One more chance: Stacey Giggs says she WILL stay with Ryan during their make-or-break Majorcan holiday

By Daily Mail Reporter


Sticking together: Stacey Giggs is reported to have said she will forgive Ryan Giggs despite his affairs


Ryan Giggs' wife Stacey has said she will stay with the footballer, despite all the recent revelations over his affair with her sister-in-law Natasha Giggs.

Stacey, 32, is reported to have made the decision during a family holiday to Majorca, where the couple have been staying in a luxury secluded villa and having crisis talks in a last-ditch bid to save their marriage.

And she has told Ryan, 37 - who also had a fling with glamour model Imogen Thomas - that this is his 'last chance'.


'She can't face life without him,' a source told the News Of The World.

'She has had to search deep to find forgiveness for Ryan. Luckily for him, she is very strong.

'She believes in marriage and wants it to work. She has not given him an easy ride and he needs to prove to her that he will never cheat on her again.

'Ryan knows he is on his very last chance.'

The family were in Majorca when the Manchester United star's eight-year affair with Natasha was revealed - along with the news that she had aborted his baby two weeks before her wedding to his brother Rhodri.

The news of his fling with Imogen Thomas had already broken by this point, when he was named in the House of Commons as having had an affair with her despite taking out a gagging order.

And although the couple have stuck together, the strain on their faces was all too obvious when they were spotted out in Majorca together over the weekend - while pictures in the News Of The World showed Stacey without her wedding ring.

'Stacey has forgiven Ryan but it is hardly a surprise there aren't any public displays of affection,' a source close to the pair said.

'The fact they have been together for the last few weeks says it all. If Stacey didn't want to be with him she wouldn't have stayed in the villa.'

The friend added that it had been 'the worst time of Stacey's life' but they were hoping that the holiday had gone some way to helping them get their marriage back on track.

'She was devastated when she found out Ryan had tried to cover up his affair with Imogen and we all noticed she had taken off her wedding ring. And to hear he'd been cheating on her with Natasha under her very nose was almost too much.

"But after the last few weeks in the villa with Ryan she has decided to listen to what he has to say,' the insider added.

'She has been under so much pressure that she has decided the only way to deal with it is to make a decision on her future and stick with it.'

Natasha Giggs, however, has not been so lucky, being served divorce papers by husband Rhodri since the scandal broke.

She said this week in Closer Magazine that she had been 'devastated' since news of her affair with Ryan was revealed.

Speaking out: Natasha, who returned to her marital home last week for the first time since news of her affair broke, has said what she did was 'gutless'


My marriage is over and my children no longer have their dad around all the time, which is devastating for both of them,' Natasha said.

'I’ve been gutless and I feel guilty that my actions have blown my family apart.

There’s no excuses – what I did was wrong, I don’t see myself as a victim.'

'I've been gutless and I feel guilty': Natasha Giggs breaks silence over affair with Ryan Giggs

By Daily Mail Reporter


'Gutless and guilty': Natasha Giggs has spoken of her shame at her affair with brother-in-law Ryan Giggs for the first time today


Natasha Giggs says she's been left 'devastated' after her secret affair with her brother-in-law Ryan Giggs was revealed.

Talking for the first time since the scandal broke, she said that her 'fantasy' lifestyle has been brought crashing down to earth.

Breaking her silence after returning from Majorca where she fled with her two sons in the wake of the furore, she told this week's Closer magazine: 'It's really starting to sink in now.'


She added: 'I haven’t been able to sleep since I got back from holiday knowing how my family have been hounded – even the cars in my parents’ street have been smashed up and I’m panicking that something else might happen.

'My marriage is over and my children no longer have their dad around all the time, which is devastating for both of them.

'I’ve been gutless and I feel guilty that my actions have blown my family apart. There’s no excuses – what I did was wrong, I don’t see myself as a victim.'

Natasha conducted an intense eight-year relationship with Ryan, 37, even falling pregnant by him and aborting his child just two weeks before her wedding to Rhodri last summer.

He is said to have filed divorce papers on his wife at the weekend.

Not a victim: Natasha, seen here arriving back at the marital home near Manchester last week, says she takes responsibility for what has happened


The pair first met in a nightclub in Manchester in March 2003 and Natasha spent the night with him while his then pregnant fiancée Stacey – now his wife of three and a half years – was at home.

