It's emotional D-Day for Gavin; there are just TWO GIRLS left. It seems hard to believe that one of these girls will be his wife. Gavin has two dates left, and rather than having to make up his mind his has drafted in his family to tell him what to do. God knows what his family think of girls who would go on a reality TV show to meet a boyfriend. This is in no way awkward. Leila is first to meet the family. 'Can you have children?' Gavin's Dad asks Leila, as his Mum and Sister look on appalled. 'Well, we've got to find these things out now,' he retorts, 'Wales needs boys.' The family's meeting with Carianne doesn't ...

It's the penultimate episode of The Bachelor, and only three remain; Layla, April and Carianne (bitch-face). They have flown to the island paradise of St Lucia for more misunderstandings and in-fighting. Let the ENFORCED romance begin! Gavin has had a bit of break from finding a wife to do some rugby training, but now it's back to daily grind of drinking champagne and baring his orange chest. As there are less girls, it means more time alone with Gavin for the remaining three. This in turn means there is more chance things could go wrong. The first date of the round is with April at an exclusive spa. Unfortunately both Gavin and April are shy, and we can only hope that ...

GAVIN IS DOWN TO HIS FINAL FIVE! One of these girls is going to be Gavin's girlfriend, possibly even his WIFE! This week there will be no luxury dates, and instead Gavin will be travelling the country to meet the families of his possible brides. Two girls will be voted off, and the remaining three will travel to St. Lucia with Gavin. I'll be very surprised if Carianne isn't one of those girls. Gavin has been looking forward to meeting the girl's families. Apparently if you have a good relationship with your parents it makes you a good person, like Gavin. Oh to inhabit the simplistic world of Gavin Henson. Gavin's journey begins in the West Midlands, where he's come to meet Leila ...

Gavin's quest for love rumbles on, engulfing Venice in an orange cloud. There are just SEVEN girls left now, and it's getting harder for our Romeo to chose. Gavin kicks things off by inviting a very nervous April on a romantic lunch/solo date, to a restaurant with plastic chairs. April struggles with her confidence, but Gavin likes that in a girl. Back at the house,the girls speculate that April will have to do something really bad to not be awarded the rose and sent home. Luckily, April doesn't mess up, and wins the rose, and obligatory snog, 'We kissed, it wasn't a full on kiss, I could feel that she was reserved like that, and I respect that,' Gain reveals in ...

After last week's glamour model face-off between Carianne and Morgan, it is evident that this week Gavin will have to summon a wider variety of facial expressions than his usual 'blank contentment.' Perhaps he will employ 'puzzled', or attempt 'angry'. It all started so well, but now there's only nine girls left, and Carianne is exiled in a hotel, crying. Gavin has the sensible idea of arranging a date for Morgan and Carianne, thinking that he will be able to find out which girl is telling the truth about Carianne ALLEGEDLY snogging a member of the production team. There is only one rose. The girls will be making pizza to share at lunch with Gavin. The pizza of awkwardness. After giving ...

With only 9 girls left the competition is hotting up; Gavin remains aloof and impenetrable, like an orange Helm's Deep. This week the girls have been moved to Venice, so we've decided to treat ourselves and watch in HD. I can see every pore in Gavin's sweaty face. Gavin has brought in his agent Matt, and close friend Nils to help him pick three girls to dance with at the masked ball tonight. They grill each girl in turn, their insights involve finding Morgan hot, which Gavin is already aware of. The girls get dressed up in proper frocks, wigs and masks, and Gavin finally gets to show off the skills he learnt when appearing in Strictly Come Dancing. In true ...

It is evident that if Gavin spends any longer on the French Riviera, Ronseal will be bringing out a new shade in his honour. I suspect, however, that he's quite enjoying his current position as the only male in the herd, all the ladies flocking around him, gazing adoring at him, and putting on more and more lip gloss. We're right back into the thick of the action, with 'Gav mail' for Kesha and Carrie. As before, there will be one rose available, and the other girl will go home. The winner gets to spend an evening alone with Gavin. OH NO, but what if Gavin sends Carrie home? RECAP: Carrie is already in love with Gavin, and she often says ...

Ladies, the love child of Zoolander and a 1960s Ken doll walks amongst us, and it is right that we worship him. I speak, of course, of Gavin Henson. It is week three, and Gavin is no closer to finding a soul-mate to clasp against his plastic chest. Time for more pointless dates. There is just time for some stock footage of Gavin doing topless press-ups on the beach, as Carianne and Danielle receive invites to the first date of the episode. Only one of them will be coming back. Tense! 'You're intelligent, you're so smart,' Laura tells Carianne, 'Let him see that side of you.' Yes Carianne, we want to see that side of you. Desperately. They are being taken in a helicopter ...

We're back in the South of France with Gavin Henson, woman's ultimate prize. There are fifteen girls left, and they are moving into a luxury villa on the Mediterranean. The girls will be living side by side as they compete for Gavin. Let the bitching begin. The episode kicks off with eight girls being selected for a date on a luxury catamaran cruise organised by Gavin. (Gavin has not organised this.) Among those left at the villa are Aaleeah, Carrie and Laura, and they have only one topic of conversation, 'I don't like any minute where I'm not with him,' moans Carrie, 'I've fallen pretty deeply already.' 'I know what you mean', Aaleeah replies, 'I've only just met him and I hope he's ...

Blank faced international rugby star Gavin Henson wants to find love. His quest pointlessly kicks off in the French Rivera, where he will display his muscled, orange torso repeatedly to twenty-five young, single girls who are desperate to find perfect, fairytale love. They have no idea who the bachelor they'll be competing for is. Gavin is ready to move on from his five year relationship with Charlotte Church, and what better way to simplify the often messy and awkward business of courtship by letting a Channel 5 production team narrow down the ladies of Great Britain to a more manageable number? Who are these twenty-five single ladies? Apparently they have been selected as part of 'an exhaustive process', which mainly seems ...
