Ryan Giggs has ‘two sides’ of his personality and it’s ‘time for him to pay the price’, prosecutors claim

FOOTIE legend Ryan Giggs has two “very different” sides to his personality and it is “time for him to pay the price”, a court heard.

The ex-Man United ace, 48, is said to have used “physical domination” as his “ultimate trump card” when he allegedly attacked partner Kate Greville, 38.

Jurors heard the couple exchanged 19,671 messages during their six-year relationship.

Prosecutor Peter Wright QC said yesterday that when Giggs was “riled”, he responded with “hate-filled outbursts of bile”.

He added that these were sent to “the very same woman moments earlier he had professed to love and care for”.

During his closing statement at Manchester crown court, Mr Wright said there were “two very different Ryan Giggs”.

He added: “The one who is exposed for public consumption and the one who exists on occasion behind closed doors.”

He said Giggs thought he could “get away with it” — but a 999 call made by Kate’s sister Emma, 26, in November 2020 from his home in Worsley, Gtr Manchester, was a “microcosm of the entire case”.

He added: “The truth has caught up with him and now it’s his time to pay the price.”

Chris Daw QC, for Giggs, said the case was about infidelity and Kate was a “scorned” woman “furious” about his inability to remain faithful.

Giggs denies charges of coercive control and ABH.

The case continues.
