Ryan Giggs brother says the football star can end their seven-year feud over his affair with his wife by picking up the phone.
Rhodri Giggs, 41, said he has not spoken to his brother Ryan since the explosive revelations about the ex-Man United star's affair with Rhodri's wife Natasha surfaced in 2011.
Ryan, 45, apologised weeks later, saying he 'wasn't thinking' but the father-of-three said despite the apology, he has not spoken to his brother in seven years.
He told the Daily Star: 'It was a bit of a struggle at first, but he was over in Spain, when he came back we chatted. We didn't go into detail to be honest, just 'obviously he wasn't thinking', blah, blah blah.

Ryan Giggs apologised to his brother for the eight-year affair with his wife Natasha, but hasns't spoken to him since 2011
'He said all the right things, but it was a matter of action and it was all words.
'I accepted (his apology) on the basis of following through what you are going to say, do it, don't just say it, it's easy to say things. But he was too big to do that, it's on him, not me.'
Rhodri and Natasha later divorced in 2013, but they have stayed amicable for the sake of their 12-year-old son.
But Rhodri is concerned the rift has affected other elements of his family life, calling it a 'difficult time.'
When asked if he would pick up the phone if his brother called, the father-of-three, who is now an HGV driver said: 'It's not me asking him to do that. But if he did, get on with it, it may not work out, it may do.'

As well as his HGV job the 41-year-old is also doing some football coaching and is a loyalty ambassador for a new campaign by bookmaker Paddy Power.
The affair was first revealed in June 2011 when Rhodri's wife Natasha admitted an eight-year affair with the former star winger.
She decided to go public in 2011 after Ryan Giggs' controversial attempt to place a gagging order on Big Brother star Imogen Thomas after their six-month affair ended.
He spent £150,000 getting a High Court injunction against her.
However, his attempt to silence her fell apart after a sustained Twitter campaign that resulted in an MP naming him in parliament.
In January 2012, Natasha went on to Celebrity Big Brother, where she openly talked about the affair to her fellow housemates.
Natasha originally left Rhodri but the two later unsuccessfully tried to reconcile, and they divorced in 2013.
