Ryan Giggs admits in court he’s a ‘serial love cheat who cannot resist women’
Ryan Giggs has admitted in court that he is a serial love cheat, lying to every partner he has had and that he cannot resist attractive women.
It comes amid his trial where he has been charged with coercive control and assault against his former partner Kate Greville. There is also a further charge of assault against her 26-year-old sister Emma.
The former Manchester United player denies the charges but has admitted that he is a womaniser after taking the stand on Tuesday afternoon. Giggs admitted that there had been a “tussle” over his phone after a night out on November 1, 2020.
Chris Daw QC, defending, introduced Giggs by saying: “You have a reputation for infidelity, what the newspapers call a love cheat?” “Yes,” Giggs replied.
“Is that justified?” Mr Daw asked. Giggs replied: “Yes.” Mr Daw said: “You’ve had relationships with many women, have you managed to be faithful to any of them?”
Giggs said: “No.” Mr Daw said: “If a woman shows interest in you are you able to resist?” Giggs said: “No.”
The former Wales manager has denied the charges against him, though he admits he might have accidentally caught his ex-girlfriend during a “scuffle”.

“I may have caught her and her sister during the scuffle but at no time was there any intent to harm either of them,” he said in his first prepared statement to the court, read out on Tuesday.
“We had been having an argument at the time and I accept I should not have done this but I was emotional, angry and upset.
“I was going to ring the police to ask them to attend to remove Kate as she would still not go. She grabbed me by the hand and a scuffle broke out. My hand was grabbed, it was still bleeding, and her sister was in close proximity.”

When asked about when he first met Mr Greville, Giggs said: “We got on really well right from the beginning, we seemed to share the same interests. We just got on right from the beginning.”
Mr Daw asked: “Did you know she was married?” Giggs said: “Yes I did.” Mr Daw then followed up with: “Did she know you were married?” Giggs again said: “Yes she did.” And Mr Daw then added: “Did you flirt with her?” To which Giggs replied: “After the first few times of meeting her I started flirting with her.”
The trial continues.
