Abbey Clancy has revealed she was rushed to the hospital due to a grim injury. The model and TV star recently headed to Dubai with her ex-footballer husband, Peter Crouch, for a New Year’s getaway with their four children, but things soon took a nasty turn.

The 40-year-old who found fame on Britain’s Next Top Model suffered a painful injury, which resulted in her being put on a drip after simply hugging a friend. The star was going to give her friend a hug but was left in severe pain, which travelled across her body.

Shortly after the injury, Abbey was left covered and blood and was rushed to the hospital, but says she was left “embarrassed” by the ordeal. “I had a serious injury,” Abbey said.

She went on to say on her and her husband’s The Therapy Crouch podcast: “I broke my nail. It sounds insane and I was so embarrassed going to hospital. We’d been out for a lovely meal. Tom and Kaz came back to our room, had a quick glass of wine, kids played.

“Then as she was going to bed at 11pm, I gave her a hug, and my acrylic nail bent right back. My whole nail came off. It was pouring with blood. Then it stopped and this nerve throbbed, which was going down my whole arm, down my shoulder, up my neck.”

Abbey continued: “The doctor came to the room at 3am, put me on a drip for painkillers. When we were calling down to hotel reception, I was like, ‘Can we have some paracetamol?’ They said, ‘We can’t give you paracetamol, we can’t give you ibuprofen.’

“So we had to wait for a doctor – that was two hours. Then the doctor came and said, ‘I’m going to put you on a drip.’ That was another two hours.” Abbey admitted it sounds “ridiculous”, but she was in a lot of pain.

She said: “Then Lucinda [her friend] picked me up at 8am, took me to the hospital. I met the most phenomenal doctor, he was fabulous, because I’ve got a phobia of hospitals, and he was just wonderful. They injected all my hand. They had to numb it – ugh and that relief.

“Because I’d been up from 11pm to 7am crying, hand under hot water, cold water, arm up, arm down. It sounds so pathetic. It sounds ridiculous.” After being up all night with Abbey, former England footballer Peter had to call off a planned golf day with his pals, but they thought he was joking when he said it was because his wife had “broken a nail”.

Peter said: “I had golf the next day. I went, ‘Lads, I’m not going to be able to play, we’ve been up all night. There’s no way we can come. Abs is in the hospital.’

“They said, ‘Oh my God, what’s up?’ I said, ‘She’s broken a nail.’ They said, ‘Are you actually joking?’ I was like, ‘No, I swear it’s bad.’ ” Abbey added: “The doctor was like, ‘No form of painkiller will stop this pain – you need nerve blocker.’ So they removed my nail.”
