Abbey Clancy puffs away on an e-cigarette as she arrives in Palma De Mallorca ahead of a 24-hour holiday
Abbey Clancy was spotted arriving at Palma De Mallorca airport on Tuesday, ahead of a quick 24-hour holiday.
The model, 39, looked effortlessly stylish in baggy black trousers and a camel jacket as she smoked an e-cigarette.
She completed her airport ensemble with oversized dark shades while carrying a large tote bag and her luggage.
Abbey - who looked relaxed on her arrival - stayed at the scenic Hotel Corazon de Saller in the heart of the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains with her hairstylist.
The podcaster appeared to be in for a fast retreat as she whisked off back to the UK on Wednesday morning.
Her sighting in Spain comes after the runway icon revealed that she was ghosted by TV bosses after being asked to be in one of their hit shows.
She made the confession on her The Therapy Crouch podcast with husband Peter.
On the show, they read out a story from one of their listeners which was about colloquialisms.
The pair then got on to talking about the Scouse phrase 'come 'ed', which means 'come ahead' or 'come on'.
This reminded Abbey of the sitcom G'wed - a comedy about working class Liverpudlian teenagers.
She then revealed: 'They asked me to be in that. I said yes but they never got back to me,' which left Peter in stitches.
Abbey then continued as she poked fun at the career fail as she exaggerated her accent and said: 'Come 'ed, lad. Get in touch, yeah?!'
The second series of G'wed aired in February and a third is in production.
The unexpected confession comes after last week Abbey revealed Peter 's 'annoying' parenting habit as she opened up on her 'chaotic' family dynamic.
She candidly admitted the former footballer, 44, can sometimes get on her nerves when it comes to parenting their four children - Sophia Ruby, 13, Liberty Rose, 9, and sons Johnny, 6, and Jack, five.
She told OK! magazine: 'Pete's good cop and I'm bad cop. I'm the one going, 'Do your homework, eat your veg', and Pete's like, 'Let's play, kids!' which can be annoying but… it works.
'Our kids are very good, though. They've all got distinct personalities but they're all easy-going. That's not to say family life isn't chaotic – it's chaotic!
'There's absolutely nothing chilled about, but we wouldn't have it any other way.'
Abbey also dubbed Peter 'useless' as she confirmed her fears over her sex life confessions.
The couple, who hosts the Therapy Crouch podcast, also told the Mirror how they keep their spark alive after 14 years of marriage.
Ddspite spending all their time together, Abbey said she doesn't feel like she 'needs space' away from him.
But Abbey did explain that when she is feeling unwell, she does need some space because Peter is a 'c**p nurse'.
She said: 'I don't need 'space' from Peter – unless I'm ill, like I am at the minute, because he's a c**p nurse and I want him to go away! He's useless then.'
During their podcast Abbey is very open and honest about her private life, which also tends to involve some very racy information about their sex life.
And while she and Peter seem unbothered by disclosing their bedroom antics, she did confess that she worries she will say something she doesn't.
'But you know what? It's important for us to be authentic… to be real', she added.
Abbey and Peter also shared they make sure their family stay connected with some unique rules in their house.
They implemented an iPad and phone ban at Christmas, insisting it's led to a more positive attitude in their household.
Speaking on their The Therapy Crouch podcast, Peter explained: 'We said to them iPads and phones are gone and I feel we've stuck to that.
'We made a conscious effort amongst ourselves to cut them out and they've properly cut them out.'
They mentioned other rules they've put in place include focusing on homework, spending time as a family before having quality time together once the kids go to bed.

Spain v France: Nations League semi-final
Update: Date: 2025-06-05T17:26:37.000Z Title: Preamble Content: Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Ballon d'Or decider between Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembele in Stuttgart. That, at least, is how some people are pitching this Nations League semi-final between Spain and France. It's a reminder that – despite the best efforts of Paris Saint-Germain and indeed Spain at Euro 2024 -the cult of the individual has never been stronger in football. That cult began, or at least gathered pace, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo lording over the sport for the best part of 15 years. Both are still going strongish, and Ronaldo pilfered the headlines with the winner against Germany in last night's first semi-final. Portugal's win means that, whatever happens tonight, Sunday's final will involve a previous champion. Portugal won the inaugural tournament in 2019, France beat Spain the final in 2021 and Spain overcame Croatia in 2023. That turned into a useful stepping stone ahead of Euro 2024, a tournament Spain won so magnificently. They beat four former world champions en route, including France in a pulsating semi-final. We could have another thriller tonight. May the best team – italics, bold – win. Kick off 8pm.

