Ryan Gigg’s ex wife Stacey is being given £10,000 compensation by a crazed fan who nicked designer items when he raided her hotel room.
Stacey Giggs was staying at four star hotel in Manchester in February with her singer boyfriend Max George who had been performing an intimate gig in the city.
When the former Man United star’s ex and Wanted singer Max got back to the room after the gig they found her Givenchy bag and its contents missing, Mirror Online reports.
After the raid Max posted a CCTV snap of him on social media with the caption “stalker”, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Michael O’Brien, 41, later handed himself in to cops after admitting stealing the bag which contained swanky items.

O’Brien’s haul included a pricey Rolex watch and an iPad containing personal information, plus other designer items.
He told cops he was a fan of Max and followed the couple back to their hotel room after the gig in the hope of speaking to him.
He said he ”lost his bottle” and went to the bar to get drunk before burgling the pair’s room instead to grab ”souvenirs” when he saw them go out again.

In a statement to police, mother-of-two Stacey said: “The incident has left me shaken and worried for my safety and that of my children.
“Some of the property had very personal information on it which I only want myself to know.”
The items were not recovered by cops.
O’Brien, who has no previous offences on his record, escaped jail after he pleaded guilty to burglary and was sentenced to eight months in jail suspended for a year.
He was ordered to pay Stacey £10,000 compensation within 28 days and £510 costs.
Among O’Brien’s haul was Mulberry case, Chanel card holder, Balenciaga purse, Apple air pods, Louis Vuitton diary.
He also nicked two pairs of Rayban glasses and car keys.
Also stolen in the raid was Stacey’s driving licence, national insurance card, cheque book, credit card and phone charger.
