Gavin Wants A Girlfriend

Gavin Henson has revealed how Strictly has helped him move on with his life, and now he's ready for a girlfriend.

He told The Sun: "I'd hoped Strictly would distract me from the personal stuff going on - and it did. Time heals and it's taken my mind off Charlotte [Church]. Strictly was great for me. Now it's a whole new chapter in my life. I should have a New Year's Resolution now - try to get a girlfriend. Hopefully my dancing will help me with that. It's all go with rugby and Strictly. But when the show's over it'll be good to start anew in 2011. I think I'll carry on dancing and I'll have time for a girlfriend then. I'm ready to move on. It's been a while now."

Gavin is chuffed to have reached the semi-final: "I'm in complete shock to be still in the competition. The support I must be getting is overwhelming. It's great to be in the semi-final and in the top five dancers left - but I've still got a lot to do to get to the final. I didn't expect Strictly to be this hard. I've got such an appreciation now for the skill involved in dancing. It's just so tough."
