Coleen Rooney has hit back at online trolls who accused her of photoshopping a glamorous mirror selfie. The Scouse beauty, 36, took to Twitter on Saturday to share a stunning snap of herself in a busty red dress before heading out to a party a week earlier. But her followers claimed Coleen had ‘photographed’ the image as she appeared to ‘float’ down the stairs of her and Wayne Rooney’s £20million home in Cheshire. ‘I don’t photoshop’: Coleen Rooney hits back at online trolls who accused her of photoshopping a glamorous mirror selfie Captioning the stunning photo, she posted on her social media: “Love that these shoes made an appearance for a fantastic party last week….worn for Wayne’s 18th bday!!! #vintageheels.’ The TV star’s massive chandelier in the background didn’t go unnoticed, but Twitter users were convinced Coleen had altered the photo. One captioned the snap: ‘You look photoshopped’ But Coleen was quick to defend herself as she hit back: ‘Don’t photoshop’ followed by a thumbs up emoji. Opinions: Her followers claimed Coleen had ‘photographed’ the image as she appeared to ‘float’ down the stairs of her and Wayne Rooney’s £20m Cheshire home Her social media post comes as she and Rebecca Vardy prepare for a dramatic final showdown in the High Court over who will foot the multi-million pound bill for their costly ‘Wagatha Christie’ defamation battle. Sources close to Coleen – who won the case last month – told The Mail on Sunday that she will fight to make sure Rebekah pays the full amount, which is estimated to be as much as £3 million. Usually a winning party will have to pay about 30 percent of the cost. But Coleen’s team claim the judge’s ruling that Becky sold stories about her to The Sun newspaper means it is “inconceivable” she will not be made to pay the full amount. Ms Justice Steyn ruled that Becky, 40, and her agent Caroline Watt leaked stories about Coleen, the wife of former England captain Wayne. Rebekah sued her ex-girlfriend for defamation over a now-famous social media post in which Coleen described setting up a “sting operation” by posting fake stories to select followers on her private Instagram account to reveal who was leaking stories about the one at Sun. The “big reveal” post in October 2019 ended: “It’s… Rebekah Vardy’s account.” After Rebekah took legal action, Coleen, 36, offered her a ‘drop hands’ offer, which meant they would both leave, paying their own costs. He also suggested that they make a charitable donation. But Rebecca refused, leading to an expensive High Court trial. Now, after her victory, Coleen wants her opponent to pay. A source close to Coleen said: “Coleen didn’t want this to happen. He knew the money would be better spent on so many other things, but he wasn’t going to let Rebecca get away with not paying the full cost. Damned: Mrs Justice Steyn ruled last month that Rebekah Vardy, 40, and her agent Caroline Watt leaked stories about Coleen Rooney, wife of former England captain Wayne “She tried to sort it out early on, but Rebecca wasn’t having it. And if you look at the outline of the judgment, it’s inconceivable that a judge wouldn’t agree to pay them in full. Let’s not forget, this energy was brought by Rebecca and she lost spectacularly.’ During a preliminary hearing in March last year, the costs were estimated at £1.3 million. Now, after two days of hearing the case in the High Court, reports claim the total could be as much as £3 million. Rebekah’s lawyer, Hugh Tomlinson QC, is said to be charging £10,000 a day, while his opponent, David Sherborne, is charging around £8,000. There is speculation that Rebecca and her husband, Leicester City striker Jamie, may have to sell their Portuguese villa to pay the legal bill.