Despite the fact that Natasha, 28, started dating Ryan’s brother Rhodri, 34, just two months later, the pair resumed their affair after a year, conducting illicit liaisons in hotel rooms and vacant properties she had access to through her job as an estate agent.

Despite moving in with Rhodri after just 18 months of dating, Natasha admits that she was still 'mesmerised' by Ryan and shamelessly pursued an affair with him to escape the banal aspects of her ordinary life.

Natasha happily admits: 'The affair kept going because I was bored and it was so exciting. I’d have my mundane life at home – the cooking, washing and ironing – but know that I had my own special relationship with this celebrity footballer adored by millions.

'A lot of people wanted to be with him and having him to myself was a thrill,” she adds. 'I’d drop everything for him in a flash because I was emotionally attached to him. For him, it was just sex.

'I used to bicker about petty things with Rhodri and then think at the back of my mind: "I don’t really care because I’m off to see Ryan later."

'I learnt to live with the guilt and I got very good at lying. I was leading a double life. I do think it’s possible to have feelings for two people at the same time.'

Smiling through: Rhodri pictured at his home last week


She adds: 'When I saw Ryan with his family, it was like he was someone else. We never talked about our families when we were together – we kept it all separate.

'I never expected Ryan to leave Stacey for me. If we had had a proper relationship, I doubt it would have worked. It was just a fantasy.'

Natasha admits she only decided to finally lift the lid on their torrid affair when glamour model Imogen Thomas, 28, claimed she’d been sleeping with him for the past six months in April.

Keeping fit: Imogen Thomas was seen going for a run in London yesterday


Natasha – who hasn’t spoken to Ryan since they last slept together on 9 April – says: 'I swallowed all Ryan’s lies when he told me the Imogen rumours were untrue. I felt like a complete mug when I realised I wasn’t the only woman he was cheating with.

'He’s been spineless and arrogant and I wanted to speak out to put an end to the lies. I also knew that my affair with Ryan would never have stopped unless I made it public. I needed to break his hold over me.'

And Natasha concedes that while she’s wracked with remorse over her own family split, she has no feelings of guilt toward Ryan’s wife Stacey and the couple’s two children.

She says defiantly: 'Ryan’s family are his responsibility. I’d be surprised if their marriage lasts. If Stacey stays with him, she’s saying it’s OK to condone that kind of behaviour.

'She obviously really loves him and can’t accept the truth. Ryan likes the security of having a wife and kids but I couldn’t say whether he loved Stacey. I don’t think he’ll ever love anyone as much as he loves himself.'

Despite claiming that her wedding day was the 'happiest day' of her life, Natasha says she’s always had an on/off relationship with Rhodri.

She explains: 'There have been a lot of breaks in my relationship with Rhodri. It has always been love/hate – with Ryan haunting us like a ghost in the background.

'We stayed together for the children which is so sad because knowing that we’ve both cheated on each other makes me think: "Why did we bother?" We’ve wasted so much time being unhappy.

'Rhodri sent me a message saying he still loves me but we can’t make a relationship work now. It would be unfair on both of us. The thought of going through a divorce now is devastating. I need some time on my own.'

And Natasha says she’s hoping to rebuild her shattered life. 'Now I have to concentrate on getting my life back to normal. I know there are huge consequences to what I have done but at least, in finally telling the truth, there is a heavy weight lifted from my shoulders.'

She adds: 'I had a deep infatuation with Ryan but now I just think: "What did I ever see in him?" It’s time to start again with a clean slate.'

'I don't believe it': Ryan Giggs's wife Stacey tells brother-in-law Rhodri his wife Natasha is a liar.... even as claims of a 'THIRD lover' emerge

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Standing by my man: Stacey Giggs is said to be sticking with Ryan despite the claims made by his brother's wife Natasha that she has been having an affair with the footballer since 2003. Giggs is said to have claimed the allegations were 'made up'


Ryan Giggs’s wife will stand by him despite the claims that he had an eight-year affair with his brother’s wife.

The footballer, 37, has denied that he has been having an affair with his brother’s wife and Stacey believes him.

Ryan is said to have told his brother Rhodri that Natasha ‘made up’ the allegations.


A source told The Sun: ‘Ryan tried to tell Rhodri that the whole thing was rubbish and not true. But Rhodri snapped back “I don’t believe a word of what you’re saying to me. You’re just a liar".'

