Rebekah Vardy has arrived alone at the Royal Courts of Justice for the final day of the so-called 'Wagatha Christie' case.
After a week in court, both Coleen and Wayne Rooney have skipped the last day of the trial.
The case was originally due to wrap up on Wednesday but Vardy and Rooney's legal teams were given extra time to deliver their final arguments today.

It is understood that the couple had expected the trial to be finished before Thursday, but decided to continue with their holiday plans so as not to disappoint their children.
Commenting on their absence, a source told the Mail Online: "It’s been a long and gruelling process for both Wayne and Coleen and they didn’t want to disappoint their children."

Rebekah Vardy is suing Coleen Rooney for libel over a 2019 social media post that accused Vardy of leaking stories about her to The Sun.
Over the course of the trial, the court was shown screengrabs of the fabricated stories posted from Rooney's Instagram account, only viewed by Vardy's account.
Rooney accused her former friend of sharing stories about her to the press after conducting her own 'sting operation' to find the leak in her contacts.

Announcing that she had found the leak back in October 2019, Coleen wrote: "I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them.
"It’s ……….Rebekah Vardy’s account."
The trial continues...