Gareth Southgate brought in the Marines, Thomas Tuchel prefers Pilates
What hits you — well, what gently brushes your cheek — about La Camiral Golf & Wellness is its stillness. When sounds come they are just mild departures from the quiet. A whirr of a golf buggy, the twitter of birds, chirruping insects, a rustle of leaves in the breeze. The music of moneyed relaxation; and from this, England hope to build a soundtrack ending with Sweet Caroline. Generals show themselves through how they treat their troops and it was fascinating being at this resort near Girona, Spain, to see Thomas Tuchel's version of what Gareth Southgate did eight years ago. In June 2017, at the start of his stint as permanent England manager, Southgate used an end-of-season camp as a sort of culture ground zero — a chance to bond the squad and instil the values that would sustain it at the following year's World Cup. Players met in the dressing room at St George's Park and a door sprung open, through which marched representatives from the Royal Marines. The players were told to leave everything, including their phones, and change into fatigues. They went on a bus all the way to the Royal Marines Commando Training Centre near Lympstone in Devon where they spent two days camping on Woodbury Common and tackling gruelling challenges such as the 'sheep dip', which involved crawling through a submerged tunnel of brown, freezing water. Southgate himself plunged in first. It was all very Gareth, the combination of men sharing their feelings under the stars in a context as patriotic as hell. It successfully set the tone for a period peaking at the 2018 World Cup in Russia where a new England, an honest, un-glitzy, vulnerable-but-proud younger squad, recaptured the affection of the English public. The boot camp also helped Southgate choose how his group would be led — by Harry Kane, who the Marines picked out as having the most officer-like quality. REUTERS/ALBERT GEA La Camiral is very Thomas Tuchel. Refined, relaxed and overseas — with a decluttered focus on sport. This is a man who likes a yoga retreat and Japanese tea ceremony. He's more a barefoot than a boot camp guy. But he took England to their retreat in the Pyrenean foothills for the same reason Southgate played soldiers: in a conscious attempt, a year from a World Cup, to establish the relationships and behaviours he thinks necessary for success at a tournament. It's why John Stones, who is rehabilitating an injury is here, and the players going to the Club World Cup were not excused. Being part of the camp was crucial, even if England's match against Andorra on Saturday, in Barcelona, is not. Tuchel is an unusual mix of personal informality and professional intensity, and the camp reflected that. The work part, involving high-tempo training and heat-testing where players ingested digital pills and strained on exercise bikes, in tents, to the point of exhaustion, made headlines. But the downtime stuff has been just as important. On Wednesday, the players were given a recovery day which included gentle exercising in the garden of their hotel with Pilates poles. Then they were free to do as they pleased. Several made use of the resort's world-class golf courses (used for Spanish Opens and PGA Tour events), Cole Palmer went for a bike ride, Jordan Henderson, Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold used the outdoor swimming pool. Eberechi Eze 'spent time just chilling and speaking to family'. There were card games and a PlayStation. Had they been minded to, the players could have used the resort's bird-watching station or fishing pier. EDDIE KEOGH – THE FA/THE FA VIA GETTY IMAGES For a technocrat known for tactical detailing of the highest level, Tuchel is perhaps surprisingly fixated on the human side, and for him the camp has been invaluable for observing his group and furthering his own connections with them — often through casual, individual chats, like he enjoyed with Palmer, each sitting on a ball, briefly shooting the breeze. His ideas around leadership are embodied by Henderson's return to the fold. He sees the 34-year-old midfielder's vocal, outgoing influence as necessary to complement Kane's lead-by-example style and prizes his particular connection with Bellingham. Tuchel is thought to have in mind, as a leadership group for the next year, the quintet of Kane, Henderson, Bellingham, Stones and Bukayo Saka, which adds to the significance of Stones travelling to continue his rehab out here. The week started with a visit to the Spanish Grand Prix. To observers, Palmer seemed pretty nonchalant (or was it nonplussed) about being there but he claimed he enjoyed himself. 