And Rhodri is said to have continued: 'How can anyone believe what you say ever again after all this? Why would Natasha make any of this up?'

The source also said: 'Eventually Stacey grabbed the phone off Ryan and starting shouting: "Look Rhodri, if it's not true, it's just not true. We don't believe Natasha." She then hung up.'

Stacey, 32, is said to believe that Natasha, 28, has been besotted with the Manchester United footballer for many years.

A friend close to Stacey said: ‘Make no bones about it, Stacey believes that Natasha has been trying to steal her husband,’ according to the Daily Star.

Hat-trick? Ryan has denied an affair with Natasha Giggs, the wife of his brother Rhodri, but she claims a third woman called her to say she had also been sleeping with the Manchester United player. Natasha claimed she has been having an eight year affair with Ryan after allegations emerged that he had an affair with Big Brother star Imogen Thomas


‘She’s suspected it for a long time and these events prove it. But she (Natasha) has not succeeded.’

Meanwhile Natasha is said to have spoken to a third woman last week who claimed to have had an affair with Ryan.

Natasha is said to have told friends and Rhodri, 34, that a mystery woman called her and said: ‘You’re not the only one who’s been sleeping with Ryan.’

Giggs was recently named as the high-profile footballer with an injunction protecting his name over allegations that he had an affair with Big Brother star Imogen Thomas.

Giggs's identity was revealed when MP John Hemming named him in Parliament.

Shortly after his identity was revealed Natasha spoke out and claimed to have been involved with the footballer since 2003.

Leaving the marital home: Rhodri, who is said to have branded Ryan a 'liar', was seen leaving his mother's home with actor Will Mellor yesterday

The allegations have raised questions over the paternity of her son, born in August 2006 only two months before Ryan and Stacey's own son.

Stacey and Ryan have flown to Spain but instead of staying at the Marbella Club the couple cancelled their booking and are staying in a private villa.

Meanwhile Imogen has warned women against getting involved with a married man.

In an interview with Heat magazine this week the former Miss Wales pleaded: ‘Don’t get involved with a married man, really don’t.

‘It’s a car crash waiting to happen whether you’re in the public eye or not. You are always going to get hurt. You always are, and if you can control your feelings, get out of it as soon as you can.’

It has also been reported that Ryan is set to become the ‘new Tiger Woods’ as sponsors abandon him over his alleged philandering.

Marketing experts have predicted that the firms which have helped him amass a £34million fortune would react unfavourably to the destruction of his family-man image.

Giggs’s biggest deal, which has earned him £20million, is with the sportswear giant Reebok, but it declined to respond yesterday when asked by the Mail whether it would be standing by him.

Weary Rhodri Giggs emerges from marital home after 'dumping his wife for eight-year affair with brother Ryan'

By James Tozer and Liz Thomas


-'Devastated' Rhodri 'in a bad way' after discovering details of affair
-Manchester United star slept with Natasha Giggs the day after his daughter was born
-'Squeaky clean' footballer continued affair while he was also seeing Big Brother housemate Imogen Thomas

'Devastated': Rhodri Giggs was seen outside his house in Bolton today after apparently splitting from wife Natasha, seen yesterday, following reports of her eight-year affair with his brother Ryan


Ryan Giggs' brother Rhodri has emerged from his marital home after it was claimed he had split from his wife Natasha following claims of her having an affair with his footballer sibling.

Rhodri, 34, looked tired and stressed as he left the property in Bolton alongside close friend Will Mellor. And, significantly, Rhodri's ring finger was bare, with no sign of the wedding band he wore up until recently.

It is believed Rhodri and Mellor spent the afternoon with the Giggs' brothers' mother.

Rhodri is said to be 'devastated' over the reported eight-year relationship, and has now apparently ended his marriage, telling The Sun: 'I was with her on Saturday but I'm not with her now.'


A source told the newspaper: 'He's devastated and can't believe the extent of his humiliation - by both of them.

'Rhodri said, "I know me and Ryan have had our ups and downs but this is the lowest of the low". He has suspicions that something may have gone on between Ryan and Natasha, but he never thought it was to this extent. His head is in a mess.'

