Abbey Clancy displays her trim figure in lilac gym wear after admitting she ‘hates football’ – despite being a WAG


She’s admitted that she ‘hates’ football – even though she’s married to former England striker Peter Crouch. 

Yet despite her distaste for sport, Abbey Clancy, 35, looked ready to hit the gym as she headed out in athleisurewear in Surrey on Friday. 

The model looked trim in a lilac top and matching leggings that showed off her toned legs.

The mother-of-three layered up with a black gym jacket and donned lilac and cream trainers. 

Abbey was out shopping for beauty products and strode down the streets holding shopping bags from beauty brand Space NK. 

The outing comes after she admitted that she hates football, despite it being the sport her husband Peter used to play professionally.

She admitted her distaste on Fraser T Smith’s 12 questions podcast earlier this month, confessing she sometimes called Peter on a Sunday afternoon when she knew he was playing a game. 

 Abbey said: ‘I’d call him at five to three and I’m like, “Where are you? Why aren’t you answering your phone?”

‘And he’s like, “I’m just about to go on the pitch.” I’m like, “Oh, sorry.” The only thing I like is penalties. It’s surprising we’ve lasted so long!’ 

Peter then admitted he ‘absolutely loves’ how his wife feels about the game, saying that he was able to relax at home and is able to take his mind off football because ‘Ab would change the subject the minute I walked through the door.’  

‘Straight away it’s about the kids, what they’ve done, Ab’s day… She doesn’t even ask me what the score is or if I’d played good or bad.’

Abbey chipped in: ‘He’s just scored a hat-trick and I’m like, “You’re late for dinner!”‘

The model would only know her husband had scored when they sit down to watch Match of the Day, but Peter said: ‘I wouldn’t change it for the world.’

Abbey added: ‘My brother Sean played for Liverpool and Everton, and Blackpool and Fleetwood. As a child, I got dragged to matches and my memory of it is being cold, wet and bored.’

‘To this day, when I watch football, all I see – unless it’s Ronaldo playing, or Peter – is just men running round.’ 

The revelation came after Abbey opened up about past marital struggles with Peter and revealed that at one point ‘he hated me and I hated him’.

The couple wed in 2011 and have four children together, Sophia Ruby, 10, Liberty Rose, 6, Johnny 3, and Jack, 22 months.
