Footballing
legend Ryan Giggs was caught 'flirting' with soap star Gemma Atkinson at a
star-studded bash.
The
Manchester United player, 43, was seen getting cosy with the Emmerdale beauty
at the Sports Personality of the Year awards after party in Manchester on
Sunday, according to The Sun.
The
newspaper also says that single Gemma, 32, is a Man U fan and has previously
named Giggs as her favourite ever player.
A
source told them: "Ryan and Gemma was seen getting close, she didn’t leave
his side.
"They’ve
known each other for 10 years so they’re very comfortable in each other’s
company."
Gemma
has previously dated Man U player Cristiano Ronaldo and football journeyman
Marcus Bent.
But
a source close to Gemma told Mirror Celeb that the pair were simply at the
event with the same publicist and that nothing is going on between them.
They
said: "They were just at Sports Personality of the Year with the same publicist.
There is nothing more to this at all."
Back
in May, the Mirror reported that Giggs had split from his wife Stacey after she
found out he'd been 'flirting with waitresses at the restaurant he owns'.
A
source said it was the last straw for Stacey, 37, after her efforts to keep the
marriage going in the wake of her husband's affairs with Imogen Thomas and his
brother’s wife Natasha .
Ryan
reportedly told friends: “It’s over for good”.
It
is believed the couple had parted three months earlier, but kept it a secret
and continued to live in the same house.
Mirror
Celeb has also contacted Giggs' representative for comment.
