Natasha Giggs Had Sex With Rhodri’s Best Man Will Mellor? More Ryan Giggs Shag ‘N’ Tells
RYAN Giggs, Natasha Giggs, Rhodri Giggs, Manchester United and Imogen Thomas… How are they all? Let’s see in today’s round-up of Giggsy’s Jiggsys:
The Sun (front page): “RYAN: £250,000 BLOOD MONEY”
“Giggs in bid to keep brother quiet”
If we know about it, hasn’t the bid already failed?
SHAMED Ryan Giggs is trying to gag the brother he betrayed – with £250,000 hush money.
Well, it’s cheaper than hiring Schillings the lawyers to get a super-injunction – allegedly. Although, the Sun claims Schillings is now represting Rhodri.Who’s winning here?
Giggs, 37, will pay up if van driver Rhodri signs an agreement not to make any bombshell revelations.
What about mere bullet-sized revelations?
A pal said: “The last thing Ryan wants is more sex secrets coming out.”
Like the one about the hush money?
A source close to Rhodri said yesterday: “He’ll almost certainly know if there were other girls in his brother’s life.”
Yeah, the man who never knew his wife was, allegedly, shagging his brother knew all about his brother’s sex life… Next!
The source said: “Rhodri is telling people Ryan wants to shut him up. The figure on the table is a quarter of a million. Poor Rhodri feels utterly betrayed by Ryan and doesn’t know what to do for the best…
“Rhodri knows Ryan better than anyone. He knows where all the bodies are buried.”
Daily Mirror (front page): “WHY DID THIS HAPPEN, BABE”
“Ryan’s devastated brother sends plea to cheating wife”
We know this how?
Rhodri, 34, is said to have contacted his wife for the first time since the revelations, telling her: “I can’t believe this has happened.”
But he knows where “all the bodies are buried”? Maybe he can’t believe it because it’s not true – Giggs never shagged Natasha?
According to a friend of Natasha, 28, he sent her an emotional text saying he was missing his family.
Go on:
A family source said: “When Rhodri found out, he binned the pictures from their big day. Who can blame him?”
Not the Sun, which features photos from the Las Vegas wedding.
Daily Star (front page): “GIGGS’ LOVER IN 3-WAY SEX SHOCK”
Yeah, only 3-ways. Shocks of shocks!
THE actor helping Rhodri Giggs over his wife’s affair has bedded her too, we can reveal.
Which actor?
Two Pints Of Lager star Will Mellor, 35, was best man when Rhodri and Natasha wed last year… Will told ITV1’s Daybreak that Rhodri was having an “horrendous time” after his world was “tipped upside down in one night”. But what Will did not mention was that he too has had a fling with Natasha.
We know this how?
According to former college pals, Natasha, now 28, burst into the canteen bragging she had slept with the actor, who was then best known for his role in Hollyoaks.
Cure those tabloid super-injunctions that make sources anonymous.
… “She was telling everybody she’d slept with Will and how gorgeous she thought he was.”
When?
“I was staggered all those years on when I saw he was best man at her wedding.”
When?!
Natasha boasted of a fling with Will when she was a student at Eccles College in Manchester, four years before she met the Giggs brothers? Is that the allegation?
Single Natasha Lever (as was) “shagged” single Will Mellor four years before she even met Rhodri and Ryan Giggs?

Ryan Giggs’ Women: Lorraine Lever, Natasha Giggs And Pregnancy Sex (Photos)
FIRST Natasha Giggs, TV’s Natasha Lever, stepped forward to tell us that she’d been shagging her married brother-in-law Ryan Giggs. Now we learn that the Manchester United player “flirted” with Natasha’s mum, the lovely Lorraine Lever. (Where now Imogen Thomas?)
The Mirror announces on its front page:
“GIGGS TRIED TO SEDUCE LOVER’S MOTHER”
As ever with tabloid stories of Giggs’ alleged cheating on his wife, Stacey Cooke, the sources are unnamed. The Mirror might hate super-injunctions, but it does so love an unnamed source. It tells us:
A source close to 34-year-old Rhodri said: “It was a great source of mither amongst the Giggs’. Some of the family felt Ryan was getting a bit too close for comfort to Lorraine and words were exchanged. Certain people accused Ryan of flirting with her whenever they were together and things eventually came to a head.”
He shagged her over the Christmas turkey?
“Ryan laughed it off, saying they were getting the wrong end of the stick, but things were heated.”
He shagged the turkey?

