Strictly Annabel

TV personality and sports pundit Annabel Croft entertained a packed crowd in the Inspiration Theatre at the NEC Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show, where she was interviewed about her passion for motorhoming, her van conversion and her role as an ambassador at the Caravan and Motorhome Club (CAMC).

Former tennis star Annabel bought her van, a Mercedes Sprinter LWB, with husband Mel in 2021 and he converted it into a campervan over three months during the pandemic lockdown, naming it ‘Vannabel’. Sadly, Mel died in 2023.

Annabel told PM deputy editor Paul Critcher, “I’m an ambassador for the CAMC and feel like I’ve been welcomed into the club with open arms, into the most wonderful family.

“Every time I come to the shows, I’m blown away and excited to see the motorhomes and compare layouts. Today I was seeing ’vans with showers with revolving doors and I haven’t seen that before. It also gives you lots of motivation to go and visit places – I love it.”
