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.
