By KIRSTY MCCORMACK

One big happy family: Peter Crouch, his wife Abbey and their daughter, Sophia Ruby, enjoy a day out while on holiday in Capri, Italy

Most people may sit at home twiddling their thumbs when waiting on a decision that shapes their future career, but not footballer Peter Crouch.

The lanky striker fled to the Italian island of Capri with his wife Abbey Clancy and their five-month-old daughter, Sophia Ruby, ahead of his move to Stoke City.

The couple, who married in June this year, were seen holidaying in the popular resort spending quality time as a family.

Clancy, 25, wore a skimpy blue and white checked bikini with dark sunglasses as she relaxed by the side of the pool and watched 30-year-old Crouch take a splash with Sophia Ruby in the swimming pool.

The family were also photographed making the most of the Italian culture and mingling with the locals as they strolled through the town.

Crouch, who previously played for Tottenham Hotspur, was seen pushing his daughter's buggy as his child, who wore a pink headband, took in the Italian atmosphere in her mother's arms.

Clancy chose to cover up for their day out and wore a low-cut linen dress and gold sandals over a bikini.

The happy family were later pictured taking a break from their walk at a nearby lake, where Hells Kitchen contestant, Clancy, had decided to show off her slender figure again, this time in khaki green halterneck bikini top.

The lingerie and catwalk model didn't strip completely though as she folded her dress down to her waist and put her dark sunglasses on, whilst her husband chose to keep his long sleeved top on in the hot weather.

It was announced that the 6ft 7in football player was moving to Stoke City on August 31.


Stoked: Peter was bought by Stoke City for £10 million last month and has begun training with his new team

The Premier League club announced that they had bought the striker for a record fee of £10million which could rise to £12million on a four-year contract.

After the move was finalised, Crouch revealed that his former Tottenham Hotspur colleague, Jonathan Woodgate, was a major influence upon his decision to join Stoke City.

Leggy lady: Abbey Crouch showed off her toned figure in a pair of tiny leather hotpants on This Morning yesterday


She might be a new mother, but Abbey Crouch shows no sign of toning down her wardrobe.

The 25-year-old star was spotted showing off her toned figure in pair of tiny quilted leather shorts as she presented her fashion segment on This Morning yesterday.

Abbey teamed the bottoms, which highlighted her enviably long legs, with a black and red checked shirt for her television appearance.

Toned: The 25-year-old looks in incredible shape, despite having given birth to daughter Sophia in March


As she left the ITV studios after her morning of work, Abbey changed her shorts for a pair of figure-hugging black leggings.

Abbey was on the show to give viewers tips on how to achieve the A-list look with the best celebrity clothing ranges.

She tweeted before her appearance: 'On my way to this morning got a great feature today celebrity clothes ranges!!! Xx tune in baby!! xx'

The stunning WAG, wife of Peter Crouch, said recently that she had no intention of changing the way she looks just because she's a mother.

Lithe: Abbey later changed into a pair of black leggings as she left for the day


She explained: 'I'm determined not to start dressing like I'm 45 years old now that I'm a mum.

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

When asked how she lost her baby weight so quickly, Abbey admitted she regularly watched a Sky show called Perfect Bum With Doug Robertson.

Fresh-faced: Abbey had arrived at the ITV studios wearing leggings and a striped jumper


She said: 'After I’ve fed Sophia, me and my mum work out to it in the kitchen. And with all the amazing weather we’ve been having, I’ve been on long walks, pushing Sophia’s pram. I do feel fab.'

It was claimed recently that Abbey has moved her mother Karen into her family home in Surrey to help look after little Sophia.

A source told The Sun: 'Abbey's getting back to work and wants her mum with the baby rather than hired help.

'It means she can catch up on sleep after night feeds.'

Abbey goes cardinal! Mrs Crouch looks fierce in fiery figure-hugging red frock on rocking night out with new husband Peter

By JODY THOMPSON

Red hot: Abbey Crouch looked sensational in a figure-hugging scarlet dress on a night out with new husband Peter at Gilgamesh in Camden, London last night

They only just got back from their honeymoon in Ibiza last month - but Peter Crouch and his new wife Abbey looked they were carrying on the party last night after an evening carousing at London's glitzy Gilgamesh.

Abbey, 25, looked flaming hot in a skintight strapless red dress and nude strappy Louboutin heels to show yet again that she's lost every inch of her baby weight since giving birth to first baby Sophia Ruby four months ago.

The couple looked as if there were having a rollicking night out as as they left the north London restaurant and bar made comedy rock signs in the back of the car that was taking them home.


Rocking out: The model and her footballer spouse looked like they'd had a wild night out and were throwing hand signs in the back of the car taking them home


Wild night: It was hard to tell who had more fun, Peter or his new wife


In fact, it was hard to see who was having more fun, leggy model and TV presenter Abbey or her Tottenham and England footballing star husband, 30.

Clearly, the new parents, who both work, felt the need to let off some steam.

Abbey has also gone back to work already and announced last week, that unlike Zara Phillips, she would be taking her husband's surname and was leaving Clancy behind with her single days.


Last minute adjustments: Abbey made sure her strapless dress didn't slip as she made her way to the car


Home, James: By the looks of it, the pair would be needing Alka Seltzer when they got up for baby Sophia Ruby's morning feed today

Hot mama! Abbey Crouch shows off her endlessly long legs as she takes on summer's hottest trend in a short suit

By SARAH BULL


Hot mama! Abbey Crouch shows off her incredible post-baby figure in a short suit as she steps out in Liverpool

She gave birth just four months ago but quickly bounced back into shape.

And Abbey Crouch has been using every opportunity to show off her post-baby figure to the best of her ability in recent weeks.

The 25-year-old star yesterday decided to display her endlessly long legs as she embraced summer style in the trend of the moment - the short suit.


Leggy lady: Abbey teamed her suit with a pair of black sandals as she and a friend attended an event

Abbey opted for a khaki pair of shorts and matching jacket as she stepped out in Liverpool for the launch of a new laser skin clinic.

The model mother teamed her shorts suit with a pair of black sandals and added an animal-print handbag to complete her look.

Abbey said previously that she was keen to regain her sense of style after giving birth to her first child with husband Peter Crouch, daughter Sophia.


Posing up: The 25-year-old star previously said she was looking forward to upping her fashion stakes after giving birth to daughter Sophia

Shortly after the birth, Abbey said: 'While most of my friends came to my baby shower with toys and baby clothes, my stylist Angie Smith bought me red leather hotpants!

'I can't wait to wear them. I'm determined not to start dressing like I'm 45 years old now that I'm a mum.'

And, in a recent interview with Esquire magazine, Abbey, who previously made it to the final of Britain's Next Top Model, admitted she can't help posing when there's a camera pointed at her.


Smiles all around: Abbey attended the opening of a new laser skin clinic in Liverpool


'I used to say if it happened I’d die happy, but now I’ve got a baby I can’t die, because I’ve got to look after her.'

Meanwhile, it's back to business as usual for Abbey, as she returned to work on This Morning yesterday after her maternity leave.


Back to work: Abbey returned to work on This Morning yesterday and revealed she will be taking her new husband's surname of Crouch


And, as she returned to her fashion slot on the show, Abbey told hosts Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes she would no longer be going by her pre-married name of Clancy.

Abbey explained: 'No, I think I'd like to have the same name as my baby and we can all be a little Crouchy family! Or big Crouchy's!'

Abbey and Peter tied the knot on June 30 in a lavish ceremony at Stapleford Park hotel in Leicestershire.