Free London Olympics Tickets With Pringles Crisps – The Olympic Junk Food
KAREN writes on the search for London Olympics 2012 tickets.
I’VE been reading that about a million people have missed out on Olympic tickets.
Yet last night I saw a Proctor & Gamble advert about winning tickets by buying their products. I’ve had a look at their website this morning and it says:
“As people across Britain check their bank accounts to see if they have a ticket to the London 2012 Olympic Games, Official Partner to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), P&G has announced it is giving away 90% of its ticket allocation to the public to demonstrate its commitment to supporting mums and families.”

Jodie Kidd And Prince Harry’s Polo Kiss Off: Photos
IN our quest for Alternative Olympic Sports, we went to see two polo matches in two days.
First we went to the MINT Polo in the Park. The “park” is not as egalitarian as it seems, referring not to Dollis Hill’s Gladstone Park nor Liverpool’s Princes Park but to the snooty Hurlingham Park. The highlight was spotting people in the crowd (we didn’t see many), and seeing Jodie Kidd and her boyfriend, Argentinian polo player Andrea Vianini, share a kiss.
The difference in their heights – he is a few hands shorter than her – made us wonder if Andrea (girl’s name) gets into the mood by riding Jodie about their lounge while wielding a largish ladle.

Video: Nathasa Giggs Pushes The Button As Sister Drinks With David Beckham
NATASHA Giggs is on the telly. The woman who claims to have slept with her brother-in-law Ryan Giggs, is not on Jeremy Kyle‘s show for a lie detector test (yet) – she’s on ITV’s Push The Button, the gameshow hosted by Ant ‘n’ Dec. Sister Kerrie says she once had a drink of water with David Beckham.
It was back in February that Natasha Lever confided in Saturday night telly watchers how she fancied Liam Gallagher. She liked the Oasis star’s “Manc swagger” and big eyebrows.

Wayne Rooney’s New Hair Transplant: Photos
WAYNE Rooney has tweeted a photo of his new post-transplant head. We had expected him to look just like Ryan Giggs, a man whose looks meant he could, allegedly, shag his sister- in-law, one Natasha Giggs, in the same Lowry Hotel where Rooney entertained Jennifer Thompson and never be spotted.

Ryan Giggs’ Woman (Alleged) In Photos: Natasha Giggs To Imogen Thomas
SUCH is the rivalry between the Sun and its Sunday sister the News of the World, that the Sun is the only tabloid not to lead with news that Ryan Giggs is accused of having an affair with his sister-in-law, the fragrant Natasha Giggs. You can read the details here. And you can read Imogen Thomas tweeting:
“I just wanna curl up and die today.”

Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs Had ‘Sex’ With Sister-In Law Natasha: Imogen Thomas Might Weep
RYAN Giggs had an eight-year-affair with his brother’s wife, one Natasha Giggs? The News of The World makes the claim on its front page.
If true, this is hard luck on Imogen Thomas, who was the only woman other than Giggs’ wife who had shagged the married family man. Now, we learn that Imogen is, allegedly, no longer unique. And – more cruelly – she wasn’t even the first. That’s important. As any Manchester United fan will attest, no-one remembers who came second.

Epsom Derby 2011 Photos: Duchess Of Cambridge’s Works The Piggy Poo Hat
DERBY Day at Epsom Downs Racecourse. A chance, then, to see the horse and those horsey types braying a baying for the cash. Queen Elizabeth II was resplendent in pinks. But was she upstaged by the Duchess of Cambridge (aka Kate Middleton) and her piggy poo-style hat , the ubiquitous Tamara Eccelstone wearing her breasts as a pendant, Princess Beatrice and her panto sister Eugenie, and Chantelle Houghton, a woman who was piped into her dress and forgot to say “when”..?

