Giggs bruv in hotel fight

MAN United ace Ryan Giggs split up a brawl at his annual star-studded charity do after his brother allegedly punched a guest.

Rhodri Giggs is said to have lashed out at a Londoner who made taunts about United’s 1-0 FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea.

The fight broke out at a black-tie dinner and golf fundraiser at the famous Belfry Hotel, near Birmingham, which is organised by Welsh star Ryan, 33.

An onlooker claimed: “Rhodri punched the bloke in the face and burst his nose. Ryan stepped in to grab his brother and calm the situation down. Then the cops turned up.”

Stars at the function included Ryan’s team-mate Wayne Rooney with fiancée Coleen McLoughlin, Robbie Williams’ pal Jonathan Wilkes and Ex-EastEnder Michael Greco, who used to play Beppe di Marco.

Police were called in the early hours of Monday and Rhodri, 30, was arrested and locked up. He was questioned during the day.

United winger Ryan organises the Belfry party with Hotel Babylon actor Max Beesley. It cost £2,500 for a team of three to play golf. The event raised £180,000 for a scanner appeal at Manchester Children’s Hospital.

The onlooker added: “Several United players were trying to forget about their disastrous FA Cup final and celebrate winning the Premiership. The fight took the shine off a successful day.”

Warwickshire police said: “A 33-year-old man from London was assaulted but did not need hospital treatment. A 30-year-old man was arrested and released on police bail.”