The split comes as it was reported in a Sunday newspaper that Natasha, 28, and Manchester United star Ryan had begun their relationship before she began dating his younger sibling Rhodri.

The News of the World claimed Giggs slept with Natasha the day after his eight-year-old daughter was born, and again the day after the arrival of his four-year-old son. The affair was alleged to have continued until April 9.

Weary: Rhodri looked tired and stressed as he left the house with best friend Will Mellor. His wedding ring was also noticeably absent from his left hand

Worn out: Rhodri kept as hidden as possible under the hood of his black sweatshirt


To underline 37-year-old Giggs’s folly in taking out his notorious injunction over an alleged fling with former Big Brother housemate Imogen Thomas, his sister-in-law said it was this which spurred her to break her silence.

‘When I found out he was cheating with Imogen too, I was really hurt,’ she told the paper through a ‘friend’.

‘I know that sounds really strange, but he wasn’t just cheating on Stacey, he was cheating on me too. Our relationship was just about sex to him.’

Rhodri is now said to be ‘in a bad way’, and is being supported by friends, including TV star Will Mellor, at the marital home, a £170,000 terrace townhouse.

Dashing up to Bolton to support his friend, Mellor, who was best man at Rhodri and Natasha's wedding last September, said: 'I'm driving up from London. I just want to be with him and be a friend. He can't be on his own at a time like this.'

Betrayed: Wife Stacey with Ryan Giggs at an awards ceremony earlier this year


Last night Rhodri changed his Facebook profile picture to a defiant quote reading: ‘Isn’t it weird how people talk s*** about you, when the only thing they actually know about you is your name?’

Estate agent Natasha was pictured at a petrol station yesterday before apparently heading abroad with her two young children – after insisting that her account was ‘100 per cent accurate’.

She said she was a single mother when she met Giggs at a Manchester bar in March 2003 while Stacey – then his fiancée – was pregnant with their first child. The pair enjoyed a brief fling but after they broke it off she began seeing Rhodri, who had joined them on a night out, the paper said.

That did not stop Giggs secretly resuming their relationship the following year, it alleged, and even when she became engaged to Rhodri in 2005 and was expecting his child, he continued demanding to see her.

Natasha gave birth in August 2006 and Stacey had her son two months later, but the affair was quickly rekindled, it was claimed. ‘The day after his son was born we met up and had sex,’ the paper quoted Natasha as saying through her friend. ‘Stacey was still in hospital.’

Despite rumours among their friends about the affair, and near-misses when the pair’s respective partners became suspicious of messages on their mobile phones, the couple continued their liaisons.

The paper said a falling-out between the brothers over Giggs supposedly flirting with one of Natasha’s friends meant he pulled out of being best man at her wedding to Rhodri in Las Vegas last summer.

He also failed to turn up at a celebration party in Manchester – instead, fatefully, attending a friend’s birthday event in London where he met Imogen Thomas.

Shortly after his last tryst with Natasha, rumours began to circulate that he was the mystery footballer who had taken out an injunction forbidding discussion of his affair with Miss Thomas.

Natasha texted him to ask if this was true. He reportedly insisted: ‘No way. It’s not me.’

The following month, however, shortly before Twitter users broadcast the truth around the world, she realised he was lying.

In a furious text message she wrote: ‘I know u may not have any loyalties towards me n my feelings, that’s fine… now I no longer have any loyalties to u!

‘Any kind of feelings or respect I may have had for u disappeared when I realized how much u have manipulated me! You’re an idiot!’

Betrayed: Rhodri Giggs pictured on holiday with his wife Natasha

Playing away: Big Brother beauty Imogen Thomas also enjoyed an affair with Giggs


However Giggs allegedly responded: ‘What the **** u going on about? This has been the worst 2 weeks of my life!!!’

Natasha also accused the £80,000-a-week star of being astonishingly tight-fisted, the paper said. He allegedly conducted their liaisons in empty flats she was marketing and left her to pay for rounds of drinks and expensive hotel rooms.

Giggs is said to have left on a make-or-break foreign holiday with his wife and children before yesterday’s allegations appeared. His mother Lynne, who lives a few doors from his £6million mansion in Worsley, Manchester, refused to comment.

Rhodri combines his duties as player-manager of non-league Salford City with a day job delivering lorryloads of paper.

