Austin Healey

Austin Sean Healey (born 26 October 1973 in Wallasey, Cheshire) is a former English rugby union player, who played as a utility back for Leicester Tigers, and has represented the England national rugby union team and the British Lions.

He has 51 England caps and 2 Lions caps. He has played for England at scrum half, fly-half, fullback and wing, and has often been used as a replacement (or substitute) because of his versatility. He is a famously competitive and "outspoken" character, gaining the nickname "The Leicester Lip".

In 2008, he took part in Strictly Come Dancing (Series 6) which started on the 20th September. He made it to the quarter-finals, with dance partner Erin Boag.

Healey revealed on Strictly Come Dancing that he has four daughters; Ellie-Mae born 2001, Daisy in 2003, and twins, Betsy and Bibi-dee (named after his late mother), born early 2008.
