Abigail Clancy

Abigail Rose Clancy (born 10 January 1986), also known as Abi Clancy or Abbey Clancy, is an English lingerie and catwalk model who made headlines during the 2006 FIFA World Cup as the girlfriend of England football star Peter Crouch.

After football striker Peter Crouch signed for Liverpool, the pair started dating. Clancy became a fully-fledged WAG, and was part of the England team's WAG group during 2006 FIFA World Cup. However, during the tournament, allegations surfaced in several tabloids of cocaine-taking as well as cheating on Crouch with an ex-boyfriend. Clancy was sent home in disgrace half way through the competition, with Crouch having dumped her via fax, issuing a statement via his lawyer disclaiming any further involvement with her:

In light of this, I wish to make the situation absolutely clear: Abi and I were in the early stages of a relationship which, for a number of reasons I decided to end, and accordingly informed Abi of my decision.

Clancy announced via the media that the revelatory drug-taking pictures were taken during her short-lived musical career when she was a teenager.

In the period after the England team exited the World Cup, rumours began to surface that the pair were dating again. Crouch later confirmed this, retracting his legal statement in autumn. The pair are now an infrequent feature of various media stories, focusing on their relatively quiet and stable relationship.

On April 22, 2009, at the FiFi UK Fragrance Awards, Clancy suffered the indignity of her wardrobe malfunctioning: a nipple emerged from the gaping neckline of her dress while she smiled unknowingly in full view of the paparazzi. "We always thought she was a bit flash," remarked The Sun.

Clancy's brother Sean is also a footballer, playing for Conference North club, Fleetwood.Source: www.wikipedia.org
