manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Jurors in the trial of Ryan Giggs have now heard all the evidence in the case, after a large number of messages, poems and love letters were revealed. Mr Giggs, 48, has pleaded not guilty to displaying controlling or coercive behaviour towards ex-partner Kate Greville, assault occasioning actual bodily harm of Kate Greville, and assault by beating of Emma Greville.

In the second week of the trial, heard at Manchester Crown Court, Mr Giggs gave evidence from the witness box over three days, in which he admitted to being a ‘love cheat’ and that he had ‘never been faithful’, but he denied assault and controlling behaviour.

Sir Alex Ferguson also gave evidence in which he told jurors that Mr Giggs had a ‘fantastic temperament’ and said he ‘never saw him lose his temper’.

Jurors were also read a number of messages, poems and love letters sent between Mr Giggs and Ms Greville throughout their relationship.

In 2017, the following text exchange took place:

Ms Greville: “Can you do me a work favour….?”

Mr Giggs: “Are you using me for my photography skills?”

Ms Greville: “No baby, we support each other and you support me.”

Mr Giggs later messaged: “I have really never made you cringe, truthfully Kate?”

Ms Greville messaged: “Never, you’re my absolute ideal, my best friend. You’ll never make me cringe, even if you tried…."

Mr Giggs messaged: “You’re amazing Kate, you’re the most impressive girl I’ve ever met and I adore you.”

Mr Giggs later messaged Ms Greville to compliment her on her business.

He said: “I had natural ability and made the most of it, I have never been as brave as you.”
