Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch 'distraught' after home is ransacked

The couple - who live in a ?4.5 million mansion in Cheshire, North West England - were "distraught" when they returned home to find the property ransacked by thieves, with Christmas presents, luxury Rolex watches and a number of rings belonging to the 25-year-old model having gone missing.

It is thought the burglars had been watching the house and waiting for the couple to go out before forcing their way in through a kitchen window on Tuesday, before being disturbed when the soccer star and his wife returned home.

A friend of the pair told MailOnline: "Abbey and Peter must have disturbed the burglars when they heard their car coming up the drive.

"They believe there were several men in the house."

Fortunately, the couple's nine-month-old daughter Sophia Ruby was being looked after by Abbey's mother at the time of the incident.

A pal added to the Daily Mirror: "Abbey and Peter are naturally distressed that this has happened, particularly in the run-up to Christmas."

It is thought Abbey called police - who are launching an investigation into the burglary - as soon as she and the 30-year-old sportsman returned home.

A spokeswoman for Cheshire Police said: "Thieves broke in to the house via a kitchen window, stealing jewellery and electrical items."

However, this isn't the first time Peter - who bought the Cheshire mansion, which features a gym, a swimming pool and a cinema, from retired England cricketer Andrew Flintoff three months ago after signing for Premier League team Stoke City - has been targeted by burglars.

In 2006, his home in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, was raided, with thieves stealing football memorabilia, champagne and jewellery and his exclusive Aston Martin car worth a total of ?200,000.

Merry Christmas and an Abbey New Year

The Scouse beauty, 25, donned deer antlers and little else for a sexy Christmas shot.

And in this shape it's not only Santa and his sledge Abbey could pull ? she'll be on the Christmas list of every fella in Britain.

The model, soccer ace Peter Crouch's wife, gave birth to baby Sophia only in March.

Her festive pic features in Love Magazine's alternative advent calendar ? which showcases a different girl every day during December.

Kelly Brook and Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio are among others to feature.

Abbey also recorded a video dancing provocatively to festive song Santa Baby for the Love Magazine website.

A source said: "Abbey was brilliant fun on the shoot. She was very cheeky on set and had some special shots taken for Peter as a Christmas present."

Abbey Crouch tries to conceal her pout on day out with baby Sophia

She's been at the centre of claims she may have had her lips enhanced after she was spotted with a suspiciously fuller pout.

And now, after posting a picture poking fun at the claims on her Twitter page, Abbey Crouch is determined to conceal her lips as much as possible from photographers.

On a day out with her daughter Sophia, Abbey pursed her mouth, causing it to appear as though she had much thinner lips than she actually does.

Now Abbey Crouch has no lips! The model tried to conceal her pout when she headed out with daughter Sophia in Liverpool today

Contrast: Abbey seemed to be keen to make her lips look thinner than they actually are, compared to her plumped up look earlier this week (right)

Abbey donned a pair of skintight red jeans, black top and leather coat as she headed out in Liverpool with her mother and seven-month-old Sophia.

Writing on her Twitter page, Abbey wrote: 'Had a lovely lunch at neighborhood with my mum and my baba #3generations.'

Yesterday, Abbey took to her Twitter page to hit back at speculation she may have had filler injections to make her lips look more full.

Posing with glossy pink clown lips, the 25-year-old joked: 'I swear I haven't had my lips done!'

She added: 'For all the intelligent people out there!'

Her tweet was in response to the Mail and other publications' recent speculation over the WAG's newly-plumped up pout.

 Pictures of Abbey this week with bee-stung lips surprised her fans, given the contrast to her more natural smile a couple of years ago.

A spokesperson for Mrs Crouch insisted to Mail Online yesterday that she had definitely not had work done.

Speaking to a friend on Twitter, she complained that her new look was being compared to pictures from ten years ago.

However just a couple of years ago the blonde beauty was sporting a far more natural look than the one of late.
