Gavin Henson has been sacked by Cardiff Blues for his drunken behaviour on a flight over the weekend.
Henson, who has said that he is "truly embarrassed" over his antics while flying from Glasgow to Cardiff on Saturday morning, was dismissed with immediate effect after meeting with the rugby club's board this morning.

 

Cardiff Blues CEO Richard Holland said in a statement: "The Cardiff Blues management have discussed the matter at length but have acted swiftly since the incident occurred on Saturday morning.
"Gavin admitted himself that his behaviour was totally unacceptable and the immediate termination of his contract sends out a clear message that behaviour like that will not be tolerated at the Blues.
"We have a duty to our supporters and sponsors to protect the good name of Cardiff Blues and those associated with our brand."
It concluded: "Gavin Henson is obviously a talented rugby player and it's unfortunate that his career at the Blues has ended this way. However, we would like to thank him for his service and wish him the best of luck with his future career."
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old Wales rugby international has also been banned by Flybe for six months, after the airline conducted its own investigation into The Bachelor star's on-flight antics.
"The safety of our passengers and staff is Flybe's number one priority and as such the airline has a zero tolerance attitude to unruly behaviour on board our aircraft," a spokesperson said. "We are grateful for Mr Henson's apology following Saturday's flight from Glasgow to Cardiff.
"However, in line with company policy, we have written to him, informing him that he will be banned from Flybe services for a period of six months."
Henson, who released a statement via his management this morning, had said that he was willing to "learn" from his "inexcusable" mistake, and remained "fully focused and committed to Cardiff Blues".

I've never liked his fake tanned boot of a face.

 

What happened on the flight?  

 

 

 

he was p*ssed Cinds and started throwing ice cubes at passengers, allegedly 

Drunk on a plane.....I have never in my whole life heard anything so outrageous 

 

(that was NOT defending him, because I imagine a rugby team on a plane whether sober or drunk would be a nightmare)

I think he'd been on a bender the night before and this was a morning flight Cinds, the ice cubes didn't go down well with other passengers

Henson was said to have lobbed ice cubes at passengers during a 7am flight to  Cardiff following an all-night bender after a game in Glasgow 

They also complained that he was drunk, loud and abusive.

I was at the Wales v England "friendly" last Summer when Gavin went off injured ,I went Awww because he looked so gutted to be going off (we were right at the front by the players tunnel)and these English guys turned to me and said "you DONT LIKE GAVIN HENSON do you ....hes a wanker"and I said He may be a wanker...but hes our wanker....so leave him alone

 

He has wasted his rugby talent by embracing celebrity and stoopid reality shows

 

We used to jeer him when he came on in his golden boots with his fake tan but he couldnt half play.....but now it looks over for him and thats a shame
