Abbey Clancy is from Liverpool; born as Abigail Rose Clancy on 10 January 1986, she reached popularity during 2006 FIFA World Cup as a young 20 year old girlfriend of English footballer, Peter Crouch.

She formed a girl band that followed a boyband Blue on their tour, but soon fell apart as they couldn't sign up record deals. The group was called "Genie Queen".

Abbey is an underwear and cat walk model who was a finalists amongst 13 other girls in 2006 Britain's Next Top Model, but lost the competition to Lianna Fowler who had more modeling looks than Abbey. Abbey was viewed more as a glamour girl than a fashion starlet. This opened the doors for Abbey's successful career in media as her relationship with Crouch was revealed during the World Cup.

However Abbey's involvement with Crouch fell apart after photos of her using drugs were leaked to the media. He dumped her via a fax. This didn't stop her from appearing in various magazines (Maxim, Nuts, OK, GQ, FHM) that year and the years that followed.

She also appeared in Hell's Kitchen and had Janice Dickson as her mentor in a reality show Abbey and Janice: Beauty and the Best, where she tried to get into the modeling world in LA. Her relationship with Crouch was reignited again secretly shortly after their break up, and they got engaged in 2009 in Sardinia, looking forward to their big wedding (but no date has been set as yet). Given Abbey's various appearances in the shows in UK, she would like to be a contestant in Strictly Comes Dancing. In 2009, she was voted 12th in FHM Sexiest Women in the World - annual poll.

Her brother Sean is also a footballer, playing for Conference North Club, Fleetwood Town.
