Giggs in sister-in-law fling

Manchester - Manchester United star Ryan Giggs has suffered another blow to his reputation with accusations he had an eight-year fling with his brother's wife.

According to the Stuff.co.nz website, The News of the World said the footballer had spent the night with his brother Rhodri's wife, Natasha, as recently as April.

The allegations come on the back of the controversy surrounding the father of two and the use of super-injunctions in Britain.

Giggs was last month outed in British Parliament as the high-profile sportsman who had used gagging orders to stop allegations of an affair with former Miss Wales Imogen Thomas becoming public.

"I knew it was wrong. It's the worst possible betrayal," Natasha told a friend this week according to the Sunday tabloid.

"I tried to end it but my relationship with Ryan was like an addiction. Anything he said, I did, I couldn't say no."

"It is a terrible secret that I have had to keep for too long now," Natasha is reported as saying.

Giggs is said to have met Natasha eight years ago at a Manchester nightclub when the footballer was engaged to his now wife, Stacey.

The following night they went to a bar where she met Ryan's younger brother, Rhodri.

Rhodri and Natasha wed in 2010 with a friend, Will Mellor, stepping in as best man instead of Ryan.
