CHARLOTTE Church is still at the centre of the showbiz world – popping up on The Masked Singer and in an explosive interview on tonight’s Life Stories.

But the same couldn’t be said for her ex Gavin Henson, who has swapped the spotlight for running a community pub in Wales.

These days the rugby ace has a beard – and his own pub

The former Wales rugby international runs his local The Fox in the Vale of Glamorgan with wife Sarah.

Customers are used to seeing the star, who had grown a bushy beard, in the bar of the fancy gastro-boozer.

It’s a big turnabout for the sportsman, who was once reported to have been barred from most of Cardiff‘s bars and pubs after a wild night out.

Visitors to The Fox report he’s all too happy to pose for photos in a series of reviews on Tripadvisor.

One wrote: “The owner – Gavin Henson was working the same day and didn’t hesitate when I asked him for a photo. Genuinely lovely guy, he even thanked us for our visit!”

Another raved: “Gavin Henson is one in a million he was 100-percent on a rugby pitch and he’s 100-percent with his pub.”

Charlotte and Gavin dated in 2005, getting engaged five years later. They share two children – Ruby, 14, and Dexter, 13.

They separated in 2010, six weeks after getting engaged.

Last year Charlotte revealed she had given birth to a third child with husband Jonathan Powell.

She is appearing on Kate Garraway’s Life Stories tonight after being revealed as Mushroom on The Masked Singer.

The star, 35, made it all the way to the final but came second to Panda – who was unmasked as Natalie Imbruglia.
