Ex-Manchester United star Ryan Giggs believed his former girlfriend was trying to leave his £1.7million mansion with their cocker spaniel puppy ‘Mac’ on the night he alleged assaulted her, a court today heard.
Giving evidence in his domestic assault trial, the former football star, 48, said he had returned to his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, following a row with ex Kate Greville to find Mac’s cage in the boot of his car.
Giggs, who today told jurors ‘I was his (Mac’s) dad’, said he went into the house and asked Ms Greville and sister Emma, who had been dog sitting at the time, to leave. But an argument broke out after the sisters refused to go without Mac.
Today Giggs told the court how during the incident he and Ms Greville fell to floor after ‘slipping on shopping bags’ as he attempted to grab his phone. Giggs said she kicked him ‘six or seven times’ in the head.