Max Clifford, who is representing both Natasha and Imogen Thomas, said the whole sordid saga would have remained under wraps had Giggs not obtained the gagging order, because Miss Thomas had not wanted it made public.

He added that Miss Thomas was ‘hurt and very upset’.

‘It’s a double-edged sword for her – it is horrible to find out this has been going on, but she does feel vindicated because this shows the kind of man he really is.’

'I just want to curl up and die', tweets Imogen Thomas as Ryan Giggs faces new affair claims

By Daily Mail Reporter


Upset: Imogen Thomas, seen here in London on Saturday, took to Twitter to vent her frustrations over new affair claims surrounding Ryan Giggs


Imogen Thomas took to her Twitter page yesterday to tell fans she wanted to 'curl up and die' as it was reported that former lover Ryan Giggs had also been sleeping with his brother's wife during their affair.

The former Big Brother housemate's relationship with Giggs was only made public earlier this month as the footballer took out a super-injunction to keep the affair private.

But, after finding out Giggs had also been cheating on wife Stacey with his brother Rhodri's wife Natasha, Imogen took to Twitter to vent her anger.

Emotional: Imogen tweeted she just wanted to 'curl up and die'


She wrote: 'I just wanna curl up and die today.'

And Imogen wasn't the only one who was angry over reports she had been cheated on, as Natasha is said to have felt the same way.

Natasha is quoted by the News of the World as telling a 'friend': 'When I found out he was cheating with Imogen too, I was really hurt.

‘I know that sounds really strange, but he wasn’t just cheating on Stacey, he was cheating on me too. Our relationship was just about sex to him.’

Distress: It has been claimed Giggs was sleeping with both Imogen and his brother's wife Natasha (right) at the same time


Max Clifford, who is representing both Natasha and Imogen Thomas, said the whole sordid saga would have remained under wraps had Giggs not obtained the gagging order, because Miss Thomas had not wanted it made public.

He added that Miss Thomas was ‘hurt and very upset’.

‘It’s a double-edged sword for her – it is horrible to find out this has been going on, but she does feel vindicated because this shows the kind of man he really is.’

New claims: Giggs is reported to have cheated on wife Stacey for eight years with Natasha


Meanwhile, Imogen's father came forward over the weekend to brand Giggs a ‘gutless coward’ after failing to clear her name of blackmail allegations.

Charles Thomas, 58, has said that his 28-year-old daughter has never been a ‘planner or a plotter’.

Imogen was portrayed in court as a blackmailer, suggesting that she asked to be paid by Giggs to keep quiet about their alleged affair.

And her father told The Sun: ‘She is definitely, 100 per cent, not a blackmailer.

‘It is wicked of him not to clear her name over the blackmail allegation made in court. His failure to do that makes him a gutless coward in my opinion.’

The new affair claims surrounding Giggs marked a difficult end to the weekend for Imogen, who had made the most of her Saturday night watching Britain's Got Talent before appearing on the ITV2 spin-off show, Britain's Got More Talent.

After chatting to BGMT host Stephen Mulhern, Imogen tweeted: 'BGT was amaze last night. The talent was fabaduppa. LOVED all the judges and all the other guests on the show too.'

Before arriving in a fringed cream mini dress, Imogen was spotted leaving the Stuart Phillips hair salon in Covent Garden after getting a blowdry.

Giggs is now said to have gone on a foreign holiday with wife Stacey and their two children in a bid to repair the damage done to his marriage.

Ryan Giggs accused of '8-year affair with his BROTHER'S wife'

By Daily Mail Reporter


More claims: Ryan Giggs has been accused of having an affair with his brother's wife

Ryan Giggs has found himself hitting headlines once again, this time for an alleged extra-marital affair with his brother’s wife.

A Sunday tabloid has claimed that the Manchester United star embarked on an eight-year relationship with his 28-year-old sister-in-law Natasha.

Following his alleged affair with Big Brother star Imogen Thomas, who was gagged with a super-injunction, now more claims of betrayal have stunned his fans.

The News Of The World today claimed that the multi-millionaire footballer even spent the night with estate agent Natasha last month on April 9.

The tabloid also alleged that Giggs was seeing Natasha behind his wife Stacey’s back while she was pregnant.

The 37-year-old former BBC Sports Personality of the Year is said to have met his brother’s wife in a string of hotels, after first meeting Natasha when she was single in 2003.

