Star spotting in Cham!

featured in News & reviews Author Ellie Mahoney, Chamonix Editor Updated

Forget Aspen and Klosters, when the stars want to let their hair down and get out on the piste, they know there's only one place to come! Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson have been spotted out and about in town this week; Charl proving she still has the “Voice of and Angel” with a spot of Karaoke in Le Privilege and Gavin apparently having a “Face like Thunder” for most of the evening. Read the full account below from celebrity gossip specialists - The Sun:

“BOOZY Charlotte Church drank her rugby star boyfriend under the table in an astonishing six-hour bender at a ski resort. The Voice of an Angel singer downed ten shots of sambuca and six vodka Red Bulls, yet was STILL there to prop up six-footer Gavin Henson as he teetered towards an end-of-night cab. Charlotte, 20, also belted out a string of karaoke numbers in a bar, ran around the alpine town in just her socks, and had THREE blazing rows with Gavin, once threatening to smear pizza over his face.

The party girl and her perma-tanned Wales international fella went out on the piste while holidaying with four pals from Cardiff in Chamonix-Mt-Blanc, France. They kicked off their evening at the Chambre Neuf boozer, where Charlotte tottered in wearing a pair of strappy gold stilettos. After four shots of sambuca she whipped off her shoes, declaring: “It's "bleeping" icy out there. I can't wear these shoes. “Besides, aren't I meant to be an angel? I'll float around like an angel in my tights.” True to her word, she dispensed with her shoes for the rest of the evening, walking through the alpine snow in stockinged feet.

Next stop was the glitzy Tigre Tigre bar, where Charlotte and 24-year-old Gav downed a further three shots and a vodka and Red Bull each. Charlotte then made a bee-line for Pizza Salsa, where she tucked into a Pepperoni Delight. Flouting her New Year's resolution to stop swearing, she yelled: “The pizza's lush. Why don't you "bleeping" have some Gav?” He replied: “Don't want any. Got cheese on.” She said: “Gav, eat the "bleeping" pizza or I'll rub it all over your "bleeping" face. Eat it or "bleep" off. I mean that.” Charlotte took a slice and lunged at her man. But he stormed off, leaving her to follow in her tights, shouting obscenities.

Next stop was Le Privilège, where Charlotte downed two shots before grabbing the bar's microphone and belting out Sting's hit Fields of Gold. Amid punters' chants of “encore”, she launched into Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody, then Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water. Gavin scowled in a corner before squaring up to a group of lads congratulating the star.

When fans tried to take photos he let out a foul-mouthed tirade and was escorted out by his mates. Angry Charlotte ordered another two rounds of drinks before, at 1am, the party hit the Le Choucas bar and sank more booze. But after half an hour Charlotte and her girl pals fled. She was heard saying: “He's impossible when he's drunk. Why can't he know his limits? He's unbearable at times.”

Gavin stumbled out ranting and had to be restrained from lunging at some local lads as they laughed at him. Charlotte and a pal then had to support him as they walked a few hundred yards to the nearest taxi rank. At one point he collapsed into a flower basket before a taxi whisked them back to their £10,000-a-week chalet.”

………Just a normal Tuesday night out for your average seasonnaire!
