Church defends high-maintenance boyfriend

Teen soprano Charlotte Church has rushed to the defence of her 'metrosexual' boyfriend Gavin Henson, declaring she loves his high- maintenance appearance after her "rougher" exes.

The singer, 19, and Welsh rugby hero Henson, 23, began dating in March, only weeks after Church ended her one-year relationship with Kyle Johnson.

Henson is often ridiculed by the British tabloids for his meticulously managed spiky haircut and orange fake tan.

But Church says: "I think we've been called that (the Welsh Posh and Becks) because he likes to do his hair and wax his legs.

"I think he just shaves them though - it's so the rugby players' hands slip when they tackle him.

"I've always gone for a rougher type before - but at least I can steal his St Tropez (tanning cream)."
