Henson set for TV role

The "will he, won't he" saga surrounding Gavin Henson's future has taken a new twist after he was named in the line-up for a TV show.

Commitments likely to scupper immediate return

The "will he, won't he" saga surrounding Gavin Henson's future took a new twist on Wednesday after the Wales centre was named in the line-up for a reality TV programme. Henson had hinted at ending his 18-month exile to make a bid to play his way into the Wales squad ahead of the World Cup. However Henson seems unlikely to return in the near future after he was confirmed as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing. Wasps and Harlequins had been leading the way to throw Henson a lifeline in the Aviva Premiership despite the 28-year-old having a year left to run on his Ospreys deal. Henson's television and training schedule, though, looks set to scupper any possible contract. Henson's inclusion in the show came on the same day when he was part of the marketing campaign for the new Wales rugby shirts.
