Rugby star suspended by club after 'incident on flight'

Wales rugby star Gavin Henson has been suspended by his club following an incident on a plane.

Henson, 30, who joined Cardiff Blues in October last year, was suspended after an incident on a flight from Glasgow back to the Welsh capital last night.

Airline said it was carrying out its own investigation.

Henson was a wing replacement in their 31-3 defeat by Glasgow on Friday night.

He signed for Cardiff Blues in October on an eight-month contract and they became his fourth club in the space of 12 months after brief spells with Saracens and Toulon in the wake of his departure from the Ospreys.

At the time, he said: "I've been saying I wanted to play back in Wales and I'm glad of the opportunity that Cardiff Blues have given me.

"I just want to do everything I can to make them happy and enjoy my rugby. I'm glad I've signed here."

Henson, who has 33 caps to his name, toured New Zealand with the British Lions in 2005.

Henson is also well known outside of rugby after a long-term relationship with singer Charlotte Church, in which they had two children together. They split two years ago.

He has also appeared on reality TV shows 71 Degrees North, Strictly Come Dancing and The Bachelor.