Imogen Thomas And Jermain Defoe In Denial: The Spurs Theory
IS Imogen Thomas of Ryan Giggs repute (and we knew about the alleged affair ages ago – just as Chelsea White, allegedly) grabbling with Spurs pocket-sized dynamo Jermain Defoe? We thought she said she was. Now, we read that she isn’t. But given the PR-driven nonsense, Thomas and Defoe seem well suited. As he says of his time at Spurs – interrupted by being sold to and then bought from Portsmouth:
“Not once in six years have I asked to leave Tottenham” – Jermain Defoe on Sky Sports, May, 2011
“It was like when I decided to leave and went to Portsmouth because I got to a situation where I thought: ‘I’m not sitting on the bench’” – Jermain Defoe, March, 2011

Sepp Blatter Accused Of Turning FIFA Into Premier League Clone
SEPP Blatter, the FIFA head man accused of presiding over a greedy, self-serving, money-driven organisation that seeks to own football and milk the fans – you know, like the Premier League – writes all his own scripts. As such, he can expect a Bafta to add to his long, long, long, long list of achievements in the face of obsequiousness.
Here is the Blatter-ism Of The Day:
“I believe that the decision which we took for the World Cup 2022 was done exactly in the same pattern and environment as we have made on the World Cup 2018.”

Alternative Olympic Sports: Cheese-Rolling On Coopers Hill With British Legend Chris Anderson
IN Anorak’s occasional look at the Alternative Olympic Sports, we salute Chris Anderson, 23, from Brockworth, who has won all three races in the Cheese Rolling on Coopers Hill, Gloucestershire . The official event was cancelled. But Chris has no truck with the Federation of Cheese Rollers, the IOC, Fifa and those arcane and mysterious systems of rules and rites – he just wants to throw himself down a steep hill in pursuit of a round hard cheese. He is the sporting purist. Anorak also salutes Wolverhampton’s Jo Guest who at just 14 won the women’s race…

Sure FIFA Is A Stinking Bed Of Corruption But Where’s The Evidence?
HATS off to Mohamed bin Hammam who has bravely, selfishly, and, dare it go unsaid, honourably, withdrawn from the FIFA presidential race moments before the election. It thus follows that in a field on one, noble Sepp Blatter will be re-elected as the FIFA president.
He will be the head of a grandiose body that promises:
For the Game. For the World.
The world is a place rich in natural beauty and cultural diversity, but also one where many are still deprived of their basic rights. FIFA now has an even greater responsibility to reach out and touch the world, using football as a symbol of hope and integration.

Champions League Final Photos: Lionel Messi, 39,000 Steps And Pique’s Flower Arranging
LIONEL Messi is the wonder who won the Champions League for Barcelona. He then joined the lads in a game of ring a ring o’ roses around the Wembley centre circle. This was after the team had climbed the fabled 39,000 steps to collect the cup – a cup which Gerard Pique caressed and surveyed as though he was about to stick some flowers in it and get down to the serious business of arranging the ribbons…

Champions League Final Photos: Let’s All Cheer Man United And Hate Barcelona
THE Champions League Final – the pinnacle of club football, where the richest club wins and the money men dance. Oh, cyncial much. Well, granted, the cup is still dusted in magic. But get a load of Barcelona, with their “more than a club” bilge rammed down your throat. It’s so irksome. The club that plays great football also plays to get an opponent sent off. Barcelona is not more than a club. It is a club sponsored by the Qatar Foundation – as in Qatar, the country staging the corrupt 2022 World Cup in temperatures your oven cannot reach – a place blessed with a football infrastructure slighly less advanced than a Surrey five-a-side youth Cup. Is it ok to hate Barcelona. Yes, feel free. They are the most cynical outfit in world football…

Fifa, Nazis, Corruption And How Money Always Wins
FIFA is in the mire. Almost six months down the line following Fifa’s firm kick in the goolies to English World Cup aspirations – and the whole rotten House of Cards seems to be getting more than very shaky.
