Imogen Thomas looking upset . . . . as Ryan Giggs hangs out with his Team, Man United for match ahead of Barcelona

The strain of the continuing furore over her alleged affair with footballer Ryan Giggs appears to be getting to Imogen Thomas.

The former Big Brother contestant was pictured looking strained as she arrived at her London home today.

Meanwhile, Giggs spent some down time with his Manchester United team mates on a train to London as they prepare for Saturday’s match against Barcelona.

While a stony-faced Imogen walked through the rain-sodden streets of London in weather-inappropriate bright maxi dress and sandals, the man who slapped her with a gagging order was arriving in town.

Giggs, 37, looked relaxed as he snacked on Haribo sweets and chatted to his team mates Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville in their First Class carriage.

The long-serving footballer was greeted by a slew of photographers as the team arrived at the five star Landmark hotel in Marylebone.

Yesterday Giggs’ wife Stacey vowed to stick by her husband despite the revelations of his alleged affair with Miss Thomas.

According to reports, Stacey, 32, was determined that Ryan was not distracted ahead of Saturday night’s UEFA Champions League final.

A source told the paper: ’Stacey knows this could well be his last big European night and wants him to do himself proud.’

Giggs’s wife has told the left winger to ’go out there and play the game of your life’ ahead of Manchester United’s Champions League final against Barcelona, according to the Daily Mirror.

The player has admitted he was a ’fool’ and wishes it had never happened and he is relieved that his wife is standing by him.

Giggs was officially named after Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming used Parliamentary privilege to identify him.

Another source said: ’Ryan loves Stacey and he hates the fact he has upset her. He said it was a moment of madness that spiralled out of control.

’But he doesn’t regret taking out the injunction because, at the end of the day, he did it to protect the things most dear to him - his children.’

On Sunday she was pictured pitchside at Old Trafford for a family event to celebrate Man Utd winning the Premier League.

However, days later she was spotted leaving the house without her wedding ring following a blazing row between the couple.
