For seven days, I sat in the front row of the multimillion-pound libel trial and, to be honest with you - another favourite phrase of Vardy's, (a phrase which led Coleen Rooney's barrister, David Sherborne QC to retort, "Well, I'd much rather you're honest because you are sitting in a witness box") - in all my many years of covering fashion and celebrities in this paper, this was the purest form of entertainment I have ever seen.
