But he grumbled: “This could go on and on.”
Coleen, 38, was challenging having to pay 20 per cent of the £320,000 bill racked up by Becky’s team in early 2022.
It came months before their Wagatha Christie libel trial, which Becky lost.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023Coleen and hubby Wayne have spent the past few days at £2,000-a-night Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire.
Mum-of-five Becky, 42, is staying in a £7,000-a-night villa in Thailand with her Leicester City star husband Jamie.
Insiders said mum-of-four Coleen was disappointed to hear the judge could not settle the latest row.
A source said: “Coleen never wanted any of this and tried to sort this out privately with Becky years ago. To know it’s still going to drag on is disappointing as it’s something she just wants to see the back of.”
If they cannot strike a deal, which is said to boil down to around £10,000, then they may see the fight start up again in October.
That is also when lawyers will face off over Coleen’s £1.8million legal bill — of which Becky has been told to pay 90 per cent.
Coleen’s team had argued that Becky’s team had spent a disproportionate amount of time on the case.
Judge Gordon-Saker agreed and has reduced the number of hours in part of the claim from 243 to 171.
