Charlotte Church's partner Gavin Henson questioned by police

18 Feb 2009  

CHARLOTTE CHURCH's rugby star boyfriend GAVIN HENSON has been questioned by police after a disturbance at a Welsh pub on Sunday (15Feb09).
 
Welsh ace Henson was celebrating a recent win against England's rugby team with fellow players Lee Byrne, Mike Phillips and Andy Powell when authorities were alerted to his "particularly rowdy" behaviour.
 
Witnesses claim Henson first angered patrons at the Queen's Vault pub in Cardiff, Wales, by "jumping up on the pool table and taking people’s cues off them", prompting teammate Phillips to pick up a microphone to apologise to other revellers.
 
A source tells the South Wales Echo: "I thought Gavin Henson’s behaviour was a disgrace. He was abusive to people in the pub and was fooling around with pool balls. Lee Byrne was good as gold and took Henson out of the pub."
 
The pub's manager has confirmed Phillips took to the stage to excuse his teammate's behaviour.
 
After Henson was escorted out of the pub, he and Byrne reunited with their two pals on the street - only to be confronted by police, who reprimanded the men.
 
A spokesman for South Wales Police said: “Officers from South Wales Police were called to St Mary Street, Cardiff, at around 9.15pm on Sunday to reports of a disturbance."
 
The matter has now been passed on to the Welsh Rugby Union for investigation.
