Ryan Giggs broke down in tears as he described spending the night in a police cell as “the worst experience of his life” following his arrest for allegedly headbutting ex Kate Greville. The 48 year old former Manchester United star is accused of assaulting Ms Greville, 37, after a row at their home in Worsley, Greater Manchester on November 1, 2020.
Ms Greville told jurors at Manchester Crown Court last week that Giggs “grabbed me by both shoulders, looked me straight in the eyes and headbutted me in my lip”. Giggs, who is also accused of coercive and controlling behaviour towards Ms Greville during their six-year relationship, denies all charges and claims there was “minor contact” between their faces as they grappled over his phone.The court heard Ms Greville’s sister called police and Giggs was arrested and spent the night in a police cell.
Asked by his barrister Chris Daw QC how he found that night, the ex-Wales manager told jurors: “Worst experience of my life,” and began to cry. Judge Hilary Manley asked Giggs: “Mr Giggs do you want to sit down?” to which he replied: “No, it’s OK” and Mr Daw said: “Sorry, I have only got a few minutes left [of questions].” The evidence then resumed.
Prior to the alleged headbutting, Ms Greville claims she was “pinned” to the ground by Giggs as he tried to take her phone from her in the hallway. Giving evidence this afternoon, the former Manchester United player denied trying to take Ms Greville’s phone and said the pair had tripped over bags in the hallway and he had accidentally landed on top of her.
He claimed he then found Ms Greville’s phone in the home’s utility room and put it in his pocket in retaliation for her taking his phone minutes before. He said the pair were moving
