Rugby star Gavin Henson has bought his girlfriend, Charlotte Church, a puppy for her 21st birthday.

The terrier, named Frankie, is the fourth dog to be owned by the couple.

Church's mother, Maria, told the Mirror, "Gavin's already bought her cars and a grand piano, so none of us knew what to expect. Charl was so excited."

According to the newspaper the singer enjoyed a "low-key celebration" of pizza and champagne at her grandmother's home to celebrate her birthday.

Her mother told Reveal, "We were planning a meal at an Italian restaurant but settled for pizza. It was a lovely night."
