Personal life
After football striker Peter Crouch signed for Liverpool, the
pair started dating. Clancy became a fully fledged WAG, and
became part of the England teams WAG group during 2006 FIFA
World Cup. However, during the tournament, allegations surfaced
in several tabloids of cocaine-taking as well as cheating on
Crouch with an ex-boyfriend. Clancy was sent home in disgrace
half way through the competition, with Crouch having dumped her
via a fax issuing a statement via his lawyer disclaiming any
further involvement with her: "In light of this, I wish to make
the situation absolutely clear: Abi and I were in the early
stages of a relationship which, for a number of reasons I
decided to end, and accordingly informed Abi of my decision."
Clancy announced via the media that the pictures were taken
during her short lived musical career when she was a teenager.
In the period after the England team exited the World Cup,
rumours began to surface that the pair were dating again, later
confirmed by Crouch removing his legal statement in the Autumn.
The pair are now an irregular feature of various media stories,
focusing on their relatively quiet and stable relationship. Her
brother, Kyle Clancy is a professional footballer currently
playing for Blackpool, and her other brother, Sean Clancy plays
for Conference North club, Burscough. - Courtesy of
