LIVE Ryan Giggs trial enters second week after 999 calls of alleged attack heard - latest updates

The trial into ex-Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs continues into its sixth day today (Monday).

Mr Giggs' ex-girlfriend, Kate Greville, alleges he attacked her at his home in Swinton after they had an argument at the Stock Exchange hotel.

Mr Giggs denies assaulting Ms Greville, and has also pleaded not guilty to assaulting her sister Emma in the same incident. He also denies behaving in a controlling and coercive manner towards Kate Greville between August 2017 and November 2020.

Manchester Crown Court has heard that the couple had an argument at the Manchester city centre hotel after Ms Greville told Mr Giggs that a man had asked her for a drink. Ms Greville claims that she had previously found evidence of Mr Giggs alleged infidelity with eight women.
