The former Manchester United star has been giving evidence in his defence for a second day.

“I couldn’t believe it. Giggs also claimed he was “very supportive” to Greville in setting up her own PR business, and there was “no truth” to allegations to the contrary. In June 2020, Greville moved out, with Giggs saying there was “no excuse whatsoever” for his choice of language in an email he sent to her, with the subject “C***!!!”. “There was a suite in the room and I said ‘You can sleep in the area where there is a couch’.” But Giggs said: “It was a really happy time from my perspective”, adding that they would “bicker” but had “no big arguments”. Asked about the nature of his sex life with Greville during this time, Giggs said: “The nature was the same as it had always been – a healthy sex life and sometimes it could get rough.” In response to a message from Giggs that it was “a fine line”, Greville then said: “We’ll just have to have fun finding that line then.” He denied there was any confrontation in the club, but once Greville arrived back at the hotel an “hour or so” after Giggs a row began over her contact with the male presenter. While in a nightclub booth facing the dancefloor, he said: “I was sat down and had a clear view of Kate and one of the male sports presenters who was present. Daw then asked about a picture Giggs sent Greville with the message “Bully”, showing a scratch on his neck that Giggs said was from when they had sex. Giggs also described “trying to push” ex-girlfriend Kate Greville at the Stafford Hotel in London in 2019 during a row, after claiming she had been “holding hands” with a sports presenter on a nightclub dancefloor earlier that night. FORMER MANCHESTER UNITED footballer Ryan Giggs has told a jury that his sex life with the partner who has accused him of “head-butting” her during a row was “rough” but “always mutual”.
