Privacy row footballer Giggs hit by second affair claim

The News of the World splashed yesterday on claims of a second exta-marital affair involving privacy-row footballer Ryan Giggs.
And it reported that Natasha, the wife of his brother Rhodri, only went public with the claims of her affair after reading reports which Giggs failed to suppress of his relationship with former Miss Wales Imogen Thomas.
