Ryan Giggs has denied headbutting his ex-partner after "completely losing his self-control" during an argument.
The former Manchester United footballer returned to the witness box today for a second day of cross-examination from prosecutor Peter Wright.
Prosecutors claim Mr Giggs, 48, headbutted Ms Greville, 38, at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, on 1 November, 2020.
Mr Wright asked Mr Giggs about the prepared statement he gave to police the day after the incident, in which he said a "scuffle" broke out over Ms Greville's phone, and that his head clashed with hers accidentally.
The prosecutor said: "The reality is you headbutted her, didn't you?" Mr Giggs said: "No."
Mr Wright said: "Because in this dispute with her, you had, by that stage, completely lost your self control."
Mr Giggs repeated: "No."
He also denied threatening to headbutt Ms Greville's sister Emma.
The ex-Wales manager told the court he "didn't know" why he had put in his police statement: "On both occasions I was attacked."
He agreed with Mr Wright that it was "an important assertion to be making".
Ryan Giggs was also asked about the line in his statement: "The last thing I would ever want to do is harm her (Ms Greville) emotionally or physically."
Asked by Mr Wright if that was true, Mr Giggs said: "Yes."
Mr Wright said: "Or is it in fact that these are the two things you did intend so far as this woman is concerned?" Mr Giggs replied: "No."
He agreed with Mr Wright that after the "scuffle" he had been "chastising" Emma Greville for calling the police.
Mr Wright said: "You were blaming her for what had happened, weren't you?" Mr Giggs replied: "Yes."
Mr Wright asked: "Why were you blaming Emma?" Mr Giggs said: "I don't know."
Peter Wright put it to Mr Giggs: "It is because you had at this stage lost all sense of reason and you were seeking to turn the narrative of what happened into one in which you were the victim?"
Mr Giggs replied: "No."
The court also heard Peter Wright asking Ryan Giggs why he could be heard saying "all losers" during the 999 call made by Emma Greville.
He said to the former footballer in court: "But there was only one loser here, wasn't there?" Mr Giggs said: "I don't know."
Mr Wright said: "Why would Kate Greville at that moment be a loser?" Mr Giggs said: "I don't know."
Mr Wright asked: "Why would Emma, her sister, be a loser?" Mr Giggs said: "I don't know."
Mr Wright said: "I'm going to suggest it was because you realised what you had done and you were going to be arrested." "No," Mr Giggs replied.
The court heard that Ryan Giggs told police at the house "she is going to say I attacked her" and that Kate Greville's sister Emma "will obviously be on her side".
Re-examining Ryan Giggs, defence barrister Chris Daw played a clip of the 999 call made by Emma Greville after the alleged assault, asking: "Were you at this stage angry and aggressive to Ms Greville or anyone else?"
Mr Giggs said: "No."
Asked what he believed his ex-partner Kate Greville and her sister were going to tell the police, Mr Giggs replied: "That I had headbutted Kate."
Mr Daw said: "And had you done that?" Mr Giggs said: "No."
Mr Daw then asked: "How then did you feel in these circumstances about the police being called and these accusations being made about you?" Mr Giggs said: "Well, just scared."
Asked what he thought might happen, Mr Giggs replied: "I'm not too sure, but it just didn't look good."
Asked what he had meant by saying "we'll be everywhere", Mr Giggs said: "The newspapers and the media."
Ryan Giggs is on trial at Manchester Crown Court where he denies using controlling and coercive behaviour against Kate Greville between August 2017 and November 2020.
He also denies assaulting her, causing actual bodily harm, and the common assault of her younger sister Emma, 26.
