Stacey Giggs will get £10,000 after having designer items stolen from her hotel room

Stacey Giggs is set to get £10,000 compensation from a crazed fan who raided her hotel room and took designer items after she booked in with singer boyfriend Max George.

The ex-wife of footballer Ryan Giggs, 41, had been attending an intimate concert held by Max, 31, back in February at a four star hotel in Manchester when they returned to find her Givenchy bag and its contents missing.

Stacey's bag contained a pricey Rolex watch and an iPad containing personal information, as well as other designer items.

After Glad You Came hitmaker Max posted a CCTV snap of him on social media with the caption "stalker", Michael O'Brien, 41, later handed himself in to police.

He told cops he was a fan of Wanted singer Max and followed the couple back to their hotel room after the gig in the hopes of speaking to him.

He then went on to say that 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.

At Manchester Crown Court, O'Brien faced jail after he pleaded guilty to burglary but he was sentenced to eight months jail suspended for a year.

He will have to pay Stacey £10,000 compensation within 28 days and £510 costs.

Among the stolen items was a Mulberry case, Chanel card holder, Balenciaga purse, Apple air pods, Louis Vuitton diary, two pairs of Rayban glasses and car keys.

In addition, Stacey's driving licence, national insurance card, cheque book, credit card and phone charger were also taken by O'Brien.

O'Brien had no previous offences on his record.
