Gavin Henson heads to Dirty Dancing for inspiration
Wednesday, 22 September 2010
Strictly Come Dancing contestant Gavin Henson seems to be taking his training for the BBC TV programme very seriously.
According to the Sun, the rugby player headed to the Aldwych Theatre last night (September 21st 2010) in order to take in Dirty Dancing - and perhaps pick up a few tips in the process.
He took along his partner on the programme, professional dancer Katya Virshilas, as back-up.
Henson has already found that taking part in Strictly isn't going to be easy. On a BBC video for its website, he is seen musing that he thought picking up all the steps would be something he would be able to do much faster.
Ex-girlfriend Charlotte Church recently told the Sun she expected Henson to find the programme difficult, as he is not a natural dancer.
In June 2010, it was revealed that Dirty Dancing had extended its booking period until at least April 9th 2011.
