Abbey Clancy Quotes

Cancer is something that, tragically, affects almost all of our lives.

For a lot of people, it’s a massive deal to be on the front row at Fashion Week and look perfect. I don’t go to be seen; I go to look at the collections and support my friends, like Henry, Giles and Jonathan Saunders. As much as I love clothes and shopping, it doesn’t drive me.

I think it’s important to keep your own identity when you‘ve got a baby.

I love the Kerastase Hair Oils and the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer. They’re great for making my hair really soft, but to be honest, any cheap conditioner works. Just leave it on and let it soak in, and it really helps, whatever you use.

I honestly don’t diet or work out regularly. I’m just always running around – you’ll never catch me having a day on the sofa.

I was already in a band, and the teachers called my mum in and said: ‘Abbey‘s so clever, it’s a total waste if she follows her dream‘. But I never wanted to do a job I didn’t love, and I’d always wanted to be a model or an actress or a singer.

I’d love to have more kids. I’m one of four, and I’ve always dreamed of having a huge family. I’ve loved every second of having Sophia. It’s been just the most amazing time of my life. I’d love more of it.

My mum had four kids on her own, so if I had one kid with one nanny and not a full-time job, it would be a joke. And I think the impossible happens when you leave your kids. I’ve seen so many nannies in the park on their phones, and the kids are running off.

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi is just great. You get yourself in a hot bath to soften up your skin and then use this, and it really works. Plus, it’s so easy to do, and you don’t have to leave the house, so whenever you want to put sandals on, you don’t have to worry about going to the salon.

I’ve bought some Lanvin snake-print wedges, so maybe you’ll see me pushing the pram in those and my hotpants!

My natural hair is jet black. I used to have it down to my bum. And I went through a phase of being obsessed with fake tan. So from the age of 14 to 16, I looked like an Apache Indian!
