Church-Henson romance labelled 'rubbish' by rugby bosses
30/10/2005 - 15:34:44Rugby star Gavin Henson had to fight for Welsh singer Charlotte Church in the early days of their romance, as his team captain slammed her as publicity-seeking "rubbish".
Henson was warned to avoid the determined advances of the Crazy Chick singer, but he refused to listen to their concerns.
He says: "Gareth (Wales captain Gareth Thomas) told me: 'You want to steer clear of that rubbish. She might be just out for a bit of cheap publicity.'
"As captain, he had a perfect right to be alarmed. The last thing he probably wanted was for me to go off the rails and for the team to be badly affected. I listened to their advice but I didn't take it."
