Coleen Rooney has accused Rebekah Vardy of passing stories about her to The Sun newspaper – something Mrs Vardy strenuously denies.
Rooney posted on her Twitter account that private Instagram stories, which are posts that disappear after 24 hours on the social media app, had been leaked to the tabloid newspaper.
Rooney, who is married to footballer Wayne Rooney, claims she had set the privacy settings to ensure that the posts were only visible to one account, which belongs to Vardy.
She claims the posts which she set to be only viewable by the account were fake, including that she had been considering gender selection in order to have a baby girl. These stories have been written about by some newspapers.
Shortly after Rooney’s public accusation, Vardy responded on Instagram denying any involvement.
Vardy, married to footballer Jamie Vardy, wrote: “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 and I could have changed my passwords to see if it stopped.”
