Abbey Clancy recently shared a scary incident where she had to rush to the hospital due to a painful injury. The model and TV personality, known for her time on Britain’s Next Top Model, was in Dubai with her husband, ex-footballer Peter Crouch, and their four children for a New Year’s vacation when the unexpected mishap occurred.
The 40-year-old suffered a distressing injury after a simple hug with a friend led to excruciating pain that spread through her body. Abbey was left covered in blood and had to be quickly taken to the hospital, though she admitted feeling embarrassed about the situation.
During an episode of The Therapy Crouch podcast with her husband, Abbey explained that the injury happened when her acrylic nail got damaged while hugging her friend, resulting in significant bleeding and nerve pain that extended from her hand to her shoulder and neck. The intense pain prompted a late-night hospital visit and the need for a drip to manage it.
Despite feeling self-conscious about the incident, Abbey praised the medical care she received and the nerve-blocking treatment that eventually led to the removal of her nail. The ordeal kept her up all night in agony, causing Peter to cancel a planned golf outing with his friends as he tended to his wife’s unexpected injury.
Abbey’s experience serves as a reminder of how even minor accidents can sometimes have serious consequences, highlighting the importance of prompt medical attention in such situations.
