“I felt like I was losing my mind. I was having panic attacks. It was a horrific time for me. Mentally it was a horrendous time for me. It was not all fun. It doesn’t mean he was being nice to me all the time. At the start of lockdown, it was fine but it got progressively worse.”

While discussing her ordealin court, Greville admitted that in retrospect, she was ashamed of repeatedly going back to Giggs. However, she admitted that she would often get manipulated into returning to the 48-year-old.

“It was a cycle of abuse that made me feel insecure. I kept going back as he kept promising the world and promising he would change. He can be very convincing, very charming. So I went back again, stupidly, and I am ashamed of that hugely ashamed of it.”
