Strictly scrum dancing

RUGBY star Gavin Henson is planning to get over his split from Charlotte Church by strutting his stuff on Strictly Come Dancing.

The Welsh ace - who broke up with the singer, 24, in May - is set to join Good Life actress Felicity Kendal and political battleaxe Ann Widdecombe.

And The Sun can reveal that this year stars will be on "pay-as-you-dance" contracts.

BBC bosses scrapped the £50,000-a-head flat fee for the show, starting in September.

A source said: "The longer you stay in, the more you get.

"If you're voted off in the first week you'll probably end up with £10,000. If you make the final it's ten times that."

Gav, 28, is being tipped to win with his athletic build. He confessed recently: "I can't lie, I really like Strictly."

Ann, 62, admits she may be lined up as a comedy figure like John Sergeant in 2008. She said: "If he can galumph around the floor, I can too."