'It was good. I went to the one in Abu Dhabi not long ago. But I fell asleep at that one. This one, I was awake,' he said. The motor racing was not only a bonding jaunt but part of an attempt to replicate tournament conditions. The World Cup starts exactly a year from Wednesday (June 11) and trips to finals begin with a send-off, so being part of a big public event was seen as mimicking that in a fashion. Squads have to arrive at tournaments five days before their first game, generally checking into their base camp, preparing there, then moving to the city where they are playing on match day minus one. Accordingly, England spent five days at La Camiral and head to Barcelona on Friday for their meeting with Andorra the following evening. The idea is to have been, as close as possible, in tournament mode. Wednesday's media day was a conscious replication of this. Players were ferried from their hotel to a close-by external location, accompanied by media officers, just like at finals. Similarly, La Camiral — handpicked by the FA's team operations department — was organised like an England base camp hotel with an emphasis on socialising and eating in outdoor areas, and freedom to roam about the site. It is not a dissimilar location to the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land in Blankenhain used by England during Euro 2024, and the ForRestMix Club in Repino, England's base at the World Cup in Russia in 2018. Being in the open air and feeling able to move around freely are seen as important by the FA's performance team, in staving off stress and boredom in tournaments. 'A mini-base camp' and 'World Cup lite' were two descriptions of what La Camiral has been about. England stayed at the main hotel on the resort and it was very much Tuchel's vibe. There, ambient piano music plays. On the corridor walls are giant, soothing paintings of woodland. There are Oriental chairs, diffusers, an open-plan atrium filled with natural light, where a red-brick fireplace and artful bookshelves stretch from floor to ceiling over two stories. In the wellness centre you could book for the 'Yoga & Brunch series'. Apparently each session is aligned with the lunar cycle, offering a unique blend of mindful movement, water rituals and nourishing seasonal food. Maybe Tuchel will come back for a holiday. Time will tell. If it all goes wrong, the place will be forgotten. But if England end up parading the World Cup, to their fans singing Sweet Caroline, La Camiral, June 2025, will go down as the starting point, the where and zen a journey began. Andorra v England

‘I'm not a robot' – Cole Palmer's mum tells him to be ‘more smiley' but Chelsea star is ‘laid back' like his dad
COLE Palmer admits his mum wants him to cheer up and show more emotion. But the Chelsea and England star says it takes something like a disaster on PlayStation for him to lose his famous cool - and even then only behind closed doors. 4 4 Palmer, who is preparing for England's World Cup qualifier against Andorra, said: 'My mum says to try and be a bit more involved and a bit more smiley and energetic and that. ' Me and my dad are just too laid back, I think. 'My dad says: 'He's just like me, so just leave him alone.' 'When did I last get angry? I don't know, maybe when I played PlayStation or something. 'I'm not just a robot like you think I am and don't show no emotion. 'When there's no cameras and I'm on the phone to my mates and I'm doing stuff I enjoy doing… 'Off the pitch I'm like this but then on the pitch…it's like a switch. 'I'm just being myself.' Palmer is so chilled that he can fall asleep at an F1 race. England boss Thomas Tuchel took the squad to the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday and the Chelsea playmaker revealed: 'It was good. 'To do what-' - Cole Palmer left confused as he's asked to name his Premier League Mount Rushmore 'I went to the one in Abu Dhabi not long ago. But I fell asleep at that one. I don't know what it was. 'This one, I was awake.' Palmer's 'Cold' celebration and style of play make him an idol to young fans, regardless of which team they support. The Chelsea playmaker said: 'When you see kids and that doing what they're doing and saying that, it's nice.' Palmer is typically calm about his growing celebrity. But the born and bred Mancunian Palmer, who left Manchester City for the Blues in 2023, still finds living down south a challenge. Palmer previously commented on southerners being grumpy and said: 'They're all still moody. They're all still like that. 'I think because it's so busy, they're all stressed and that. It must be a southern thing. 'I don't live central. Sometimes I go into central London, but I couldn't live there.' 4 4
