COLEEN Rooney has been seen for the first time as Becky Vardy shared a cryptic Instagram post after being ordered to pay £1.5million over their Wagatha battle.
The victorious wag was seen wearing a grey hoodie as she ran errands in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
And rival Rebekah Vardy uploaded an Instagram story that reads: "It's always the ones with the dirty hands pointing the fingers."
Rebekah Vardy was today sensationally ordered to pay Coleeen Rooney £1.5million after losing their Wagatha Christie legal battle.
The Wag must fork out £800,000 of that settlement by November 15 – months after the pair's head-to-head libel showdown.
Coleen accused Vardy of leaking stories to the press in an infamous Twitter post ending: "It's… Rebekah Vardy's account."

Becky, who is married to footballer Jamie, was savaged by a judge after Coleen won the landmark libel case – bringing an end to the three-year saga.
And now, Judge Mrs Justice Steyn has ordered Rebekah to foot 90 per cent of Coleen's costs.
This amounts to £1.5million of the Wag's final figure of £1,667,860.
Coleen's lawyers welcomed the decision this afternoon after the court found Rebekah "deliberately deleted or destroyed evidence".

Paul Lunt, of Brabners, added: "That behaviour falls outside the ordinary and reasonable conduct expected of a party in legal proceedings.
“This followed a separate finding regarding the loss of evidence that was in the possession of Rebekah Vardy’s former agent, Caroline Watt.
“Coleen’s pursuit of that evidence is a major reason why her legal costs increased substantially from the original estimates given to the court long before the start of the trial."
The Sun earlier revealed how Coleen doubled her court costs bill after winning the battle – incurring an eye-watering bill of £2million.
But as £350,000 of this had already been racked up before the trial in May, the final figure was instead given as £1,667,860.

The judge also said Coleen has not yet produced a final total costs bill, and therefore the figures in the order have been taken from a breakdown of her costs given in a statement from her solicitor.
Today's figure is on top of Rebekah's own legal costs, which are believed to be around the same amount.
