Abbey Clancy launches solo TV career and will host new ITV interior show
ABBEY Clancy is launching a solo TV career after signing a huge new deal.
The model is hosting a new interior design series and will start filming in summer.
Abbey, 36, who is married to former Southampton and Tottenham striker Peter Crouch, 42, is said to be over-the-moon at being chosen to front the show.
A source said: “Abbey has been making waves on her podcast with Peter and now she’s forging a path solo on the box.
“She has been chosen to front a new interior design show which is being made and developed for ITVBE and ITYX.
“It is a six-part series which will follow Abbey meeting other women with a passion for interior design.
“Abbey is hugely passionate about interiors so she is so happy to have been asked to take part.
“She has had a few hosting stints before but on lesser known shows and channels – like when she fronted Britain’s Next Top Model on Lifetime for one series in 2015.
“This will be Abbey’s first solo presenting job for a major broadcaster and she could not be more excited.”
Abbey, who has four children Sophia, 11, Liberty, seven, Johnny, four, and Jack, three, with Peter, made a name for herself after she was the runner-up on Britain’s Next Top Model in 2006.
She went on to have a successful career in the industry before appearing on a number of television shows as a talking head and a guest presenter.
Her new podcast with pundit Peter, called the Therapy Crouch, has proved a smash hit since it launched earlier this year.
A source added: “Abbey is so warm and personable – ITV think their audiences will love her.”
In December Abbey and Peter renewed their vows on a beach in the Maldives to mark their 11 year wedding anniversary.
She said of the celebration: “We started as a young couple together, and now here we are with our four kids walking us down the aisle. I feel like the luckiest person on earth.
“We were going to renew our vows on our ten-year anniversary, but with lockdown, we couldn’t do it…
“Pete’s quite romantic at heart; he has definitely earned himself brownie points for the next few years.”
