Soccer star Crouch marries

SOCCER star Peter Crouch’s romance with model Abbey Clancy hit new heights as the couple were married yesterday.

The pair wed in front of around 120 family and friends at country estate Stapleford Park in Leicestershire.

TV star Clancy, 25, wore a bespoke dress by designer Giles Deacon with a tight strapless white bodice and full, floor-length skirt.

Clancy has previously modelled for Deacon.

She wore her hair in soft waves and clutched a simple white bouquet as she and the towering player posed for photos at the gate of the smart country house.

The couple were married in a simple ceremony at the church of St Mary Magdalene within the 500-acre estate with grounds landscaped by Capability Brown, near Melton Mowbray.

Spurs striker Crouch, 30, wore a black three-piece suit with a white tie for the occasion.

The pair, who have a three-month-old daughter Sophia Ruby, have been dating for five years. They later held a reception at the Orangery within the grounds.
