O'Brien, Henson 'flirting like mad on Strictly'

Gavin Henson and Tina O'Brien are apparently "flirting like mad" on Strictly Come Dancing.

The potential romance comes after O'Brien reportedly split from Waterloo Road cameraman Nick Cox, who she had been dating for around three months.

A source told The Sun: "Tina still has affection for Nick but it's over. They weren't dating for that long so it's not getting her down."

Insiders now claim that O'Brien has hit it off with fellow Strictly competitor Henson, who himself split from fiancée Charlotte Church in May.

The source added: "They've been flirting like mad behind the scenes and everyone thinks they'd make a great couple.

"It's no secret that Gavin is gagging for it - he's a red-blooded male after all. Tina is hot so it's no surprise he's interested."

Earlier, it was reported that Henson's professional dance partner Katya Virshilas has banned the rugby star from dating anyone while on the competition.
