She could face a bill of as much as £4 million after losing her libel lawsuit against Coleen Rooney.
Yet Rebekah Vardy, 40, didn’t let looming financial worries stop her from going on vacation when she shared a striking bikini photo on Instagram on Tuesday.
The mum-of-five looked incredible in a bright pink two-piece as she posed for a sizzling selfie in the mirror while enjoying time out in an unfamiliar location.

The bandeau bikini top and high-waisted briefs showcased her toned stomach and long legs, while she went makeup-free to let her natural beauty shine through.
While she may not have been home at the gym, that didn’t stop Rebekah from getting in a workout as she added a note that read “no equipment, no apologies.”
Rebekah was no doubt pleased with a relaxing break, as her reputation has been tarnished after she scored one of the worst own goals in British legal history.
After Wagatha Christie’s libel drama ended in Coleen’s favor, it’s now up to Rebekah and her footballer, husband Jamie, to foot the bill.

It’s thought to have to find £800,000 by November 15 and she’ll also have to pay her own scrumptious fees – which have been estimated at £2,017,860.
In addition to around £200,000 in additional trial costs, this could bring the final total to around £3.7m – although some estimates suggest it could be over £4m.
It comes from a Supreme Court judge who dismissed her evidence as “evasive or implausible” in one of the most closely followed cases in recent years.
She was accused of deliberately deleting WhatsApp messages central to the case, as it was suggested that her agent also intentionally dropped her phone in the North Sea.

Rebekah and her Jamie were left with the bill after Ms Steyn ruled in Coleen’s favor in a verdict that said portions of her sworn evidence were “manifestly inconsistent”, “not credible” and should be treated with “very significant caution’.
She lost her high-profile libel suit against Coleen in July when Judge Steyn ruled that Coleen’s social media viral post accusing Rebekah of leaking her private information to the press was “essentially true.”
It followed a viral social media post in which Coleen revealed that she had posted false stories on her Instagram page. These fake stories then appeared in The Sun newspaper.

Having changed her settings so that only one user could see it, she felt confident to make the famous statement “it’s….Rebekah Vardy’s account”.
In an injunction made public last week, the judge ordered Rebekah to pay 90 percent of Coleen’s costs.
Coleen incurred total costs of over £2million, but £350,000 of that had already been collected before the trial in May, so those were removed to produce a final figure of £1,667,860.
Such was the public interest in the case being turned into a West End play – with hearings staged ‘word for word’.
There will also be a TV show, Vardy v Rooney: A Courtroom Drama, featuring the first footage of the Channel 4 drama released last month.
Vardy was ordered to pay £800,000 of the expense account on 15 November at 4pm.