A friend of Natasha told the newspaper: ‘I knew it was wrong. It’s the worst possible betrayal. I tried to end it but my relationship with Ryan was like an addiction. Anything he said, I did, I couldn’t say no.’

She continued that it was all on the footballer’s terms and he never told her he loved her.

‘Ryan was never romantic with me. It was all about sex’, the friend said.

Giggs is said to have met Natasha eight-years-ago in Manchester nightclub Sugar Lounge, when she was 20-years-old.

She had apparently recently split from the father of her first child and Giggs was engaged to his now wife Stacey.

Natasha’s friend revealed that he apparently bought her drinks and complimented her appearance before taking her number and allegedly asking her to meet him the following night.

The following night they went to the Living Room bar, where Natasha also met Ryan’s brother Rhodri.

The trio continued onto another club and then dined at a Chinese restaurant for a meal before all heading back to a friend’s house.

The source told the tabloid that this was where Natasha allegedly first slept with Ryan, but afterwards found out that the star had a pregnant girlfriend.

The trio continued onto another club and then dined at a Chinese restaurant for a meal before all heading back to a friend’s house.

The source told the tabloid that this was where Natasha allegedly first slept with Ryan, but afterwards found out that the star had a pregnant girlfriend.

After confronting him about Stacey, Ryan allegedly asked Natasha if he could trust her and claims he didn’t mention his fiancée again.

But Giggs is claimed to have kept in touch with Natasha and regularly meet up with her to have sex.

But in May 2003, Natasha started dating his brother Rhodri and two months later Ryan apparently stopped contacting her.

They are said to have met up at a New Year party at his mother’s house though and Ryan apparently pretended to Stacey that he didn’t know Natasha.

More allegations: Ryan Giggs's alleged six month affair with Imogen Thomas surfaced last month, but she is still gagged by a super-injunction


After that they didn’t see each other for a year but Natasha’s friend claims Ryan contacted her once again to resume the alleged affair in the autumn of 2004.

Natasha’s friend said: ‘I then read that Stacey had kicked him out. And a friend told me that they thought Stacey had found a message on Ryan’s phone. I wondered if it was from me.’

Meanwhile, Rhodri proposed to Natasha in 2005 and Ryan was meant to be his best man.

Natasha fell pregnant to Rhodri later that year, but is claimed to have still slept with Ryan during a charity golf tournament in June 2006, according to the newspaper.

Natasha and Rhodri’s son was born in August 2006, while Stacey gave birth to Ryan’s second child Zach two months later.

In June 2008, rumours of the fling had apparently been spreading around Manchester and Natasha is said to have been confronted by one of Ryan’s ex-girlfriends with the question whether it was true.

But as the alleged affair didn’t come out, Rhodri and Natasha finally wed in 2010, but with another pal Will Mellor stepping in as best man instead of Ryan.

The allegations come after Ryan Gigg’s alleged affair with former Miss Wales Imogen Thomas surfaced last month.

The pair are said to have had a six month fling, which Imogen is still prohibited from discussing due to a super-injunction gagging her.

Imogen Thomas was 'upset and shocked' to learn of new allegations about Ryan Giggs and the footballer's superinjunction looks set to become the worst own goal of his career, Max Clifford said.

Giggs was named in Parliament as the footballer alleged to have had an affair with the Big Brother model after frenzied speculation on the internet, despite a High Court injunction.

Today’s allegations that the Man U star had also carried out an eight year affair with his brother's wife Natasha, are said to have truly upset Thomas.

Natasha only came forward after learning of his alleged relationship with Imogen Thomas, said Mr Clifford.

But Imogen Thomas had no plans to reveal their relationship in the first place, and had Giggs not taken out the injunction it would have remained secret, he said.

He said: ‘I spoke to Imogen this morning and I told her she needs to talk to her legal advisors, because a lot of things were put up in court about her which were very damaging.

‘That's what she's doing and she's going to get back to me and let me know what she wants to do.

‘She was upset and shocked [by today's story] and she had absolutely no idea.

‘The irony of it of course is that what came to light it was as a result of taking out an injunction which named Imogen that led to Natasha realising what had been going on.

‘The superinjunction has not only been incredibly damaging for him, but it has led to what has come out in the News of the World today.

