There are certain moments in our lives in which we remember where we were when we first heard about something.
While it may not have compared to the gut-wrenching moment England's World Cup chances were dashed, many remember the moment news of Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney's feud broke.
The story took the country by storm all the same, at least, it did on social media where it inspired memes galore and constant jokes about Coleen's allegations against Rebekah. Rebekah has denied these allegations and is suing Coleen for libel.
Now, the affair dubbed as "Wagatha Christie" is in court today, February 8, 2022, as the legal battle between the pair continues.
As reported by the Mail Online, the High Court today heard that Vardy has previously described Rooney as a "c***" in communication with her agent Caroline Watt.
This came after Coleen's online bombshell, in which Rebekah added she would "love to leak those stories".
So what happened and why are they in court?
Why is there a feud between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy?

"It's… Rebekah Vardy's account," was a bombshell for the ages posted on to Twitter by Coleen Rooney, wife of former Manchester United and Everton player Wayne Rooney.
Coleen claimed that she had been attempting to find out who had, supposedly, been informing The Sun newspaper about her private affairs.
She said: "For a few years now someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has been consistently informing THE SUN newspaper of my private posts and stories."
Hatching an ingenious plan, Rooney set about posting false stories on her private Instagram account to see if anyone was behind the leaks to the paper.
She went on: "To try and prove this, I came up with an idea. I blocked everyone from viewing my stories except ONE account.
"Over the past five months I have posted a series of false stories to see if they made their way into the Sun newspaper. and you know what, they did!"
The detective work earned Coleen the title of 'Wagatha Christie'.
Has Rebekah Vardy denied being the Coleen Rooney leak?
Rebekah Vardy, wife of currently Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy, has always denied being the leak behind the stories and she is now suing Coleen Rooney for libel.
At the time the bombshell dropped, Rebekah wrote back: "As I have just said to you on the phone, I wish you had called me if you thought this. I never speak to anyone about you as various journalists who have asked me to over the years can vouch for.
"I liked you a lot Coleen [and] I'm so upset that you have chosen to do this, especially when I'm heavily pregnant. I'm disgusted that I'm even having to deny this."
The latest round of the libel battle is now in the High Court from Tuesday, February 8. There is a two-day hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
Vardy is also alleged by Rooney's lawyers to be the author of the 'Secret Wag' column in The Sun. They said it shows the "history and practice of publicly disclosing private information about other people she was friendly or associated with."
Rebekah has also denied this.
