He is also charged with assaulting her sister Emma, 26, on the same night.

He was arrested at his £1.7million mansion in Worsley, Gtr Manchester, on November 1, 2020.

The jury went out to begin considering its verdict on Tuesday.

Yesterday Judge Hilary Manley told the 11 remaining jurors at Manchester crown court: “One of your number has phoned to say they are unwell and cannot attend today.

“It is hoped they will be here tomorrow.”

The case was adjourned until 10am today.

Giggs’s trial was scheduled for January but was delayed for eight months owing to a Covid backlog.