‘You wouldn't say it's the greatest goal he's ever scored, would you? A huge own goal comes to mind, or even two own goals, because if he had kept quiet about Imogen Thomas it would never have come out.

‘Instead it led to his sister in law becoming very angry and upset when she found out about it and that led to what came out today in the News of the World.

‘All the superinjunction has done is turn a bad situation into an absolute nightmare.’

Imogen wrote on her Twitter page this afternoon: ‘I just wanna curl up and die today’.

'Jog on WAG!' Imogen Thomas hits back at Twitter attack from Djibril Cissé's wife

By Andrea Magrath


This means war: Imogen Thomas has hit back at an attack from WAG Jude Cisse, who criticised her actions on Twitter


She's received a hard time in the press and a deluge of abuse from football fans on Twitter.

But so far most WAGs have opted to stay out of the scandal involving Imogen Thomas' affair with married Manchester United player Ryan Giggs.

Now one has spoken out - Jude Cissé has told Miss Thomas over Twitter that she should 'shut up and remained dignified.'


Imogen, in typical form, has not taken the slight lying down. she wrote this morning: 'Dear Mrs Cisse. No body wants to know your opinion. U seem to have a lot of time on ur hands...oh ye! I forgot your a wag!!! Jog on!'

Mrs Cissé, married to Panathinaikos striker Djibril, aired her opinion on the ongoing controversy in a lengthy diatribe on the social networking site.

'Just had a little peek at the online news! Don’t get it,' Jude tweeted, according to the Daily Star.

'How can some girls moan about what the public perception of them are yet still insist on carrying out interviews! Err mm the violins out. U would get a lot more public vote if u shut up & remained dignified!'

Rant: Jude Cissé, married to striker Djibril Cissé, wrote a lengthy diatribe attacking Imogen on Twitter


The WAG protects her tweets from public view, but the rant became public after the paper published them today.

She continued: 'All I’m hearing on the radio is all the infidelity scandals. God, so many people with so many different opinions. What’s your opinion? Want 2 know mine?

'Affairs happen all over the world with every walks of life FACT! To make it public is just wrong.'

'However, I don’t feel sorry for the ones having the affairs especially if the parties involved are aware of the marital status.

Hitting back: The reality star defended herself this morning


'How you can believe it’s more than sex when you only see each other 1 a week & that for only 2hrs at a time in a hotel!

'Why would you want 2 admit 2 the whole world u had an affair? I can only sympathise with the innocent wife & children.'

On Monday a fed-up Imogen wrote on her own page: 'I havent got the energy 2 block the haters. Theres too many. Take a look @ your own lives before you start judging mine. Sad f******!'

But she appeared to cheer up yesterday, after a visit to the Britain's Got Talent set where she rubbed shoulders with Simon Cowell.

Cheeky girl: Imogen Thomas has returned to work – in Manchester United kit promoting Paddy Power’s offer on the Champions League Final. Paddy Power will refund losing bets if United lose the match


Imogen Thomas has cashed in on her affair with Ryan Giggs with a high-profile ad campaign that could ensure it is not just football on his mind on Saturday night.

Given the distractions he has had this week, the Manchester United star will no doubt be pleased to focus his attention on trying to claim a third Champions League winner's medal with his club.

But one bookie has teamed up with the former Big Brother contestant for an eye-catching photoshoot that may mean Giggs has more than Barcelona to be wary of at Wembley.

The ad campaign posters carry the slogan: 'Imogen can't keep quiet about this!'


The Big Brother, star who had an affair with the footballer, took part in the shoot - dressed in a United shirt - with betting website Paddy Power for this Saturday's match. She is believed to have been paid a high five-figure sum for the ad campaign.

The bookie has refused to reveal the details of the campaign that they will be carrying out at the weekend, but it is believed there could be some high-profile trickery, including distracting pitchside displays.

A video filmed during the photoshoot appeared briefly on YouTube stating: 'As Giggs name was mentioned in the House of Commons, Imogen Thomas was on a photoshoot at Paddy Power.'

Revenge: The odds that 'Imogen' will be the first catchphrase to be used by ITV presenters are currently at 25/1. She is pictured right arriving at her lawyer's office.


The video may have proved too cheeky, however, as by the afternoon it disappeared. Another couple of hours later and it had been put up again after 'technical difficulties'

Showing Miss Thomas in various different poses, the video added: 'This photoshoot is the easiest gig she has ever had.'

