Abbey on her figure: “I eat what I want to – my genes play a huge part”
Just five months after having her fourth baby, Abbey Clancy wows fans with her stunning beach body
Abbey Clancy turned heads when she was pictured looking svelte and toned while on holiday in Dubai earlier this month, having given birth to her fourth child just five months before.
The model, 33, showed off her phenomenal figure while relaxing on a beach with children Sophia, eight, Liberty, four, Johnny, one, and five-month-old Jack, whom she shares with former footballer husband Peter Crouch.
Fans commented on her incredible figure, posting online with comments including, “She is just stunning,” and, “Wow, can’t believe she’s had four kids!”
GREEN JUICES
Size 6-8 Abbey, who is 5ft 9, has previously revealed that she is fairly laid-back when it comes to diet and fitness, but says that she enjoys doing Pilates and eating healthily to give her more energy.
She said, “I generally eat what I want to in moderation. I don’t really struggle with my weight too much, so I don’t have to be focused on what not to eat. But I like to eat well because it gives me energy and I feel less tired – and it’s good for your skin and hair.
I do green juices every day at home, everyone has them.
“I love Pilates. I’ve been doing more core work for fitness. After having my third baby, I did feel quite weak and tired... Doing your pelvic floor exercises and working on your core, you just feel stronger.”
But while she takes good care of herself, Abbey also says she’s been blessed with fantastic genes, crediting her mum Karen, 58, for her slim figure and youthful looks.
She said, “Everyone in my family is slim and tall. My mother bounced back after kids, so I think my genes are a huge part of it.”
Abbey – who has built up a fashion empire in her own right as host of Britain’s Next Top Model and her clothing range with Lipsy – began dating former England player Peter, 38, in 2006 and they married five years later.
The pair have delighted fans with their easygoing, funny relationship – with Peter happily admitting he’s “punching above his weight” with the model, and Abbey saying, “Pete is hopeless at housework and it wouldn’t be safe to let him cook. The only thing he’s good at with his height is changing light bulbs.”
TAKING CARE
Abbey has also previously revealed that she and Peter love working out together. Speaking about a recent holiday, she said, “We got up early, we didn’t drink, we did yoga and we went to bed early.
“It sounds really boring but, actually, it was so nice to just relax and take care of ourselves – we did yoga together every morning.”
And speaking about their relationship on The Jonathan Ross Show earlier this month, Peter revealed he’d dedicated his new autobiography to her and gave an insight into their relationship.
He said, “I dedicated it solely to her – I wrote, ‘To my beautiful wife Abbey, who will only read this page of the book. I laugh and laugh with you every day, even when you’re pregnant’ – when she is mental, by the way. ‘This one’s for you, love you always.’ And I do.”
