WAGS Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy will "never be friends again" as pals of the pair claim a cheating jibe caused their explosive fall out.

Coleen, who has been dubbed “WAGatha Christie”, sparked an extraordinary Twitter row yesterday by “outing” Rebekah as the person who had been leaking stories about her.

An insider said their friendship is now over after the mum-of-four, 33, publicly accused the pregnant WAG of being behind the leak.

And it appears a storm was brewing between the pair following an interview Rebekah gave to Fabulous magazine where she revealed she would divorce husband Jamie if he cheated.

She was speaking after Coleen had famously forgiven Wayne for a number of incidents throughout their marriage, which included a threesome with prostitutes while she was pregnant.

Rebekah said: “I thought all men were dirtbags, cheaters and only wanted one thing.

“He’s so supportive of everything I do, everything I say and everything I stand for.My husband isn’t like the rest of them - I love and trust him.

It comes as:

“I wouldn’t stand for it if my husband cheated on me, I wouldn’t put up with that in a million years.

“If I was prepared to put up with that behaviour, where would my self-respect be? What example would I be to my kids?”

It is understood that some of Rebekah’s friends are now wondering whether those words may have sparked the feud which was played out for the world to see yesterday.

Vardy’s interview in August has re-emerged after Coleen turned detective to find the culprit who was giving stories about her to the Press.

She had blocked all but Rebekah from her private Instagram account and posted a number of fictitious tales which then made it to the papers.

I wouldn’t stand for it if my husband cheated on me, I wouldn’t put up with that in a million years.

Coleen decided Rebekah must be the culprit, something the pregnant WAG has strongly denied.

And it has now emerged that Coleen and Wayne were helped by a professional who had previous experience of identifying moles, reports 

This is despite a British darts playing claiming he was the one who showed Coleen how to catch the person accused of leaking the stories.

In January an amateur sportsman, named Dave, urged the WAG to make up a false story to “find the culprit” after she revealed she was suspicious about one of her friends leaking.

TEARS

Meanwhile, it comes as Rebekah wept down the phone to Coleen after being accused of leaking the stories.

She begged Wayne’s wife to believe she was not to blame. A source said: “She pleaded but was rebuffed.”

It is also understood that Vardy has now instructed lawyers to carry out a "forensic investigation" on her Instagram account to see who has had access to it.

Coleen's original post, which has been "liked" more than 275,000 times, read: “After a long time of trying to figure out who it could be, for various reasons, I had a suspicion.

“To try and prove this, I came up with an idea, I blocked everyone from viewing Instagram except ONE account.

“(Those on my private account must have been wondering why I haven't had stories on there for a while).

If I was prepared to put up with that behaviour, where would my self-respect be? What example would I be to my kids?

Rebekah Vardy

“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 story about gender selection in Mexico, the story about returning to TV and then the latest story about the basement flood in my new house.

“It's been tough keeping it to myself and not making any comment at all, especially when the stories have been leaked, however I had to. Now I know for certain which account/individual it's come from.

“I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them.

“It's......... Rebekah Vardy's account.”

Vardy, who is heavily pregnant, immediately wrote her own statement to ask why Coleen didn’t call her before the post, insisting: “What would I gain from selling stories on you?”

DENIAL

She said: "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.

"If you thought this was happening you could have told me & I could have changed my passwords to see if it stopped.

"Over the years various people have had access to my insta & just this week I found I was following people I didn't know and have never followed myself.

"I'm not being funny but I don't need the money, what would I gain from selling stories on you?

"I liked you a lot Coleen & 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. You should have called me the first time this happened."

Each of the stories provided to The Sun was put to Coleen’s representatives before publication, and on each occasion they declined to comment.

A Sun Spokesperson said: "Like all reputable media organisations, we don't comment on sources."