It's all part of an offer whereby people betting on the match will get their money back if Barcelona wins in 90 minutes at the Champions League final at Wembley.

A Paddy Power spokesman said: 'With such an offer who else could we choose to front our advertising than Imogen Thomas - the most talked about woman in Britain this week.

'We did consider the Middleton sisters - but they were otherwise engaged.'

Special bets have also been put on relating to Giggs specifically with 7/1 odds that he scores and 72 that he is caught offside during the match.

There is also a 'commentary cliché' special for betting on the first phrase from a list to be used by ITV commentators.

Favourite at 3/1 is the mention of '2009' followed by 'Bobby Charlton' - who scored two goals in the Wembley 1968 final - at 8/1. But then there is 'Imogen' at 25/1 and coming in at odds of 40/1 is the phrase 'Giggs has been caught offside'.

Final preparations are made to the pitch at Wembley Stadium for the Champions League Final between Barcelona and Manchester United on Saturday


Darren Haines from the bookmakers declined to say how much Miss Thomas had been paid for the advertising campaign but did say it was a one off.

When asked if there would be mischief made during this weekend's match by the bookies, he said: 'We wouldn't really discuss our promotional campaigns.'

The company has got into hot water in the past over its advertising campaigns. An advert showing a group of disabled people fleeing from an Indian restaurant without paying.

Another - the most complained about advert of 2010 - showed 'blind' footballers using a ball with a bell inside it. When a cat wearing a bell round its neck runs onto the pitch, however, one of the players kicks it over a fence and into a tree.

Man United fans will be hoping Ryan Giggs can maintain his focus on Saturday's Champions League final

Though Giggs got a warm reception from the fans, the strain of his complicated love life was etched clearly on his face on the field at Old Trafford

I’m disappointed in you’: Ryan Giggs’s estranged father breaks 20 year silence on son’s affair (despite walking out on his own family)

By Richard Hartley-parkinson

Despite walking out on his own family 20 years ago, Ryan Giggs's father broke his silence to say how disappointed he is with his son over his affair with Imogen Thomas.

Danny Wilson, 55, spoke out about the relationship - the first time he has spoken publicly about his son after refusing to do so to protect his Manchester united career.

Mr Wilson said: 'Ryan is looked upon as clean living, almost beyond reproach. Now he's shown to have human frailties the same as the rest of us.


'I didn't think Ryan was like that,' he told the Sun. 'He is an iconic footballer who has achieved fantastic things. I had him on a pedestal. I'm immensely proud.

'But I am deeply disappointed at what Ryan has done, particularly as he has a young family. I'm sad for the effect it's going to have on them. His mother will be devastated.'

Following a difficult start to life, Giggs's fortunes were turned around thanks to the support and leadership of his manager, Sir Alex Ferguson

Speaking about his son's affair broke a 20 year silence in which Mr Wilson has never spoken about Giggs


When Mr Wilson, an ex-rugby league star, walked out on his family, Giggs disowned him and adopted his mother's surname.

Although he insists the split was not because of another woman, Mr Wilson was regarded as a womaniser whose career was curtailed by heavy drinking and crime, including a six-month jail stretch for attacking a police officer.

Thankfully for Giggs, Sir Alex became a father figure in his life and gave him direction. He even sees his father, but admits that things will never be the same again.

Mr Wilson, whose parents are from Sierra Leone and is now a security guard, said Giggs should have 'manned up', admitted the affair and apologised for it right from the start.

He also thinks the decision to take out an injunction was a bad one and he was badly advised.

If he had come clean from the beginning, Mr Wilson said, 'no one would be talking about it now. He's made it ten times worse.

'I'd be surprised if Sir Alex Ferguson told him to take out the injunction - it was probably other people around Ryan.'

Speaking two years ago about his relationship with his father, Giggs said: 'Everyone's childhood shapes who they are and what they do, and it was two sides of the story with my dad.

'I didn't like the relationship he had with my mum but there was another side where I looked up to him. My dad was my first hero.

'I think my parent's split may have contributed to that inner steel where I can block things out.

'When I was playing football, I never thought about the arguments between my mum and dad. I get on with my dad but I’m not going to let myself get close to him again because it would hurt my mum and people who mean a lot to me.’
