Photos, audio recordings and a video emerged on a woman’s Instagram alleging that Greenwood had assaulted her before the account was deleted.

However, the aforementioned images, video and audio recordings have since circulated on other social media platforms.

Greenwood has not responded to any of the allegations at the time of writing.

A spokesperson for the force said in a statement: “Greater Manchester Police is aware of images and videos circulating on social media.

“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.”
