Ryan Giggs subjected his girlfriend to a 'litany of physical and psychological abuse' and headbutted her at his £1.7m mansion during a row over his alleged infidelity, a court heard today.
The ex-Manchester United footballer, 48, is accused of using controlling and coercive behaviour against ex-girlfriend Kate Greville, 36, between August 2017 and November 2020.
He is also charged with assaulting and causing her actual bodily harm, and the common assault of her sister, Emma Greville, at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester.
Prosecutor Peter Wright QC told Manchester's Minshull Street Court that Giggs's private life 'involved a litany of abuse of a woman he professed to love'.
