh start at the club following relegation from the Championship. Argyle chairman Simon Hallett is looking for new investment, and the club was linked with a takeover that included former Wales captain Gareth Bale among their consortium. But Pilgrims CEO Andrew Parkinson said: 'That was speculation and we're not in a position to talk about individuals or investors. When we have got the opportunity we will do that." BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 4 Argyle have confirmed their first signing under Cleverley, recruiting former Arsenal starlet Xavier Amaechi. The ex-England youth international, 24, joins on a three-year deal from German side FC Magdeburg. Upon sealing the deal, boss Cleverley said: "Xavier is a quick and exciting winger who will add further competition to our forward options. "He has good European experience having played in Germany, and returns to England a more rounded player, but he is still young and has so much room for growth and development. "He showed a real desire to be a part of Argyle and I am delighted to welcome him to the club." Amaechi is the Devon side's fifth summer signing; with Jamie Paterson, Caleb Watts, Jack Mackenzie and Bradley Ibrahim having joined prior to Cleverley's arrival. 4

Randell set to leave Plymouth amid Bristol City interest
New Plymouth Argyle head coach Tom Cleverley says he is resigned to losing midfielder Adam has linked the homegrown 24-year-old with a move to Championship side Bristol City after Argyle were relegated to League One last month. Randell played 173 games for the Pilgrims over seven years and scored 10 goals and has a year remaining on his contract."You're going to have a lot of interest and especially when there's buy-out clauses and things like that, so there's a strong possibility that that happens," Cleverley said."He's a player that I really admire. When we played Plymouth in the cup last year and speaking to Wayne (Rooney), he spoke really highly of him and being a midfielder myself he's someone who I've paid a lot of attention to over the last 10 months."I'm disappointed I'm not able to work with him but I'll never stand in the way of anyone wanting to play at the top level."Let's hope that our players are playing at that level together at Argyle and we don't lose too many of them."
