Gavin Henson, one time fiancee of Charlotte Church and sometime rugby player for Wales has hit the 'ACTIVATE' button on the next stage of his intricate plan for career self-destruction by becoming the bachelor in Channel 5's new show, cunningly entitled "The Bachelor". Speaking about this, Henson said:

"Expect flirting, bitching and heartfelt emotion as the contestants do whatever it takes to impress Gavin," promised the press material from the broadcaster. I really feel the time is right for me to find a girl to hopefully spend the rest of my life with," 

"It can be hard in my situation to meet women and The Bachelor will give me the unique opportunity to go on some incredible dates and spend quality time getting to know amazing women from all over the UK."

Riiiight… because being a wealthy sportsman with abs you could sharpen knives on, with a fairly high profile in the UK obviously means you spend each evening in your pants eating cereal out of the box? Hmmm…

The show is in 10 parts and will see Gav meeting a load of chicks ranging from  "beautiful models to ambitious career women" (ie. some fit ones and some absolute humdingers) who will live together in a communal villa ad sense all day lazily getting off with each other and ironing. Maybe.

Really hope this happens again, I don't know why but Gavin Henson strikes me as the type of guy who would rather eat his own shit than touch another man:

Longest dramatic pause EVER - certainly long enough for Tim Vincent's career to collapse whilst Tom ponders the thought of guaranteed anal.
